إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُم بِأَلْفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ
"When you asked for help from your Lord, He answered you. Indeed I will aid you with a thousand of the angels in rows behind rows" - Sura 8 Anfal Aya 9 Duas on 17th Night & Day Dua 1 for 17 Night from Iqbal Aamal
بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
اَللَّهُمَّ هذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ
O my God! This is the month of Ramadhan in which you have revealed the Quran
وَأَمَرْتَ فِيهِ بِعِمَارَةِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَالدُّعَاءِ وَالصِّيَامِ وَالْقِيَامِ وَضَمِنْتَ لَنَا فِيهِ الاِسْتِجَابَةَ
and ordered us to build mosques during it and pray, observe fasting and do acts of worship. You have guaranteed its fulfilment for us.
فَقَدِ اجْتَهَدْنَا وَأَنْتَ أَعَنْتَنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِيهِ
We strove and You helped us. So please forgive us during it
وَلاَ تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا وَاعْفُ عَنَّا فَإِنَّكَ رَبُّنَا وَارْحَمْنَا فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدُنَا
and do not make this the last month of Ramadhan in our lifetime Pardon us as You are our Lord. Please have mercy upon us as You are our Master
وَاجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ إِلى مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَرِضْوَانِكَ
Please let us be amongst those who return to Your Forgiveness and Your Pleasure,
بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الأَجَلُّ الأَعْظَمُ
For the sake of Muhammad and his Household, for verily You are the Great, the Grand.
Dua 2 has been mentioned for the seventeenth night of the month of Ramadhan by Sayyed Ibn Tawus in his book of Iqbal Amaal:
سُبْحَانَ الْعَزِيْزِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ، الْمَالِك بِغَلَبَتِهِ
Glory be to God who is Exalted in Might due to His Power. Glory be to God who is Exalted in Might due to His Power.
الَّذِي لَا يَخْرُجُ شَئٌ عَنْ قَبْضَتِهِ، وَلَا أَمْرٌ إِلَّا بِيَدِهِ
He is the One from whose control nothing can escape. Nothing is decreed except by His Hand!
الَّذِي يَجُودُ مُبْتَدِئاً وَمَسْؤُولاً وَيَنْعَمُ مَعِيدًا، هُوَ الْحَمِيدُ الْمَجِيْد
He bestows without being asked, and with being asked. He continues His blessings. He is the Praised, the Noble
نَحْمَدَهُ بِتَوْفِيقِهِ، فَنِعَمُهُ بِذَلِكَ جُدُدٌ لَا تُحْصَى، وَنُمَجِّدَهُ بِآلَائِهِ وَبدَلَالَاتِهِ فَأَيَادِيهِ لَا تُكَافَى
We praise Him when He gives us success! His blessings are new and uncountable. We glorify Him for His Bounties and for His Proofs that cannot be compensated for
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّه الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ الْمَالِكِينَ، وَيُعِزُّ الْأَعْزَاء، وَيُذِّلُ الْأَذَلِّين
And praise be to God, Who rules the rulers, gives power to the powerful and debases the debased
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَة لَيْلَةَ سَّبْعَ عَشْرَةٍ ، عَشْرَ وَهِي أَوَّلُ عُقُودَ الْأَعْدَاد، وَسَّبْعَ وَهِيَ شَرِيفَةَ الْآحَاد، لَاحِقَةٌ بِنَعْتِ سَّابِقِه
O my God! This is seventeenth night, ten is the first of the digits in the decades and seven is the most honoured of the single digits that is connected to it.
وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ أَمْضَاهُنَّ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَكَ يَا مَوْلَاه قَضَاك، وَلَا بِقُرْبٍ إِلَيْكَ أَرْضَاكَ
O Master! Woe be upon me who lets this night pass without respecting Your Right and tries to please You in ways other than approaching You
وَأَنَا أَحَدٌ أَهْلُ الْوَيْل، صَدَّتَّنِي عَنْكَ بَطْنَةُ الْمَآكِلْ وَالْمَشَارِب
I am one such person since I have been held back from You by overeating and overdrinking
وَغَرَّنِي بِكَ أَمْرُ الْمُسَارِب وَسَعَةُ الْمَذَاهِب، وَاجْتَذَبَتَنِي إِلَى لَذَّاتِهَا سُنَّتِي، وَرَكِبْتُ الْوَطِيئَةَ اللَّذِيذَة مِن غَفْلَتِي.
I was fooled by the various roads and the extensive means. My drowsiness led me to the worldly pleasures and I rode on the waves of such pleasures out of my ignorance.
فَاطْرُد عَنِّي الْاِغْتِرَار، وَأَنْقِذْنِي وَانْفُ بِي عَلَى الْاِسْتِبْصَار، وَاحْفَظْنِي مِن يَدِ الْغَفْلَة وَسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى الْيَقْظَة
Please fend off delusions from me, save me and grant me good insight. And protect me against negligence, and secure me with awareness
بِسَعَادَةٍ مِنْكَ تُمْضِيهَا وَتَقْضِيهَا لِي، وَتُبَيِّضْ وَجْهِي لَدَيْك، وَتُزْلِفُنِي عِنْدَكْ
with prosperity from Yourself which you endorse and destine for me and brighten my face near you and bring me closer to Yourself
يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين، وَصلى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ النَّبِيّ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم
O the most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please bestow Your peace and blessings on Muhammad and his Household.
