Prayers for the Last Ten Days of Ramadan from the Sunnah
During the holy month of Ramadan, believers strive to maximize their good deeds, particularly in the last ten days when they intensify their acts of worship and supplication. Among the beautiful prayers recommended for these days are:
- (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, grant me life as long as You know that life is better for me, and take my soul when You know that death is better for me. I ask of You to instill in me the fear of You in both the unseen and the witnessed, and I ask for the truthfulness in both satisfaction and anger. I seek moderation in wealth and poverty, permanence in blessings, unending delight, contentment after Your decree, and a soothing life after death. I long for the pleasure of gazing at Your face and the yearning to meet You, free from trials and tribulations, O Allah, adorn us with the beauty of faith and make us guides who are rightly guided).
- Narrated by Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her: (The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, taught me this supplication: O Allah, I ask You for all good, both immediate and delayed, for what I know and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all evil, both immediate and delayed, for what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness that Your servant and Prophet has asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil from which Your servant and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for deeds that bring me closer to it, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and from deeds that would draw me near to it. I ask You to make every decree You have ordained for me good).
- (Supplication for the distressed: O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not leave me to manage my affairs even for the blink of an eye. Rectify all my matters; there is no deity but You).
