Month of Ramadan

Dua Ya Mafzai

It is recommended to say the following supplication, which is considered the shortest supplications of the last hours of Ramadan nights. It is also mentioned in the book of Iqbal al-A`mal:

يَا مَفْزَعِي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي
ya mafza`i `inda kurbati
O my Safe haven in grievances!
وَيَا غَوْثِي عِنْدَ شِدّتِي
wa ya ghawthi `inda shiddati
O my Aide in hardships!
إِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ
ilayka fazi`tu
To You do I turn,
وَبِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ
wa bika istaghathtu
Your help do I seek,
وَبِكَ لُذْتُ
wa bika ludhtu
and with You do I take refuge.
لاَ الُوذُ بِسِوَاكَ
la aludhu bisiwaka
I seek refuge with none save You
وَلاَ اطْلُبُ ٱلْفَرَجَ إِلاَّ مِنْكَ
wa la atlubu alfaraja illa minka
and I beseech none for relief save You.
فَاغِثْنِي وَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي
fa'aghithni wa farrij `anni
So, (please) come to my help and free me from cares.
يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْيَسِيرَ
ya man yaqbalu alyasira
O He Who accepts even the least efforts
وَيَعْفُو عَنِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ
wa ya`fu `an alkathiri
excuses the much wrongdoing!
إِقْبَلْ مِنِّي ٱلْيَسِيرَ
iqbal minni alyasira
(Please do) accept my little effort
وَٱعْفُ عَنِّي ٱلْكَثِيرَ
wa`fu `anni alkathira
excuse my much wrongdoing.
إِنِّكَ انْتَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
innaka anta alghafuru alrrahimu
Verily, You are the Oft-forgiving, Merciful (Lord).
اللِّهُمِّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ إِيـمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي
allahumma inni as'aluka imanan tubashiru bihi qalbi
O Allah, I ask for faith with which You may satisfy my heart
وَيَقِيناً حَتَّىٰ اعْلَمَ انِّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي
wa yaqinan hatta a`lama annahu lan yusibani illa ma katabta li
and for certitude so that I shall always know that nothing will afflict me save what You have ordained for me
وَرَضِّنِي مِنَ ٱلْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي
wa raddini min al`ayshi bima qasamta li
(Please) make me feel satisfied with the living that You decide for me.
يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
ya arhama alrrahimina
O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
يَا عُدِّتِي فِي كُرْبَتِي
ya `uddati fi kurbati
O my means at times of agonies!
وَيَا صَاحِبِي فِي شِدِّتِي
wa ya sahibi fi shiddati
O my companion at times of hardships!
وَيَا وَلِيِّي فِي نِعْمَتِي
wa ya waliyyi fi ni`mati
O Source of all my bounties!
وَيَا غَايَتِي فِي رَغْبَتِي
wa ya ghayati fi raghbati
O my ultimate goal whenever I desire for something!
انْتَ ٱلسَّاتِرُ عَوْرَتِي
anta alssatiru `awrati
It is You Who is the concealer of my defects,
وَٱلآمِنُ رَوْعَتِي
wal-aminu raw`ati
Who secures me at times of horror,
وَٱلْمُقِيلُ عَثْرَتِي
wal-muqilu `athrati
and Who overlooks my slips.
فَٱغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي
faghfir li khati'ati
So, (please do) forgive my sin.
يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
ya arhama alrrahimina
O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
