Allah hears those who praise Him. Allah is the Greatest, the Most Great; much praise be to Allah, and glory be to Allah at the break of dawn and in the evening.
0:15
Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, by the number of all He has created.
0:35
Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, by the number of all that His Book has recorded, and by the measure of all that His Book has recorded, and by the number of all things, and by the measure of all things.
0:54
Praise be to Allah, a profuse praise, and praise be to Allah, an ever-increasing praise.
1:02
“And We remove whatever rancour may be in their hearts. Rivers flow beneath them. And they say: The praise to Allah, Who hath guided us to this. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us. Verily the messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth. And it is cried unto them: This is the Garden. Ye inherit it for what ye used to do.” (7:43)
1:11
Praise be to Allah, who brought us into existence from nothing, nurtured us with His blessings, enabled us to reach Ramadan, and preserved us until its final ten nights.
1:24
Praise be to Allah, who made us of the Ummah of the best of creation. Praise be to Allah for His numerous blessings and abundant favors—a praise that corresponds to His blessings and matches their increase.
1:42
Praise be to Allah, a profuse, good, and blessed praise that fills the heavens, fills the earth, fills all that is between them, and fills whatever else my Lord wills thereafter.
1:57
He is the Lord of praise and majesty, the most worthy of what a servant can say, and we are all servants to Allah.
2:07
O our Lord, we cannot enumerate the praise due to You; to You belongs praise as the praisers have praised You, and even more than the praisers have praised You; to You belongs the praise with which You have praised Yourself.
2:22
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment.
2:30
“Praise be to Allah, Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord.” (6:1)
2:38
“Praise be to Allah Who hath revealed the Scripture unto His slave, and hath not placed therein any crookedness,” (18:1)
2:48
O Allah, bestow Your purest blessings and most perfect peace upon the most noble of Your messengers, Muhammad, peace be upon him.
2:55
O Allah, gather for him the blessings of the first and the last, and multiply them.
3:01
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him by the number of all that You have created from eternity to eternity.
3:09
O Allah, forgive us all.
3:17
And grant the deeds of the wrongdoers among us to the righteous.

O Vast in forgiveness, O Great in mercy, O Generous in giving.

O Bountiful in grace, we ask You to forgive us all in this gathering of ours.
3:33
O Allah, forgive those of us who are present and those who are absent, our men and our women.

5:30
There is no limit to Your generosity.

And there is no end to Your giving.

And those who have clothed us and protected us.
6:27
And those who have defended us from backbiting.

6:33
For a prayer of good for them, O Lord of the worlds.
6:36
O Allah, forgive us and our teachers.

In the last third of Your night.
6:55
In one of Your houses.
6:58
In the final nights of Your month.
7:01
We ask You and we hope in You.
7:04
And we covet what is with You.
7:07
O Allah, if we are not worthy of Your mercy.
7:10
Then Your mercy is worthy of reaching us.

Include us among those whom You have encompassed.
7:16
And give us among those to whom You give.

O Lord of the worlds.

O Allah, grant us such fear of You as will prevent us from disobeying You.
9:03
And such obedience to You as will bring us to Your Paradise.
9:07
And such certainty as will make the calamities of this world easy for us to bear.
9:12
O Allah, let us enjoy our hearing, our sight, and our strength.
9:17
As long as You keep us alive.
9:19
And make that the inheritor of us.
9:22
And grant us victory over those who have wronged us.
9:25
And support us against those who show us enmity.
9:28
And do not let our affliction be in our religion.
9:31
And do not let this world be our greatest concern.
9:35
Nor the limit of our knowledge.
9:37
Nor the end of our goal.
9:39
And do not let the Fire be our destination.
9:42
But make Paradise our home and our abode.
9:46
O Allah, increase us in this world and in our religion.
9:50
O Allah, increase us in this world and in our religion.

Multiply them for us and accept them from us.
10:11
And magnify them for us and exalt them for us.
10:15
O Allah, make us among Your servants whom You have created for Paradise.

