﷽

اَلْحَمْدُ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
اللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّم

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, bestow prayers and peace upon our Master Muhammad and upon his Family and Companions.

اللّٰهُمَّ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَلَا يُمَنُّ عَلَيْهِ
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَام يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ وَالْإِنْعَام

O Allah, You are the Bestower of favours. No one has favour over You. O Possessor of Majesty and Nobility, You are the One Who constantly bestow His bounties.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ظَهْرَ اللاَّجِينَ
وَجَارَ الْمُسْتَجِيرِينَ وَأَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ

There is no deity other than You. You are the One who grants safety and refuge to those that seek it and to those in fear.

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَتَبْتَنَا عِنْدَكَ أَشْقِيَاءَ
أَوْ مَحْرُومِينَ أَوْ مَطْرُودِينَ أَوْ مَقَتَّرًا
عَلَيْنَا فِي الرِّزْقِفَامْحُ اللّٰهُمَّ بِفَضْلِكَ
شَقَاوَتَنَا وَحِرْمَانَنَا وَطَرْدَنَا وَإِقْتَارَ
أَرْزَاقَنَا وَاثْبِتْنَا عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ
سُعَدَاءَ مَرْزُوقِينَ مُوَفَّقِينَ لِلْخَيْرَاتِ
فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ فِي كِتَابِكَ
الْمُنْزَل عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَل
يَمْحُو اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ)
(أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ

O Allah, if You have recorded us as being wretched, deprived, cast out or if You have recorded that our provision be restricted, then erase this out of Your bounty. Instead record us in “the Mother of the Book” as being felicitous, as having plentiful provision and grant us the ability to do good works. Truly You have said, and Your word is true, in Your revealed Book, on the tongue of Your Prophet: Allah erases and confirms what He wishes and with Him is the Mother of the Book.

إِلَهِي بِاتَّجَلِّي الْأَعْظَمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ
النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ الْمُكَرَّمِ الَّتِي
يُفْرَقُ فِيهَا كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ وَيُبْرَمُ
نَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَكْشِفَ عَنَّا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ
مَا نَعْلَمُ وَمَا لَا نَعْلَمُ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِهِ
أَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَم

O Allah, through the most mighty manifestation that takes place on the fifteenth night of Sha‘bān the ennobled month, in which every decreed affair becomes distinct and unchangeable, we ask You to remove all tribulations, those that we know and those that we do not know and those about which You know more, for truly You are the Most Mighty, the Most Generous.

وَصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّم

O Allah, bestow peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad and upon his Family and Companions.
