Ramadan Tips, Plans, & Challenge.

Day Twenty - two - Du'as to do for the last ten days

بِسْــــــــــــــــــــــمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم

The Prophet (ﷺ) was known to pay special devotion to Allah (SWT) during the last 10 days of Ramadan, his most beloved wife Aisha (ra) noting, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." [Muslim]

- This is, without doubt, a special time and we should all follow our beloved Prophet's (ﷺ) example, entering these last 10 days of Ramadan with a renewed sense of commitment and fierce devotion.

We can make the most of the last 10 days of Ramadan and show our devotion by exerting ourselves to perform as many good deeds as possible; reciting the Qur'an, praying during the night, giving charity and making dua.

Our supplications during the last 10 days of Ramadan are exceptionally special. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Dua is the essence of worship." [Tirmidhi] and in these last 10 days of Ramadan Allah (SWT) generously multiplies the blessings you receive for your worship.

To help you maximise your worship and embrace all the blessings Allah (SWT) has laid out for us, we have compiled a list of some of the best duas for the last 10 days of Ramadan.

These duas for the last 10 days of Ramadan will be sure to maximise the impact of your supplications and close out the blessed month in the most beautiful way.

Maximise your worship

Dua for the Night of Power

This dua should be recited on Laylatul Qadr, so it is the best dua for the last 10 days of Ramadan. Recite this dua every night, as much as you can, over these last 10 days of Ramadan to receive Allah's (SWT) mercy.

الْلَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

Allaahumma innaka 'afuwwun, tuhibb al-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni

"O Allah, You are the Most forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me."

Dua for protection

Asking for Allah's (SWT) protection during Ramadan is important, and in doing so we can seek protection from hellfire.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رِضَاكَ وَالجَنَّةَ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَالنَّارِ

Allaahumma innee as-aluka Ridaaka wal Jannah wa a'audhu'bika min sakhatika wan-naar

O Allah, I ask of Your pleasure and for Paradise, and I seek refuge from Your displeasure and from the Hellfire.

Dua for after your fast

You can recite this dua throughout the last 10 days of Ramadan once you have broken your fast in the evenings to give thanks to Allah (SWT) and seek His blessings.

‏‏ ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Dhahabaz Zama'u wab tal latil uruqoo wa thabbatal ajru inshaAllah

Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills.