O Allah, we seek protection in Your Face.
10:31
And we take refuge in Your Face.
10:33
And we seek shelter in Your Face.
10:35
From the Fire touching us.
10:37
Place a distance between us and it.
10:39
Just as You have placed a distance between the East and the West, O Allah.
10:45
O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.
10:47
And Greatness and Sovereignty.
10:49
O He who created and fashioned.
10:51
And ordained and guided.
10:53
And gave everything its creation, then guided it.
10:56
O Splitter of the seed.
10:58
O Originator of the soul.
11:00
O Originator of the soul.
11:02
O Splitter of the grain.
11:04
O Allah.
11:06
O He who is established on the Throne.
11:08
O He who knows what is in the heavens.
11:11
“Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and whatsoever is between them, and whatsoever is beneath the sod.” (20:6)
11:15

O Allah, we ask You for the guidance after which there is no straying.
11:51
And we ask You for the happiness after which there is no misery.
11:55
Protect us from being deprived after being given.
11:58
And from loss after finding.
12:01
Protect us from straying after guidance.

We seek refuge in You from deprivation after being given.
12:10
And we seek refuge in You from the plots of enemies.
12:13
O Allah, grant us security.
12:16
And grant us well-being and peace.
12:19
And let us enjoy life and provide for us.
12:22
And give us and increase us.
12:25
And be generous to us and pour out Your bounty upon us.
12:28
O Generous.
12:31
O Generous.
12:34
O He whose treasures have no limit.
12:37
The keys to everything are in Your hand.
12:40
And the provision of the servants is upon You.

We ask You for every good, O Allah.

Pour provision upon us in abundance.
12:49
And do not make our livelihood a struggle.
12:52
O Allah, we ask You for a great share.
12:55
And an expansive provision.
12:58
O Allah, a provision like the provision of Ibn 'Awf.
13:01
And a share like the share of 'Urwah ibn al-Ja'd.
13:04
O Allah, give us and do not withhold from us.
13:07
O Allah, give us and do not withhold from us.

13:16
O Generous.
13:19
O Generous.
13:22
O Generous.
13:25
Combine for us the good of this world and the Hereafter.
13:28
O Lord of the worlds.
13:31
O Allah, You are the most righteous of the righteous.
13:34
You are the most generous of the generous.
13:37
And You are the Lord of the worlds.
13:40
Bestow upon our deceased parents Your forgiveness and mercy.
13:43
O Allah, forgive them; O Allah, have mercy upon them.
13:46
O Allah, grant them well-being; O Allah, pardon them.
13:49
O Allah, fill their graves with light.
13:52
And with joy and happiness.
13:55
O Allah, reconnect what was severed for them.
13:58
O Allah, brighten their faces.
14:01
And answer our supplications for them.
14:04
And let them benefit from our prayers and our hope.
14:07
O Allah, whoever among them was in distress,
14:10
Relieve them of that distress.
14:13
And whoever among them was in hardship, relieve them of that hardship.
14:16
And whoever among them was at a certain level,
14:19
Raise them to a level higher than it, O Lord of the worlds.
14:22
O Allah, our deceased parents,
14:27
Take charge of them with Your mercy.
14:30
And look upon them with the eye of Your care.
14:33
O Allah, O Allah, O Allah.
14:36
Let them benefit from our prayers and our supplications.
14:40
And grant us the ability to be dutiful to them, both in life and in death,
14:43
O Lord of the worlds.
14:46
O Allah, bless the lives of our living parents.
14:50
O Allah, grant us the ability to be dutiful to them.
14:53

15:11
O Allah, make us happy through their prayers for us.

