Dua for the 27th night of Ramadan (Ramaḍān)

يَا مَادَّ الظِّلِّ وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَجَعَلْتَهُ سَاكِنا وَ جَعَلْتَ الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلا ثُمَّ قَبَضْتَهُ قَبْضا يَسِيرا يَا ذَا الْجُودِ وَ الطَّوْلِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْآلاءِ لا اِلَهَ اِلا اَنْتَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ لا اِلَهَ اِلا اَنْتَ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا سَلامُ يَا مُؤْمِنُ يَا مُهَيْمِنُ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا جَبَّارُ يَا مُتَكَبِّرُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا خَالِقُ يَا بَارِئُ يَا مُصَوِّرُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا اللّٰهُ يَا اللّٰهُ لَكَ الْاَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْاَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلاءُ اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ اِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ اِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ اَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِينا تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ اِيمَانا يُذْهِبُ الشَّكَّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الْحَرِيقِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ اِلَيْكَ وَ الْاِنَابَةَ وَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ

 

Translation:

O Spreader of the shade and if You willed, You could make it still, then You have made the sun its pilot, then You withdraw it to Us, a gradual withdrawal! O Lord of magnanimity, conferral, greatness, and bounties! There is no god save You! You are the Knower of the hidden and the witnessed, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful! There is no god save You. O All-holy! O (Source of) Peace! O Grantor of security! O Dominant! O Mighty! O Omnipotent! O All-great! O Allah! O Creator! O Maker! O Fashioner! O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! To You are the Most Excellent Names, the most elevated examples, greatness, and bounties. I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, include my name with the list of the happiest ones, add my soul to the martyrs, record my good deeds in the most exalted rank, decide my offense to be forgiven, grant me certitude that fills in my heart and faith that removes doubt from me, make me feel satisfied with that which You decide for me, grant us reward in this world and reward in the Hereafter, save us from the torment of the burning Fire, and confer upon us at this night Your mentioning, thanking You, desiring for You, turning to You, and success to that to which You led Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, peace be upon him and them.

اللّٰهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي التَّجَافِيَ عَنْ دَارِ الْغُرُورِ وَ الْاِنَابَةَ اِلَى دَارِ الْخُلُودِ وَ الاسْتِعْدَادَ لِلْمَوْتِ قَبْلَ حُلُولِ الْفَوْتِ

O Allah, (please) present me alienation from the abode of delusion,turning to the abode of eternity,and readiness for death before it is too late.
