The Holy Month of Ramadan is the spring of the Holy Quran and the month of divine banquets. Transmitted through the purified Ahlulbayt (A.S) and recorded by Sheikh Abbas Qummi in Mafatih al-Jinan, Ibn Abbas narrates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) recommended a concise, spiritually potent supplication for each of the thirty days of Ramadan.
The First Ten Days: The Days of Mercy (Rahmah)
Day 1 Dua
Translation: “O Allah, on this day make my fast the fast of those who sincerely fast, and my standing in prayer that of those who stand in devotion; awaken me from the sleep of the heedless, forgive my transgressions O God of the worlds, and pardon me, O Pardoner of the wrongdoers.”
Day 2 Dua
Translation: “O Allah, on this day bring me near to Your pleasure, keep me away from Your displeasure and punishment, and grant me the opportunity to recite Your verses, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.”
Day 3 Dua
Translation: “O Allah, on this day grant me wisdom and awareness, keep me away from foolishness and deception, and award me a share from every blessing You send down, by Your generosity, O Most Generous.”
The Middle Ten Days: Days of Forgiveness (Maghfirah)
Days 11 through 20 focus on spiritual purification, subduing anger, feeding orphans, and preparing hearts for the blessed Nights of Destiny (Laylat al-Qadr).
Day 15 Dua (Auspicious Birth of Imam Hasan A.S)
Translation: “O Allah, on this day grant me the obedience of the humble, expand my chest with the repentance of the devout, by Your sanctuary, O Shelter of the fearful.”
The Final Ten Days: Laylat al-Qadr & Salvation
The 19th, 21st, and 23rd nights of Ramadan are the blessed Nights of Qadr. Reciting these supplications along with Dua Jawshan al-Kabeer and reading the Holy Quran brings unparalleled spiritual renewal.
Day 21 Dua (Martyrdom of Ameer al-Mu'mineen A.S)
Translation: “O Allah, on this day establish for me a guide to Your pleasure, do not let Satan find any way over me, and make Paradise a resting place for me, O Granter of the needs of seekers.”
