The holy month of Ramadan
Duaa Ha'aj
To be recited after maghrib prayers
It has been narrated by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in ‘al-Iqbal’ that Imam al-sadiq (peace be upon him) used to say this supplication after the Maghrib (sunset) Prayers in Ramadan. In ‘al-Kafi’, al-Kulayni has narrated on the authority of Abu-Basir that Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) used to say the following supplication in Ramadan:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي بِكَ وَمِنْكَ أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي
allahumma inni bika wa minka atlubu hajati
O Allah, from You and by You, I beseech for settling my need.

وَمَنْ طَلَبَ حَاجَةً إِلَىٰ النَّاسِ
wa man talaba hajatan ila alnnasi
If others beg people for settling their needs,

فَإِنِّي لاَ أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي إِلاَّ مِنْكَ
fa-inni la atlubu hajati illa minka
I ask none except You for settling my need;

وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ
wahdaka la sharika laka
from You alone, since You have no partner with You.

وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِفَضْلِكَ وَرِضْوَانِكَ
wa as'aluka bifadlika wa ridwanika
I thus implore You in the name of Your favor and Your pleasure,

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ahli baytihi
to send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي فِي عَامِي هٰذَا إِلَىٰ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْحَرَامِ سَبِيلاً
wa an taj`ala li fi `ami hadha ila baytika alharami sabilan
and to choose for me a way to Your Holy House this year:

حِجَّةً مَبْرُورَةً
hijjatan mabruratan
a pilgrimage that is admitted,

مُتَقَبَّلَةً زَاكِيةً
mutaqabbalatan zakiyatan
accepted, pure,

خَالِصَةً لَكَ
khalisatan laka
and sincerely intended for You

تَقَرُّ بِهَا عَيْنِي
taqarru biha `ayni
by which You delight me

وَتَرْفَعُ بِهَا دَرَجَتِي
wa tarfa`u biha darajati
and raise my rank with You.

وَتَرْزُقَنِي أَنْ أَغُضَّ بَصَرِي
wa tarzuqani an aghudda basari
Confer upon me with the grace of making me cast my sight down (against what is illegal for me to look at),

وَأَنْ أَحْفَظَ فَرْجِي
wa an ahfaza farji
making me act chastely,

وَأَنْ أَكُفَّ بِهَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ مَحَارِمِكَ
wa an akuffa biha `an jami`i maharimika
and making me stop committing any deed that You have deemed unlawful

حَتَّىٰ لاَ يَكُونَ شَيْءٌ آثَرَ عِنْدِي مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ وَخَشْيَتِكَ
hatta la yakuna shay`un athara `indi min ta`atika wa khashyatika
so that nothing will be more preferred in my sight than obedience to You, fear of You,

وَٱلْعَمَلِ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ
wal`amali bima ahbabta
doing all that which You love,

وَٱلتَّرْكِ لِمَا كَرِهْتَ وَنَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ
walttarki lima karihta wa nahayta `anhu
and avoiding all that which You have detested and warned against.

وَٱجْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فِي يُسْرٍ وَيَسَارٍ
waj`al dhalika fi yusrin wa yasarin
(Please) make all that take place with easiness, lenience,

وَعَافِيَةٍ وَمَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ
wa `afiyatin wa ma an`amta bihi `alayya
and good health as well as the grace that You have bestowed upon me.

وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ وَفَاتِي قَتْلاً فِي سَبِيلِكَ
wa as'aluka an taj`ala wafati qatlan fi sabilika
I beseech You to cause me to die as martyr for Your sake,

تَحْتَ رَايَةِ نَبِيِّكَ مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ
tahta rayati nabiyyika ma`a awliya'ika
under the pennon of Your Prophet and in the line of Your intimate servants.

وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِي أَعْدَاءَكَ وَأَعْدَاءَ رَسُولِكَ
wa as'aluka an taqtula bi a`da'aka wa a`da'a rasulika
I ask You to make me a means of killing Your enemies and the enemies of Your Messenger.

وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُكْرِمَنِي بِهَوَانِ مَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
wa as'aluka an tukrimani bihawani man shi'ta min khalqika
I ask You to honor me through humiliating any one of Your created beings that You choose,

وَلاَ تُهِنِّي بِكَرَامَةِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ
wa la tuhinni bikaramati ahadin min awliya'ika
and not to humiliate me through honoring any of Your intimate servants.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ لِي مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلاً
allahumma ij`al li ma`a alrrasuli sabilan
O Allah, find me a way with the Messenger.

حَسْبِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
hasbiya allahu ma sha'a allahu
Allah is Sufficient unto me! Only that which Allah wants shall take place.
