Allah hears those who praise Him.
0:03
O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise in abundance.
0:06
There is no deity but Allah.
0:11
There is no deity but Allah.
0:14
And there is no power and no strength
0:16
except by Allah.
0:18
There is no deity but Allah.
0:20
And there is no reliance except in Allah.
0:24
There is no deity but Allah.
0:26
And there is no trust except in Allah.
0:30
There is no deity but Allah, and there is no certainty except in Allah; there is no deity but Allah alone, He fulfilled His promise, aided His servant, honored His soldiers, and defeated the confederates alone.
0:47
There is no deity but Allah, the Sovereign of all dominion; He gives dominion to whom He wills and takes it away from whom He wills, He honors whom He wills and humbles whom He wills; in His hand is all good, and He is over all things competent.
1:07
He causes the night to enter the day and the day to enter the night, He brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living, and He provides for whom He wills without account.
1:22
There is no deity but Allah; the heaven He constructed, the earth He spread out, and the soul He proportioned, then inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness.
1:36
There is no deity but Allah; He causes laughter and weeping, brings happiness and misery, creates and provides, causes death and gives life, and created the two mates, the male and the female.
1:51
O Allah, to You belongs praise for every blessing You have bestowed upon us, whether in the past or the present, private or public, secret or open; to You belongs all praise.
2:05
To You belongs all gratitude, and to You belongs all glory; praise be to You until You are pleased, when You are pleased, and after You are pleased.
2:14
Praise be to Allah, as much as the number of His creation, the pleasure of His Self, the weight of His Throne, and the ink of His words.
2:22
Praise be to Allah, as much as what He has created, and praise be to Allah for what He will create.
2:29
Praise be to Allah for what is in the earth and what is in the heavens.
2:35
Praise be to Allah, as much as what His Book has enumerated.
2:39
Praise be to Allah for what His Book has enumerated.
2:43
Praise be to Allah, as much as everything.
2:47
Praise be to Allah for everything.
2:51
O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim among the worlds; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.
3:05
O Allah, guide us among those You have guided, grant us well-being among those You have granted well-being, and take us into Your care among those You have taken into Your care.
3:12
Bless for us what You have given, and protect us and avert from us the evil of what You have decreed.
3:18
For You decree and none can decree against You; indeed, he whom You take as an ally is never humiliated, and he whom You take as an enemy is never honored; blessed are You, our Lord, and exalted.
3:29
We seek Your forgiveness, O Allah, for all sins and transgressions, and we repent to You.
3:35
O Allah, we seek Your forgiveness, so forgive us; we seek Your guidance, so guide us; we seek Your provision, so provide for us; and we seek Your covering, so cover us.
3:47
O Allah, we ask of You, so grant us.
3:51
O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.
3:53
O Possessor of Greatness and Sovereignty.
3:56
O He who created and proportioned, and who determined and guided.
3:59
And who gave everything its creation, then guided it.
4:04
O Allah, O Allah, O Allah.
4:08
Envelop us in Your pardon and grace, O Allah.
4:12
O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon us.
4:17
O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon us.
4:21
O Allah, make our desire, our longing, and our supplication,
4:27
and our persistence in the nights of the even-numbered days like the nights of the odd-numbered days, or even greater.
4:32
O Allah, we have asked of a Generous One.
4:37
We have requested of a Great One, and we have hoped in a Mighty One, O Allah.
4:42
O Allah, do not turn us away except as honored ones.
4:46
And do not turn us away except as those who are connected to You.
4:49
O Lord of the worlds.
4:52
O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.
4:55
O Responder to those who ask.
4:57
O Fulfiller of the needs of those who seek.
4:59
O Lover of those who persist in supplication.
5:06
We ask You on this noble night
5:09
to set our necks free.
5:11
O Allah, set our necks free.
5:14
And decree our salvation.
5:16
O Allah, ordain our deliverance.
5:18
And make our security [certain].
5:20
O Allah, we ask You for a liberation
5:23
by which You set necks free.
5:25
And a salvation by which You save us from the Fire.
5:29
O Lord of the worlds.
5:31
Our God, You created us.
5:33
And You know us better than we know ourselves.
5:35
We have no endurance for the Fire.
5:39
We have no endurance for the Fire.
5:41
O Allah, place a distance between us
5:43
and it, as You have placed a distance between the East and the West.
5:47
O Allah, we seek to repel the Fire through You.
5:51
O Allah, we seek to repel the Fire through You.
5:55
And we seek refuge in Your Countenance from the Fire.
5:59
And from that which brings one closer to the Fire.
6:01
O our Lord.
6:03
Decree our salvation.
6:05
And our security.
6:07
And our protection.
