Dua for Laylat al-Qadr and Reviving the Last Ten Nights

Revive the last ten nights of Ramadan to seek Laylat al-Qadr with intention, Surah Al-Qadr, and the specific dua for forgiveness taught by the Prophet to Aisha. Follow this structured routine during the nights of Ramadan or at suhoor.

Intention to Revive the Night

On each of the last ten nights of Ramadan, sit in a state of ablution (wudu) after Isha or at the time of dawn (suhoor) and make the intention:

"O Allah! I intend to revive this night for Your sake, to reach Laylat al-Qadr, and to attain Your forgiveness. Do not deprive me of the blessings of this night."

Surah Al-Qadr

بِّسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ ﴿١﴾ وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ ﴿٢﴾ لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ ﴿٣﴾ تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ ﴿٤﴾ سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ ﴿٥﴾