15:20
O Allah, forgive our shortcomings toward them.
15:23
O Allah, forgive our shortcomings toward them.
15:26
And provide us with children who will be dutiful to us,
15:29
O Lord of the worlds.
15:32
O Allah, we seek refuge in You from a heart that does not humble itself.
15:35
And a soul that is never satisfied.
15:38
And an eye that does not shed tears, and a supplication that is not raised.
15:41
We seek refuge in You, O Allah, from these four.
15:44
O You who are powerful over all things.
15:47
O You whom nothing can defeat.
15:50
O First, before all things.
15:53
And Last, after all things.
15:56
And Manifest, above all things.
15:59
And Hidden, beneath all things.
16:02
O You, like unto whom there is nothing.
16:05
And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
16:08
O Allah, [protect] all the oppressed Muslims.
16:11
In the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
16:14
O Allah, grant security to their prayers and their standing in worship.
16:17
[Protect] the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its courtyards.
16:20
O Lord of the worlds.
16:23
And grant us prayer therein before we die.
16:26
Gladden our eyes with prayer therein before we die,
16:29
O Lord of the worlds.
16:32
O Allah, let us live upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah.
16:35
O Turner of hearts,
16:38
Keep our hearts firm upon Your religion.
16:41
O Controller of hearts.
16:44
O Allah, let us live upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah.
16:47
And cause us to die upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah.
16:50
And resurrect us upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah.
16:53
And make our final words
16:56
In this world: "There is no god but Allah."
16:59
Until we meet You as believers,
17:02
Unchanged,
17:05
And while You are pleased with us, O Lord of the worlds.
17:08
O Allah, You are the best of witnesses.
17:11
O You who descend to the lowest heaven
17:14
When the last third of the night remains.
17:17
We call You to witness, O Allah,
17:20
And we call Your angels and the bearers of Your Throne to witness,
17:23
That we love You and we love Your Prophet,
17:26
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
17:29
And we love his Companions and his relatives,
17:32
And his wives and his family.
17:35
O Lord, our deeds are few.
17:38
Our provision is meager.
17:41
And our fasting is flawed.
17:44
O Allah, it has reached us
17:47
That You reward love by raising [the lover]
17:50
To the stations of the beloved.
17:53
O Allah.
17:59
We call You to witness that we love Your Prophet,
18:02
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
18:05
So do not separate us from him in the Hereafter.
18:09
O Allah, these hearts
18:12
Love Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali.
18:15
O Allah, place us in their company.
18:18
O Allah, admit us where they are admitted.
18:21
O Allah, gather us with the noble ones
18:24
From the Companions of the Messenger of Allah,
18:27
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
18:30
O Allah, delight our eyes by seeing them.
18:33
O Allah, let our bodies enjoy
18:36
Their company in the abode of Your pleasure.
18:39
O Lord of the worlds.
18:42
O Lord of the worlds.
18:45
O Allah, we ask You and we hope in You,
18:48
And we call upon You and we seek a means of approach to You,
18:51
With the pleading of children and the persistence of the needy,
18:54
The persistence of the slaves,
18:57
The children of the poor slaves,
19:00
The children of the poor,
19:04
That You protect us from deprivation in Ramadan.
19:07
That You protect us from loss in Ramadan.
19:10
That You protect us from deficiency in Ramadan.
19:13
Meet our misdeeds with Your benevolence.
19:16
And our little with Your abundance.
19:19
O Allah, give us what You are worthy of,
19:22
Even if we are not worthy of it.
19:25
We came to You with our attributes,
19:28
So receive us with Your attributes, O Lord of the worlds.
19:31
O Allah, reward the mothers,
19:34
And the wives and the sisters,
19:37
With the best of rewards on our behalf.
19:40
O Allah, whatever rewards they missed while preparing the meals,
19:43
O Allah, grant them the highest of returns.
19:46
O Allah, bless their handiwork.
19:49
O Allah, bless their hands.
19:52
O Allah, multiply their reward.
19:55
O Allah, multiply their reward,
19:58
O Lord of the worlds.
20:01
Our God and our Master,
20:04
Whatever good we missed asking You for,
20:07
Grant it to us.
20:10
And we pray to You for it.
20:13
So grant it to us, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer.
20:16
O Allah, be with our sick.
20:19
O Allah, [be with] all our sick.
20:22
O Allah, heal those suffering from cancer.
20:25
O Allah, heal every patient whose cure has proven difficult for the physician.
20:31
Suffice them with Your cure, instead of the cure of anyone else.
20:34
And with Your well-being, instead of the well-being of anyone else.
20:37
O Allah, encompass this gathering with Your mercy.
20:40
And cover them with Your pardon and well-being.
20:43
And make us among Your chosen servants, O Lord of the worlds.
20:48
O Allah, forgive whoever founded this mosque and built it,
20:52
And prayed in it, and extended a hand of goodness toward it, O Lord of the worlds.
20:57
O Allah, we seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath,
21:01
And in Your pardon from Your punishment, and in You from You; we cannot praise You enough.
21:07
Praise be to Allah in the beginning and the end.
21:10
Praise be to Allah in times of ease and adversity.
21:13
Praise be to Allah in times of blessing and trial.
21:17
O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad,
21:22
And upon all his family and Companions.
