What is recommended to recite on Laylatul Qadr?

Question

I would like to know specific duas etc and please state the source they're from.

Answer 1

I was always told the best thing to recite on Laylatul Qadr was the Quran.
I try to read that most.

Also i dont know anything straight of my head, but dua's that praise Allah, with mention of his names, and seeking forgiveness.
remember that the last ten days are about salvation from the hell fire.

You could read ayat Al-Qursi, the last 2 ayas of Surah al-Buqarah. Surah al-Hashir
I think the most important thing is that you have intention to do good on that night and would read whatever you had at hand and thought was good at that time.

May Allah accept and answer you Dua. Ameen

No1 is many times going on with of as properly Allah. permit me repeat, no human is many times going on with of on a similar time as that's. besides the undeniable fact that, there that's extra in all probability to be on impressive numbered days. So, to be on the sturdy area.. in the excellent ten days of ramadan, that's friendly in case you pray to Allah/ in the night time/ make various dua/ properly deeds and somewhat some others..

Answer 4

Ubaadah bin Saamit (Radhiallaho anho) reports that he asked the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) about "Laylatul Qadr". He replied: "It is in Ramadhan, during the last ten days, on the unevenly numbered nights, either the 21st 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th or the last night of Ramadhan. Whosoever stands in "Ibaadah" on this night, with sincere faith and with genuine hopes of gaining reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. Among the signs of this night is that it is a serene, quiet, shining night, neither hot, nor cold but temperate as if a moon is shining clear, and no meteors are shot at the "Shayateen" on that night; it lasts until the break of the dawn. Another sign is that at morn, the sun rises without any radiant beams of light, appearing rather like the moon in it's fullness. On that day, Allah prohibits the "Shayateen" from rising up with the sun."

Aaisha (RadhiAllaho anha) reports: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), should I find myself the "Laylatul Qadr", hat shall I pray. The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) replied: say, Allaahumma innaka afuwwun tohibbu al'afwa fa'fu anna "O Allah, Thou art the One who grants pardon for sins. Thou lovest to pardon, so O pardon me."

Duah for Laylatul Qadr.

In the Name of Almighty Allah
Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All Praise and all Glory belongs Only to Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala.
May Almighty Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Beloved Nabee Muhammad
Ibn Abdullah Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam. I pray to Almighty Allah, the Lord
of Mercy and Beneficence, to accept this sincere effort and contribution
from a humble servant and to make it a means for the salvation and for the
acceptance of our Taubah on the Great and Most Holy Night of Laylatul Qadr.

"O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! On this Great and Holy Night of Laylatul Qadr, we beg
of Thee in complete humility and humbleness. O Most Merciful Allah! The
Compassionate, the Merciful, the Giver of protection to those who seek it,
Grantor of Taubah, the Solace of the fear-stricken, the Helper of the
helpless, the Support of one who is without any support, the Resource of the
resourceless, Protector of the weak, Treasure of the poor and the Greatest
Source of hope; Saviour of the doomed, the Benefactor, the Beneficent, the
Gracious, the Almighty, the Effulgent, - One before whom the darkness of the
night, the brightness of the day, the rays of the sun and moon, the
pattering of trees and the humming of streams bow in reverence."

"O Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala! On this Most Holy and Auspicious Night
of Mercy, we humbly beseech You and You Alone for every facility and
convenience with Your eternal pleasure and approval. O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen!
You Alone are Gafoorroor Raheem and You Alone are our well wisher and
helper. You Alone are the Protector of our children and families."

"O Almighty Allah Azza Wajjal! On this most Holy Night of Laylatul Qadr, we
solemnly and truthfully affirm that there is no one worthy of worship except
You and that Nabee Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam is Your
Beloved Messenger and Gataman Nabee'een whom You sent to this Doonya as a
great blessing to all the creatures. We bear witness that our Beloved Nabee
Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam delivered Your Message successfully and led
humanity out of darkness and into the light and Noor of the Most Holy and
Glorious Qur'an and onto the Path of Seerathul Mustaqeem."

"O Almighty Rabbul Ala'meen! O You Infinite! O You who hears and sees all
things! Bestow Thy special mercy on our Beloved Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi
Wasallam and on the descendants of our Noble Chief Muhammad Sallallahoo
Alayhi Wasallam just as Thou did bless Nabee Ebrahim Alayhis Salatu Wasallam
and his descendants; verily Thou art the Praiseworthy and the Glorious."

"O Almighty and Exalted Allah Azza Wajjal! The Leveller of stretched layers
of earth, Creator of high skies and the Moulder of hearts on the pattern of

prophethood, opener of avenues of spiritual perfection which had been
closed, bold and truthful exponent of Islam, one who safeguarded Thy
revelations and fully observed the covenants made to Thee."

destitute who is longing for protection, I crave Thee like the craving of a
poor beggar or helpless blind man and I beg Thee for forgiveness on this

Aghirah! O Most Merciful and Generous One! You have bestowed so many
blessings upon us and yet we are unable to thank You adequately for any of
them."