6:09
And our liberation.
6:11
Save our necks.
6:13
And the necks of our fathers.
6:15
And the necks of our mothers.
6:17
And the necks of our spouses.
6:19
And our descendants.
6:21
And our brothers.
6:23
And our sisters.
6:25
And our neighbors.
6:27
And those who have done good to us.
6:29
And those who have bestowed upon us
6:31
a kindness.
6:33
And those who have asked us for supplication.
6:35
And those who have taught us.
6:37
And those who have benefited us.
6:39
And those who have interceded for us.
6:41
And those who have covered our faults.
6:43
And those who have advised us.
6:45
O Allah, set our necks free.
6:47
O Allah, set our necks free.
6:53
We are persistent in our asking of You.
6:55
O our Lord.
6:57
O He who is not annoyed
6:59
by the persistence of those who persist.
7:01
O He who does not turn away those who ask.
7:03
O He who does not grow weary
7:05
of those who ask.
7:07
O He from whom are not hidden
7:09
the languages.
7:11
And for whom are not confused
7:13
the dialects.
7:45
May it not be our lot
7:47
to witness the divisions [of spoils]
7:49
and be absent from the gains.
7:51
O Allah, make our share
7:53
abundant.
7:55
And our provision great.
7:57
And our reward magnificent.
7:59
We seek Your Noble Countenance.
8:01
We seek Your Noble Countenance.
8:03
He who seeks You is never disappointed.
8:05
He who asks of You is never turned away.
8:07
He who asks of You is never turned away.
8:09
O Allah, treat us
8:11
as You treat those [whom You love].
8:43
O Allah, we are
8:45
in a state that is not a harmful distress,
8:47
nor a misleading trial.
8:49
O Allah.
8:51
O Allah, we ask You
8:53
for three things:
8:55
that You answer our requests,
8:57
that You avert from us evil
8:59
of the same magnitude,
9:01
and that You store up for us in the Hereafter
9:03
something better than that.
9:05
O Allah, You are able to gather
9:07
all of this.
9:09
Gather it for us, O Lord of the worlds.
9:11
Grant us of Your fear that which will stand between us and Your disobedience.
9:15
And of Your obedience that which will bring us to Your Paradise.
9:19
And of certainty that which will make the calamities of the world easy for us.
9:24
O Allah, let us enjoy our hearing,
9:27
our sight, and our strength
9:30
for as long as You keep us alive.
9:32
And make that the inheritor of us.
9:34
And let our vengeance be upon those who have wronged us.
9:37
And grant us victory over those who have shown us enmity.
9:40
And do not make our calamity in our religion.
9:43
And do not make the world our greatest concern,
9:46
nor the limit of our knowledge,
9:49
nor the end of our goal,
9:51
nor our destination the Fire.
9:53
And make Paradise our home and our abode.
9:57
O Allah, reunite us in Paradise with our parents.
10:02
And reunite us in Paradise with our spouses and our descendants.
10:06
O Allah, just as You have gathered us with our family
10:10
and our loved ones in this world,
10:12
gather us with them in the Hereafter,
10:15
never to be separated.
10:18
Never to be separated.
10:20
O Allah, we ask You to gather us with them
10:23
on thrones, facing one another,
10:25
honored and pleased, O Lord of the worlds.
10:29
We ask You, O Allah,
10:31
despite our meager deeds,
10:33
and our meager provisions,
10:35
we ask You for the delight of looking upon Your Countenance,
10:38
and the longing to meet You,
10:41
without a harmful distress,
10:44
nor a misleading trial.
10:46
O Allah, even if our deeds are few,
10:49
we have firmly set our hearts and consciences
10:51
upon "There is no deity but Allah."
10:55
It has reached us from Your Prophet that it is a word that nothing can outweigh.
10:59
O Allah, our plea and our need,
11:02
we present them to You, placing them
11:05
before our approach to You.
11:07
There is no deity but Allah.
11:10
O Allah, accept from us,
11:13
and multiply for us,
11:14
and reward us with the best of what You reward people
11:17
for their deeds.
11:19
O Allah, make our share great,
11:22
and our portion magnificent.
11:24
We are covetous of Your bounty,
11:26
content with what You have.
11:29
Despite our meager provisions and weak deeds,
11:33
You are worthy to be hoped for in Your Noble Countenance,
11:37
at the hands of Your generosity,
11:39
and the most noble of countenances is Your Countenance.
11:41
O Allah, do not turn us away,
11:44
and do not disappoint our hope,
11:47
and do not drive us away from Your door.
11:50
Accept us as You accept the most righteous of worshippers,
11:54
and the best of those who supplicate.
