Laylat al-Qadr: Amaal and Dua for the 19th Night

اللّهُمّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

allahumma al`an qatalata ameeri almu´mineena

O Allah: (please do) withdraw your mercy from the killers of the Commander of the Believers (Amir al-Mu'minin Imam Ali)

يَا ذَا الّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَ كُلّ شَيْءٍ،

ya dhalladhy kana qabla kulli shay‘in

O He Who has been always there before all things,

ثُمّ خَلَقَ كُلّ شَيْءٍ،

thumma khalaqa kulla shay‘in

And He then created all things,

ثُمّ يَبْقَى وَيَفْنَى كُلّ شَيْءٍ،

thumm yabqa wa yafna kullu shay‘in

And He then stays while all things vanish.

يَا ذَا الّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ،

ya dhalladhy laysa kamithlihi shay‘un

O He Whose like in not found at all

وَيَا ذَا الّذِي لَيْسَ فِي السّمَاوَاتِ العُلَى،

wa ya dhalladhy laysa fi alssamawati al`ula

O He; neither in the highest heavens,

وَلا فِي الأَرَضِينَ السّفْلَى،

wa la fi alaradhina alssufla

Nor in the lowest layers of the earth

وَلا فَوْقَهُنّ وَلا تَحْتَهُنّ وَلا بَيْنَهُنّ إلهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُهُ،

wa la fawqahunna wa la tahtahunna wa la baynahunna ilhun yu`badu ghayruhu

Nor above them, nor beneath them, nor there is between them any god that is worshipped save Him.

لَكَ الحَمْدُ حَمْداً لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهِ إلاَّ أَنْتَ،

laka alhamdu hamdan la yaqwa `ala ihsa’ihi illa anta

To You be the praise that none can count save You,

فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ صَلاةً لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهَا إلاَّ أَنْتَ.

fasalli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin salatan la yaqwa `ala ihsa’ihailla anta

So, please bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad with the blessings that none can count save You.

اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ

allahumma inni as`aluka fi ma taqdi watuqaddir

O Allah: I beseech You regarding that which You decide and determine

مِنْ الأمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

minal-amril-mahtumi fi laylatil-qadr

from the inevitable decisions that You make on the Grand Night—

مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لا يُرَدُّ وَلا يُبَدَّلُ

minal-qadha`il-ladhi la yuraddu wala yubaddal

decisions that are neither retreated nor altered—

أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ

an taktubani min hujjaji baytikal-haram

that You may include me with the pilgrims to Your Holy House,

الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ،

al-mabruri hajjuhum

whose pilgrimage is admitted by You

الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ،

al-mashkuri sa’yuhum

and whose efforts are thankfully accepted by You,

الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ،

al-maghfuri dhunubuhum

and whose sins are forgiven by You,

الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ،

al-mukaffari `anhum sayyi`atuhum

and whose offenses are pardoned by You,

وَاجْعَلْ فِي مَا تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ

waj-`al fi ma taqdi watuqaddir

and that You, also within Your determined decisions,

أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرَي

an tutila `umri

that You decide for me a long life,

وَتُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي،

watuwassi’a `alayya rizqi

and expansive sustenance,

وَتُؤَدِّيَ عَنِّي أَمَانَتِي وَدَيْنِي،

watu`addiya `anni amanati wadayni

and that You help me fulfill my trusts and settle my debts,

آمِين رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

amina rabbal-`alamin

Respond to me; O the Lord of the worlds.
