fwd - dua on Ramadan

Oh Allah, all praise is due to You; and to You is due all gratitude and thanks; and to You returns all matters - the open of them, and the hidden of them. Glory to the Lord of power and dominion; glory to the One who will not die; glory to the One who gives life to His creation, and He will not die. Glory to the One who is Lord of all lords [arbaab]; glory to the One who facilitates all means; glory to the One whose throne `arsh] is in the heavens, and in the earth is His authority [sultaan]; glory to the One whom no creature of this life [dunyaa] can see, and Whom no sense can perceive; and Whom description seekers cannot perceive; and Whom incidents do not change; and He does not fear His creatures. He knows the weight of the mountains; and the measure of the oceans; and the count of rain; and the number of veins of the trees; and the amount of the darkness of nights and the brightness of days

Oh Giver of refuge for those who seek refuge; Beloved of those who love; Hope of those who are cut off [munqat`iyeen]; Raiser of the fallen; The One who is with broken hearts; Who answers the calls of the dejected; the Mercy of this life and the hereafter and the Compassion of both; Who answers the desires of those in need. He knows the minds of the silent; One who does not have a partner from whom He must seek, or an angel from whom He asks and is refused, or one who is thankful to Him but is deprived
Glory is due to Allah, and praise; all glory is due to Allah. Oh Allah, guide us by Your favor among those whom You have guided; and forgive us among those whom You have forgiven; and be our Protector among those whom You have protected; and bless us in all that You have given us; and save us and keep away from us any evil which You have decreed; verily You decree and none decrees besides what You decree; and none is abased whom You befriend; and none holds power whom You oppose. Blessed are You, our Lord, exalted; and to You are due all thanks, for Your blessings and bounty; we seek forgiveness from Allah from all sins and we repent to You; there is no refuge or place of shelter except for to You

Oh Allah, distance our sins [ma’seeya] from our obedience to You that will lead us to paradise; and indeed from certainty in faith [yaqeen] comes difficulty in the life of this world [dunyaa] And bless us our hearing, and our sight, and our faculties, as long as You allow us to live; and make them protectors for us against the transgressions we have committed; and make us victorious over our enemies; and do not allow us to have problems in our deen; and do not allow us to make the life of this world our greatest concern; and remove from us difficulty in attaining knowledge; and do not make hellfire our destination; and make jannah our home; and do not impose upon us, because of our sins, people who lack mercy and do not fear You (as authorities over us) by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Oh Allah, preserve us with steadfastness in Islam while we’re standing; and preserve us in Islam while we’re sitting; and preserve us in Islam while we’re sleeping Oh Allah bless us with a pure life; and an easy death; and a return to You without grief and difficulty; Oh Allah help us with our death; and with the grave and its punishment; and from slipping from the siraat; and the Day of Reckoning and its terror

Our Lord, You created us in the best of forms; and You granted us sustenance from Your bounty; and You taught us and gave us guidance; and then we disobeyed You openly, but You forgave us; and we committed sins, but You availed us from them; Your generosity has been descending upon us, yet we sin easily, and we are weak; if You look to our account then we indeed deserve punishment; but Your mercy is more expansive than our sins, so grant us Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy
Oh Allah give us, and do not deprive us; and increase for us, and do not decrease us; and be generous to us, and do not be severe with us; and grace us, and do not disgrace us; and help us, and do not forsake us
Oh Allah, make white our faces (with light); and give us our books on our right; and raise our degrees in status; and make our balances heavy (on the side of good); and overlook our sins [sayee`aat]
Oh Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth; Lord of Majesty and Bounty; by Your power which does not exhaust, we ask, Oh Allah, Oh the Most Merciful

Make our vision lighted by Your Book; so that our tongues will manifest (from it); and lighten our graves (with it); and by it forgive our sins [dhunoob]; and improve with it our affairs by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy Oh Allah, allow the month of Ramadan to be completed in Your pleasure and with us attaining the success of entering Your garden

Oh our Lord, this holy month has indeed past; and we stand fearful and shaking before You; and we hope in You; accept from us, our Lord, our fasting [sawm]; and our standing in worship [qiyaamina]; and our prayers [salaatina]; and our remembrance [adhkaarina]; and all our deeds; and do not reject our deeds on the Day of Judgement.

Ameen!
