Did you know there is a night better than a thousand months? This is Laylatul Qadr, or the Night of Power, one of the most blessed nights in the Islamic year. It's a time when Muslims around the world seek Allah's mercy, blessings, and forgiveness through heartfelt prayers and supplications.
In this post, we'll share six powerful duas (supplications) from the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to help you make the most of this extraordinary night.
Laylatul Qadr carries great significance in Islam due to its exceptional blessings. It is the night of power when the Quran was sent down. It is the time when the angels descend on the earth by the command of Allah Almighty.
Did you know if you pray sincerely on this night, Allah forgives all of your previous sins? The Prophet (PBUH) said,
“Whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari 2014)
Therefore, it is a precious gift for Muslims who truly want to repent and earn great rewards for good deeds. To help you make the most of this blessed night, this article further unfolds six powerful duas for Laylatul Qadr inspired by the Quran and Hadith.
Below are six beautiful and authentic duas you can recite on Laylatul Qadr. Each dua, adapted from the Quran and Sunnah, comes with its Arabic text, a simple transliteration, and an easy-to-understand translation.
Aisha (RA) once asked the Prophet (PBUH) what supplication should be recited on this blessed night of Laylatul Qadr. Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) taught her the following dua:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
“O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah 3850)
This dua is simple but carries a deep meaning. When you recite it, you ask Allah to cover your mistakes with His mercy. It is a reminder that no matter how many mistakes you as a human being make, Allah’s door of forgiveness is always open.

It is important to keep our hearts on the right path. One of the most heartfelt prayers for guidance is found in the Quran. This dua is a plea for your hearts to remain true to the guidance that Allah has given:
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana wahab lana mil ladunka rahmah. Innaka Anta al-Wahhab.
“Our Lord! Do not let our hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us Your mercy. You are indeed the Giver (of all bounties).”
(Surah Ali Imran, verse 8)
This dua is a constant reminder that once the believers receive guidance from Allah, they must protect their hearts from falling away. It shows their dependence on Allah’s mercy for staying on the right path.
Prayer for the well-being of the entire Muslim community is a noble act. In times of hardship or even in moments of joy, thinking of others and asking for their well-being builds a strong bond among believers. The following dua from the Quran is a perfect example:
رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْحِسَابُ
Rabbana ighfir lee waliwalidayya walilmu'mineena yawma yaqoomu alhisab
“Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established.”
(Surah Ibrahim, Verse 41)
This dua is both personal and communal. It asks for forgiveness for oneself, one’s parents, and for all believers. This spirit of unity and concern for others is at the heart of Islamic teachings. It reminds us that our strength as a community comes from our ability to care for each other.
Our daily lives depend on the blessings of sustenance, or rizq. Whether it is food, shelter, or any other form of provision, Allah is the ultimate provider. This dua, which has been reported in the Sunnah, helps Muslims seek Allah’s blessings for both spiritual and material needs:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَوَسِّعْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِ
Allahummaghfirlif zambi wa was-si’-li fi daa ri wa barik li fi riz-qi
“O Allah! Forgive my sins, and widen my home, and grant barakah in my rizq.”
(Jami at-Tirmidhi 3500)
This dua is a humble request for both forgiveness and increased blessings in our lives. Want to know more duas? Read this blog to learn more duas for Rizq.
Good health is one of the most precious blessings you have. Without it, even the best of blessings can seem less meaningful. The Prophet (PBUH) taught a beautiful dua for asking for health and protection over our bodies and senses.
اللّهُـمَّ عافِـني في بَدَنـي، اللّهُـمَّ عافِـني في سَمْـعي، اللّهُـمَّ عافِـني في بَصَـري، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّه أَنْـتَ
Allāhumma `āfinī fī badanī, Allāhumma `āfinī fī sam`ī, Allāhumma `āfinī fī baṣarī, lā ilāha illā ant
“O Allah, make my body healthy. O Allah, preserve for me my hearing. O Allah, preserve for me my sight. There is none worthy of worship but You.”
(Hisn-al-Islam 82)
This dua is a comprehensive request for well-being. By asking for protection over your body, hearing, and sight, it acknowledges that every part is a blessing from Allah. It also reinforces the idea that you should never take your health for granted.
Success in both this world and the hereafter is the ultimate goal of every believer. This beautiful dua, which is also found in the Quran, encompasses the hopes and dreams of every Muslim:
رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةًۭ وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan waqina 'adhaban-nar
“Our Lord! Grant us the good of this world and the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 201)
This dua is comprehensive and covers all aspects of life. It asks for goodness in both our worldly life and our eternal life, while also seeking protection from the punishment of the Fire.
a. Make More Dhikr: Dhikr means remembering Allah through the recitation of His names, praises, and verses from the Quran. Increasing your dhikr can fill your heart with peace and mindfulness.
b. Practice I’tikaf: It is a form of spiritual retreat where you seclude yourself in a mosque for a few days during the last ten nights of Ramadan. The idea is to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and focus solely on worship and reflection.
c. Increase Quran Recitation: Dedicate a quiet moment each night to recite a portion of the Quran, even if it's just a few verses. Reflect on the meanings behind the words - by reading a simple translation or a brief tafsir - to deepen your understanding.
d. Engage in Self-Reflection and Journaling: A Ramadan Journal can be an excellent companion during these sacred nights. Use it to record your reflections, track your duas, and note any personal insights or feelings as you journey through this holy month.

Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) used to strive hard (in worship) during the last ten days of Ramadan in a way that he did not strive at any other times. Among these nights is Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, which the Quran describes as "better than a thousand months."
This is a unique opportunity to seek Allah's immense blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. Remember, even small acts of sincere worship can lead to significant spiritual rewards. May Allah accept your prayers, grant you forgiveness, and bestow His blessings upon you and your loved ones.
