The Prophet’s supplication on the Night of Decree:
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, she said:
O Messenger of God, if I know which night is the Night of Decree, what should I say on it?
He said: “Say: O God, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon me.”
(Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, and authenticated by Al-Albani).
Recommended supplications on the Night of Decree:
1. O Allah, You are Forgiving and Generous, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.
2. O God, let us reach the Night of Decree, and enable us to stand in prayer in it with faith and seeking reward.
3. O God, make me among those who are accepted tonight, and write for me a good ending.
4. O Allah, free our necks from Hellfire, and forgive us, our parents, and all Muslims.
5. O Allah, grant me closeness to You, and grant me the best of what Your servant and Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked of You.
6. O God, set right all my affairs, and do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye.
7. O God, grant us a share of Your mercy, forgiveness, and freedom from Hellfire.
8. O God, write for me this night a happiness after which I will never be miserable again.
