“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan, you should say the following prayer. ‘O Allah, I seek refuge with the glory of Your honorable face against the condition in which the month of Ramadan will pass or this night will dawn while I may have committed sins or such deeds for which I will deserve your punishment.’”

“During the first night of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan, recite this prayer. ‘O the One, (You have the power) to allow the night to penetrate into the day and the day to penetrate into the night. (You are) the One who brings out the living from the dead and brings the dead out of the living. O Provider of sustenance to whomever He wants without keeping any account. O Allah, the Beneficent, O Allah, O Merciful, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, You have all the beautiful names, the most high examples, the greatness and bounties. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to your cause). I appeal before You to list my name in this night with the people of salvation, my spirit with the martyrs, my good deeds in ‘Illiyin (high position), and forgive my sins. O Allah, grant me a certainty that can remain in my heart, and a belief that can remove my doubts. O Allah, make me happy with what You have granted me for my share. Grant me good in this world and in the next life, and protect me against the burning fire. O Allah, grant me in this night the opportunity to speak of You, to thank You, be interested to come to You with repentance, and grant me the kind of good opportunity with which You granted success to Muhammad and Ale (family of) Muhammad (SAW).’” “During the second night say this prayer. ‘O the One who separates the day from the night and then we are in the dark. O the One (it is You) who draws the sun in its place by his measures. O (Allah You are) Majestic, O all knowing, O the One who has measured the distance of journey of the moon until it seems like an old twig. O light of lights, O aim of all interests, O provider of all bounties, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O Holy, O the One, O the One only, O the single One, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, You possess all beautiful names. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) . . . read to the end the prayer mentioned above.’” “During the third night say the following prayer. ‘O Lord of the night of destiny, (it is You) who has made it better than one thousand months.

O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O Guardian, O Allah, O the Inventor, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, (You are the one who) possesses all beautiful names, high examples, greatness and bounties. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) and list my name in this night with the people of salvation. Please list my spirit with the martyrs, my good deeds in ‘Illiyin (high position), and forgive my sins. O Allah, grant me a certainty that can remain in my heart, a belief that can remove my doubts and make me be happy with whatever sustenance You have granted to me, and grant me good in this life and in the next life. Protect me against the burning fire. Grant me in this night the opportunity to speak of You, thank You and become interested to come to You, repent before You, and grant me the opportunity with which You granted success to Muhammad and Ale (family of) Muhammad (SAW).”

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that every night in the month of Ramadan you should say this prayer. ‘O Allah, I appeal before You in the case of whatever You decide and measure of the inevitable issues of the matters of wisdom, of the destiny that does not change or alter, to list my name among those who perform Hajj of Your respected House, with virtuous Hajj, expatiated wickedness, forgiven sins and appreciated efforts. O Allah, I appeal before You, in the case of whatever You decide and measure of the inevitable issues of the matters of wisdom, during the night of destiny, which does not change or alter, to grant me long life, increased sustenance, and take me in the service of Your religion and do not replace me with others.’”

“The virtuous ones, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have said the following that you should repeat this prayer during the twenty-third night of the month of Ramadan, while in prostration, standing, sitting and in all conditions and during the whole month if you can or whenever you remember in your lifetime. After you praise Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, and ask, O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause). You should say, ‘O Allah, for the person who possesses Your authority, so and so Imam (al-Hujjah ibn al-Hassan) be in this hour and every hour, a guardian, protector, supporter, guide, leader, and helper (and an eye) until You settle him on Your earth with obedience and grant him comfort for a long time.’” “During the fourth night, say this prayer: £ 0 the One who opens up the morning and makes the night calm and the sun and moon for calculation (of time) (I praise You). O Majestic, O all Knowing, O Generous, O Benevolent, O Powerful, O Resourceful, O Possessor of extra bounties, gifts, kingdom and honor, O Glorious and Honorable, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O the only One, O the One alone, O Allah, O Apparent, O Hidden, O Living, O Lord, no one deserves worship except You.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that during the last night of the month of Ramadan, say this prayer. ‘O Allah, this is the month of Ramadan when You revealed the Holy Quran, and now it has ended. I seek refuge with Your honorable face, against my remaining in a condition, O Lord, that this night ends up with dawn or the month of Ramadan ends up, but You will have (in record) against me consequences (of my deeds) or sins for which You want to punish me on the day I am brought in your presence.’”

"O Allah, indeed You said in Your revealed Book: 'The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Qur'an.' And this is the month of Ramadan, and it has passed. So I ask You by Your Noble Face and Your complete words, if there remains a sin upon me that You have not forgiven or that You wish to punish me for, or if You wish to hold me accountable for it, let not the dawn of this night arise nor the month conclude, except that You have forgiven me, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
O Allah, to You belongs all praise with all forms of praise, the first and the last, that which You have said to Yourself from it, and that which the creatures have said, the praising, striving, counted, and those who glorify You and give thanks to You, those whom You have helped in fulfilling Your rights from the types of Your creation, from the angels, the close ones, the prophets, the messengers, and the various speaking beings and those who glorify You from all the worlds, for You have allowed us to reach the month of Ramadan, and upon us are Your blessings, and with us is Your share, grace, and manifestation of Your bounty.
So for that, to You belongs the utmost everlasting, constant, eternal, and infinite praise, which does not cease for eternity. All praise is for You, O Glorious, who has aided us in fulfilling its fasting and praying, and in whatever righteousness, gratitude, or remembrance was in it from us. O Allah, accept it from us with the best of acceptance, pardon, forgiveness, and overlooking, and grant us the pleasure that brings us all good that we seek and abundant gifts that are bestowed upon us, and protect us in it from every feared thing, calamity brought upon us, or sin incurred.
O Allah, I ask You by the greatness of what any of Your creation has asked You through, by Your gracious names, beautiful praise, and specific supplication, that You send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and that You make this month of ours the greatest month of Ramadan that has passed upon us since You brought us into this world, with blessings in the preservation of my faith, the salvation of my soul, the fulfillment of my needs, and intercession for my requests, the completion of Your grace upon me, the repulsion of evil from me, and the granting of health and safety to me in it.
And that You make me by Your mercy among those You have chosen for the Night of Decree, and made it better for him than a thousand months in the highest rewards, and generous treasures, and good thanks, and long life, and continuous ease.
O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, Your bounty, Your forgiveness, Your blessings, Your majesty, Your ancient goodness, and Your grace, that You do not make this the last farewell from me to the month of Ramadan until You allow me to reach it again next year in the best state, and that You make me recognize its crescent with those who see it and acknowledge it in the best of Your health, the greatest of Your blessings, and the widest of Your mercy, and the most abundant of Your provision, O My Lord, who has no Lord other than You.
May this farewell not be for me a farewell of extinction, nor the last meeting from me, until You show it to me again next year in the widest of bounties and the best of hopes, and I am for You in the best of fulfillment. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing of supplication.
O Allah, hear my supplication, have mercy on my supplication, and my humility before You, my submission, and my reliance upon You. I am for You a surrendered one, and I do not hope for success, healing, honor, or reaching except through You and from You. So grant me, O Glorious, blessed are Your names, the opportunity to reach the month of Ramadan, while I am free from every harm, fear, and from all calamities.
All praise is due to Allah, who has assisted us in fasting this month and performing its prayers until He has allowed me to reach the last night of it."
