اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيْـمَا تَقْضِيْ وَتُقَدِّرُ
O Allah, I beseech You to decide for me
مِنَ الْاَمْرِ الْمَحْتُوْمِ فِى الْاَمْرِ الْحَكِيْمِ،
while taking decisions and rendering possible things and events decisively—
مِنَ الْقَضَاۤءِ الَّذِيْ لَا يُرَدُّ وَلَا يُبَدَّلُ
decisions which can not be changed or bypassed—
اَنْ تَكْتُبَنِيْ مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ،
to write my name in the list of those pilgrims of Your Holy House
الْمَبْرُوْرِ حَجُّهُمُ،
whose pilgrimage receives Your approval,
الْمَشْكُوْرِ سَعْيُهُمُ
whose efforts are appreciated,
الْمَغْفُوْرِ ذُنُوْبُهُمْ،
whose sins are forgiven,
الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ،
whose wrongdoings are overlooked,
وَاَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيْـمَا تَقْضِيْ وَتُقَدِّرُ،
and, while making decisions and rendering possible things and events,
اَنْ تُطِيْلَ عُمْرِيْ فِيْ خَيْرِ وَعَافِيَةٍ،

وَتُوَسِّعَ فِيْ رِزْقِي،

include me with those whom You use for backing Your Religion,
وَلَا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِيْ غَيْرِيْ۔
and do not substitute another in my place.
Fourteenth: According to the book of Anis al-Salihin, it is recommended to say the following supplicatory prayer every night in Ramadan:
اَعُوْذُ بِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيْمِ
I seek refuge with the majesty of Your Honorable Face
اَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ عَنِّي شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ،
against that the month of Ramadan elapses
اَوْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِيْ هٰذِهِ،
or dawn breaks this night,
وَلَكَ قِبَلِيْ تَبِعَةٌ اَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُعَذِّبُنِيْ عَلَيْهِ۔
and there is still a sin or an offense in my record for which You may chastise me.
Fifteenth: In the margin of al-Balad al-Amin, al-Kaf’ami has reported on the authority of Sayyid Ibn Baqi that it is recommended to offer a two unit prayer every night in Ramadan, reciting in the first unit Surah al-Faatehah once and repeating Surah al-Tawheed three times. After accomplishment, it is recommended to say the following litany:
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ حَفِيْظٌ لَا يَغْفُلُ،
Glory be to Him Who watches over, never leaves anything undone, or is neglectful.
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ رَحِيْمٌ لَا يَعْجَلُ،
Glory be to Him Who is Merciful, never does a thing in haste.
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ قَآ ئِمٌ لَا يَسْهُوْ،
Glory be to Him Who is vigilant, never forgets one thing over another.
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ دَاۤئِمٌ لَا يَلْهُوْ۔
Glory be to Him Who is alert and steady, never is engrossed with a thing so as to overlook another.
After that, it is recommended to say the al-Tasbihat al-Arba’ah (the Four Statements of Glorification):
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ
All glory be to Allah,
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ
all praise be to Allah,
وَلَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ
there is no god save Allah,
وَاللهُ اَكْبَرُ۔
and Allah is the Greatest.
Then, it is recommended to say the following imploration for forgiveness:
سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ،
Glory be to You! Glory be to You! Glory be to You!
يَا عَظِيْمُ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظيمَ۔
O All-great, forgive my grave sins.
Then, it is recommended to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household ten times:
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلٰي اٰلِهِ۔
O Allah, (please do) send blessings to Muhammad and upon his Household.
Almighty Allah will forgive seventy thousand sins of those who offer this prayer in the previous form.
Sixteenth: According to a Hadith, if one recites Surah al-Fath (No. 48) in a considerable prayer, he will be saved all over that year.
