Dua for Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power)

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 At-Tirmidhi 3513

Spiritual Benefits

This is the exact dua the Prophet (PBUH) taught his wife Aisha to recite if she realized it was Lailatul Qadr. It is simple but encompasses the ultimate goal: complete pardon from Allah.

When Should I Say This Dua?

Recite this continuously throughout the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

Proper Etiquette (Sunnah)

Make this supplication during prostration (Sujud) or in the quiet hours of the night with profound sincerity.