"O Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala! Protect us from poverty and
destitution, save us from ignominy of being indebted and bless us with a
life of beneficial knowledge, Imaan, Taqwa, Yaqeen, health, happiness and
prosperity. O Almighty Allah Azza Wajjal! We are assembled on this Most Holy
Night of Laylatul Qadr and we stand as beggars under the shadow of Your
Mercy. We are Your obedient slaves and we are begging at Your Door of Taubah
and repentance. Accept our Fasting, accept our Ibadah and forgive our sins
and all our shortcomings."

"O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! The Ummah of Your Beloved Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi
Wasallam are presenting their prayers on this Great Night of Glory and
begging at Your door of Taubah for Your forgiveness in the hope that You
will Insha'Allah accept them. You have no partner and You Alone are
Gafooroor Raheem." O Almighty Creator of the heavens and the earth! The
Ummah of Your Beloved Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam have assembled on
this Holy Night begging for Your Mercy and Muhabbat with the hope that our
fasting and our prayers will be accepted and that our sins will be

always enjoin that which is right and forbid that which is evil, and include
us among those of Your favoured bondsmen who have accepted Your Din
sincerely."

"O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! You Alone are Pure and Flawless. We cannot count the
favours, the blessings and the Baraka'h that You have bestowed upon us, and
we cannot thank You adequately enough for Your Mercy, Your Muhabbat and Your
Kindness. You are Most Merciful, Most Kind and You respond to the call of
those who seek Your Grace."

"O Most Merciful Almighty Allah Jallah Wa'ala! Grant us and bless us with
tranquility and security, and bless us with the courage and capacity to obey
You totally and completely. Grant us ilm so that we can for always live in
accordance with the Sunnah and the Seerah of Your Beloved Nabee Muhammad

hearts, the light of our eyes and the means of relieving our grief and
sorrows."

in You from evil thoughts which may arise in our hearts, from deterioration
in works we are engaged in and from every calamity and hardship."

"O Most Merciful Allah! Grant Your Rah'mah and forgiveness on the Ummah of
Your Beloved Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam in the same way as You

Wasallam and Bibi Hawa Radi'allahu Ta'ala Anhuma. We are Your obedient
slaves and we beg You in complete humility and humbleness at the Door of
Your Bounty and Mercy on this Great Night of Forgiveness and Mercy."

"O Most Merciful and Supreme Conveyor of hearts! We humbly seek Your refuge
from such wealth and knowledge which is of no avail in the Aghirah, from
actions which are not acceptable to You, from a heart which is remiss in
remembering You, from worldliness in which greed and ego is insurmountable
and from a supplication which is not approved by You."

"O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! Bless us with the capacity to maintain our faculty to
listen, to comprehend and to see, and fill our hearts with Your Noor so that
we can forever carry the banner of: "La Illah Illalahoo Muhammadur
Rasoolullahi Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam"

Angels."

who believe. O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! We cannot comprehend the Praises due
exclusively to Thee. Thou art as Thou has praised Thyself in Thy Most Holy
and Glorious Qur'an."

excellence and highest rank and honour in Thy Majestic Court to Your Beloved
Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam. Make his intercession the most acceptable
to Thee. O Almighty Allah! Grant him the best recompense on our behalf which
may have been granted to a prophet on behalf of his Ummah and grant a good
recompense to all the prophets Alayhim Salatu Wasallam. All Praise is due
only to Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala."

and Thy Muhabbat upon our Beloved Nabee Muhammad Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam

Azza Wajjal! Thou art indeed Allah and there is no partner with Thee; I beg
of Thee that Thou be pleased to Bestow Thy Special Mercy, Muhabbat, and
Blessings on Your obedient servant Muhammad Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam, his
family, his illustrious companions and upon his Ummah."

"O Thou Holy and Unblemished Creator of Noor! I beg of Thee an apprehension
of the Aghirah which may effectively prevent the Muslim Ummah from
committing sins so that we may render obedience to Thee in a way that would
entitle us to receive Thy Pleasure, so that we may offer penitence before
Thee earnestly, so that we may be impelled to do acts of humanity by
profound regard for Thee, so that we may rely purely on Thee for all things
and anticipate the best from Thee. O Almighty Allah! You Alone are Gafooroor
Raheem."

"O Ya Rabbal Al'meen! Bless our Beloved Nabee Muhammad Sallallahoo Alayhi
Wasallam who turned darkness into light by his splendour. O Merciful Allah!

Thy protection from Jahannum, the trials of the Qabir, from the evils of
Dajjal, from the ordeals of life and death and from iniquity and being

hypocrisy, my actions of show, my tongue of falsehood, my eyes of immorality

heart. O Ya Rabbal Ala'meen! Grant me peace by Thy Power, admit me to Thy
Mercy, make me devote my life to worshipping Thee, and my life to righteous
deeds and actions and grant me Janna'h as recompense of it all."
