Some Special Prayers and Zikr For Laitul Qadr

  1. Seeking Forgiveness. Hazrat Aa'ishah radhiyallahu anhaa asked the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam that if she happened to get the night sublime what prayer should she say. The Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam replied that she should say the following prayer :

    "Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareemun tuhib-bul af-wa fa-afo anni"

    (O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for sins, loves forgiving, so forgive me.)
  2. Reciting Astaghfar. The following should be recited as much as possible:

    "Astaghfirullah hallazi la-ila-ha illa huwal Hayyul Qayyumo wa atu-bu ilaihe"

    (I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty, there is no God but He. He is self-Existent, the Eternal and I return to Him)
  3. Reciting Surah `Inna anzalnahu...'

    "Inna anzalnahu fee lailatul Qadr, Wa maa adraka maa lailatul Qadr.

    Lailatul Qadri khairum min alfi shahr. Tanazzalul malai-katu var-roohu

    fee ha bi izni Rabbihim min kulle amr. Salaamun heya hatta matla-il fajr."
  4. Do Salatul Tasbih.
  5. Do Afzul Zikr i.e. La ilaha illallah