11:56
O our Lord,
11:58
You have made Yourself known to us,
12:00
and You said, and Your word is the truth:
12:02
"Call upon Me; I will respond to you."
12:04
And You said, and Your word is the truth:
12:06
“And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.” (2:186)
12:09
"Indeed, I am near."
12:11
O Near One,
12:14
O Responder,
12:16
O You who hear all supplications.
12:19
O You who accepts all hopes.
12:23
O You who accepts all hopes.
12:26
O Eraser of sins.
12:29
O Exalter of ranks.
12:32
O Possessor of the Glorious Throne.
12:35
O Allah, do not let our gathering disperse without Your forgiveness.
12:37
save that He has already inscribed our names.
12:39
Among the register of the blessed.
12:41
Those who shall enter Paradise.
12:43
without envy
12:45
O Allah, we ask You.
12:47
May there not be a barrier between us
12:49
And there is no barrier between you and your gardens except death.
12:52
O Lord of all the worlds.
12:55
O Allah, we truly love You.
12:57
So He loved us.
12:58
And we yearn to meet You.
13:00
So he longed for our meeting.
13:02
O Allah, we truly yearn for Your nearness.
13:04
So He loved our proximity.
13:06
O Allah, prepare us.
13:08
through an abundance of worship.
13:10
And we have prepared ourselves for the increase.
13:12
And make us among those who possess Your closeness and protection.
13:14
And make us among those who are the recipients of Your special care.
13:17
And make us among those who are under Your care.
13:20
Purify our hearts.
13:21
Except out of love for You.
13:23
And our reliance is upon You.
13:25
And certainty in You.
13:26
O Lord of all that exists.
13:28
O Allah, increase us in faith.
13:30
And may it not diminish us.
13:31
And increase us in certainty.
13:33
And let it not be said that we are lacking.
13:34
O Allah, fill our hearts.
13:36
through your love for Him.
13:37
And occupy our limbs [in Your service].
13:39
through obedience to You.
13:40
And make the Magnificent Qur'an
13:43
Our companion.
13:44
And our companion
13:45
And our companion
13:47
And our companion.
13:48
And He granted us enjoyment.
13:49
And He increased us.
13:50
And our light
13:52
And our richness lies in Him.
13:53
And our honor.
13:54
And He has honored us.
13:55
O Allah, grant us the benefit of him.
13:57
O Lord of all the worlds.
14:00
And unveil for us its truths.
14:02
And its lights.
14:03
And grant us the ability to contemplate its meanings.
14:05
and acting upon it.
14:06
O Allah, we ask You.
14:08
Following the Sunnah of your Prophet.
14:10
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
14:13
O Allah, grant us success.
14:14
And we have directed [our path] toward the truth.
14:16
And our mother
14:17
And we stood guard.
14:18
And we preserved it.
14:19
And we are all.
14:20
And save us.
14:21
And elevate us.
14:22
And we gave preference to others over ourselves.
14:24
And He granted us victory.
14:25
And all of us
14:26
And do not let it be a burden upon us.
14:28
O Allah, we are indeed in need of You.
14:30
So grant us sufficiency.
14:31
And the weak among them.
14:32
So strengthen us.
14:33
and misguidance
14:34
So He guided us.
14:35
O Allah, we seek Your guidance.
14:37
And we ask You to increase us.
14:39
So give us.
14:40
And do not withhold.
14:41
We have arrived.
14:42
And do not sever [ties of kinship].
14:43
O Allah, elevate us.
14:45
And raise
14:46
O Allah, we are all Yours.
14:47
In all matters.
14:49
O Lord of all the worlds.
14:51
O Allah, we seek refuge in You.
14:52
O Allah, we seek refuge in You.
14:53
From the whisperings of Satan.
14:54
Satan
14:55
and undermining it.
14:56
We seek refuge in You.
14:57
From the pre-dawn hours
14:58
The sorcerers
14:59
And we seek refuge in You.
15:00
Whoever causes harm
15:01
The devils
15:02
And we seek refuge in You.
15:03
from the evil of
15:04
The wicked ones
15:05
And among the stratagems of
15:06
The wicked.
15:07
We seek refuge in You.
15:08
from the evil of
15:09
Night-comers
15:10
The night
15:11
And the calamities.
15:12
The daytime.
15:13
O Allah, whoever seeks strength from You, grant them strength.
15:14
It is incumbent upon us.
15:15
other than You
15:16
For we
15:17
We seek strength.
15:18
By means of it.
15:19
upon him.
15:20
And we seek the aid of Allah.
15:51
And we set forth
15:52
Our captives
15:53
And may He nurture our young ones.
15:54
And guide us.
15:55
astray
15:56
We have
15:57
We have received
15:58
To you.
