Dua for Laylat al-Qadr

As per the schedule of Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Sunnah-inspired gathering, we will now learn a dua. This week, we will learn the dua for Laylat al-Qadr. This is the dua:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنَّکَ عَفُوٌّکَرِیْمٌ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّیْ

O Allah! You are indeed magnanimous and forgiving! You love to forgive, so forgive me!^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Collective accountability – 72 Pious Deeds

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “A moment of contemplation ˹over the Hereafter˺ is better than sixty years of worship.”^[2]

Let us make good intentions before filling in the Pious Deeds booklet.

1.   To please Allah, I will take account of myself through the Pious Deeds booklet and encourage others to do the same.

2.   I will praise and thank Allah for all the Pious Deeds I was able to perform.

3.   I will regret the Pious Deeds I could not perform and try my best to do them in future.

4.   If I was not able to act upon any Pious Deed which stops one from sinning, I shall repent to Allah and make firm intention to not repeat the sin.

5.   I will not reveal my good deeds without reason.
