Allah says,The night of decree is better than a thousand months
let’s learn together the best Duas to make on Laylatul Qadr
The Best Du’a for the Holy Night
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) what du’a to make if she knew it was Laylatul Qadr. He replied:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
“O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.”
This du’a is considered the best du’a for the holy night because it captures the essence of Laylatul Qadr; seeking Allah’s pardon and striving for a clean slate.
Importance of Making Du’a for Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a cornerstone of faith. Laylatul Qadr is the ideal time to cleanse your heart and soul by sincerely asking Allah for forgiveness.
Allah says:
وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
“And who forgives sins except Allah?”
The importance of making du’a for forgiveness brings peace to the soul and strengthens your bond with Allah.
Make du’a for a good life and Akhirah
Laylatul Qadr is an opportunity to seek both worldly and eternal blessings. Ask Allah for health, happiness, and success, along with a good end in the Hereafter.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
“Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
laylatul Qadr is great opportunity to make du’a for a good life and Akhirah
Make Du’a for the Ummah
Laylatul Qadr is also a time to think beyond yourself. Pray for the well-being, make du’a for the Ummah, asking Allah for unity, peace, and prosperity.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ
“Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter.”