15:59
In response to that.
16:00
Beautifully.
16:01
O Lord of all that exists.
16:02
O our Lord.
16:03
Cast it.
16:04
within our hearts
16:05
Lights

Guidance
16:07
O Allah.
16:08
Help us.
16:09
During the month of Ramadan.
16:10
to abandon [the sin]
16:11
From every
16:12
Sin
16:13
And a sin
16:14
And they acted accordingly.
16:15
O Lord of all the worlds.
16:16
And write down
16:17
We have
16:18
Repentance
16:19
sincere repentance
16:20
O Lord of all the worlds.
16:22
Your question is about the life [of the Prophet, peace be upon him].
16:23
The pure and pristine.
16:24
And a carcass.
16:25
Equality
16:26
And the ultimate return is to Allah.
16:27
Other than that.
16:28
A repository.
16:29
And neither
16:30
So clarify.
16:31
O Allah.
16:32
Cover our faults.
16:33
And it is not
16:34
It exposes
16:35
O Allah.
16:36
Cover our faults.
16:37
And neither
16:38
It exposes
16:39
O Allah.
16:40
Cover our faults.
16:42
And neither
16:43
It exposes
16:44
O Oft-Forgiving.
16:45
Sins
16:46
O Veiler of faults.
16:47
The flaws
16:48
O Oft-Forgiving.
16:49
Sins
16:50
O Allah.
16:51
Forgive us.
16:52
And have mercy upon us.
16:53
And he overlooked it.
16:54
concerning us
16:55
And forgive us.
16:56
O Allah.
16:57
You are indeed
16:58
Pardon
16:59
You love
17:00
Pardoning
17:01
So, pardon.
17:02
On our behalf.
17:03
O our Lord.
17:04
In accordance with that.
17:05
Our children
17:06
And our daughters
17:07
And our brothers
17:08
And our sisters
17:09
The students of knowledge.
17:10
O Allah.
17:11
Aim for correctness and moderation.
17:12
Their pens.
17:13
O Allah.
17:14
Guide aright.
17:15
Their answers.
17:16
O Allah.
17:17
Elevate.
17:18
Their ranks.
17:19
O Allah.
17:20
Grant them success.
17:21
And take.
17:22
Them by their forelocks.
17:23
Toward righteousness.
17:24
And piety.
17:25
And toward that which You love.
17:26
Of deeds.
17:27
And are pleased with.
17:28
O Allah.
17:29
Grant success.
17:30
To the graduates.
17:31
And prepare.
17:32
For them.
17:33
Suitable.
17:34
Employment.
17:35
And provide them.
17:36
With provision.
17:37
That is wholesome.
17:38
O Allah.
17:39
Grant marriage.
17:40
To the unmarried.
17:41
O Allah.
17:42
Grant marriage.
17:43
To the unmarried.
17:44
O Allah.
17:45
Grant marriage.
17:46
To the unmarried.
17:47
O Allah.
17:48
O Allah.
17:49
Grant marriage.
17:50
To the unmarried.
17:51
O Allah.
17:52
Grant marriage.
18:17
O Allah, answer their prayers and fulfill their hopes; O Allah, grant them health in their bodies so that they may glorify You much and remember You much.
18:31
O Allah, for those we have lost among our brothers, sisters, and parents—O Allah, those we have lost during this pandemic and otherwise.
18:41
We ask You to bestow upon them mercy and forgiveness.
18:46
O Allah, forgive them, have mercy on them, grant them well-being, and pardon them; O Allah, honor their final abode, O Allah, honor their final abode.
18:55
O Allah, expand their place of entry; O Allah, make what they have moved toward better than what they have left behind; replace their homes with better homes.
19:05
And their state with a better state, O Lord of the worlds.
19:10
O Allah, record for them, upon their passing, martyrdom and elevation, O Lord of the worlds.
19:17
O Allah, forgive our fathers and mothers; O Allah, overlook their shortcomings; O Allah, grant us the ability to be dutiful to them, whether they are alive or dead, our God.
19:27
We ask You to have mercy on them as they had mercy on us, and to be tender toward them as they were tender toward us.
19:34
And to be kind to them as they were kind to us.
19:38
In this position of inability to repay them, we ask You to take charge of rewarding them, O Allah.
19:46
And to take charge of recompensing them, O Allah; we have no power to fully repay their kindness.
19:53
O Allah, then reward them from Yourself, give them from Yourself, and take charge of rewarding them on our behalf, O Most Generous of the generous.
20:04
O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon us; O Allah, do not let us leave Ramadan until You have forgiven us.
20:12
And pardoned us, and granted us forgiveness, and raised us in the ranks of Paradise.
