Dua’s of Laylat al-Qadr

The Power of Duas in Ramadan: Seeking Blessings & Forgiveness

Ramadan is a month of immense spiritual significance, a time when Muslims worldwide engage in fasting, prayer, and self-reflection. It is a period to seek closeness to Allah (SWT), purify the heart, and strengthen faith. Among the many acts of worship in this blessed month, making dua (supplication) holds a special place.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Dua is the essence of worship.” (Tirmidhi)

During Ramadan, especially in the last ten nights, the doors of mercy are wide open, and Allah’s (SWT) blessings are multiplied. It is a time when sincere prayers are readily accepted, making it essential to engage in heartfelt supplications. Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power, falls within these final nights, and its rewards are greater than a thousand months.

This article compiles some of the most powerful and beneficial duas for forgiveness, guidance, sustenance, protection, and blessings. These supplications, derived from the Quran and Sunnah, will help you maximize the spiritual benefits of Ramadan and Laylatul Qadr.

May Allah (SWT) accept our fasts, prayers, and duas, and grant us His infinite mercy. Ameen. 🤲
