Supplications for the Month of Ramadhan

Sura al-­Qadr, Chapter 97

From a hadith of Imam `’Ali (a): “...everything has a treasure, and the treasure of the poor is al­Qadr. Everything has a helper, and the helper of the weak is al­Qadr. Everything has an ease, and the ease of those in difficulty is al­Qadr . . . everything has a chief and the chief of knowledge is al­Qadr. . .”

إنا أنزلناه في ليلة القدر (1)

وما أدراك ما ليلة القدر(2)

ليلة القدر خير من الف شهر(3)

من كل أمر(4)

سلام هى حتى مطلع الفجر (5)

Translation

In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

1. Surely, We have sent it (the Qur'an) down in the night of Qadr.

2. What will make you know what the night of Qadr is?

3. The night of Qadr is better than a thousand months.

4. The angels and the (holy) spirit descend in it, with the permission of their Lord, with (decrees) for every affair.

5. Peace, until the break of dawn.
