Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said: I asked the Messenger of Allah: O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it? He said, Say:

O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.


Note:
Laylat Al-Qadr or the Night of Power is anticipated during the last ten nights of Ramadan (20th-30th), more likely during the odd nights (21th, 23th, 25th, 27th, 29th) and even more likely during the 27th night. For this reason, its recommended to keep worship throughout the last 10 ten nights just as the prophet (may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and his companions did.

Allaahumma Innaka ‛afu-wun tuḥibul ‛afwa fa‛afu ‛anni

O Allah, guide me along with those whom You have guided, pardon me along with those whom You have pardoned, be an ally to me along with those whom You are an ally to and bless for me that which You have bestowed, protect me from the evil You have decreed. Indeed, You decree and none can decree over You. For surely, he whom you show allegiance to is never abased and he whom You take as an enemy is never honoured and mighty. O our Lord, Blessed and Exalted are You.

Notes:

*Allah does not create pure evil which does not have any good, benefit, wisdom or mercy at all, nor does He punish anyone without having committed a sin. Something can be good in terms of its creation when viewed in a particular perspective and at the same time be evil when viewed in another way. Allah created the devil and by him, He tests His slaves, so there are those who hate the devil, fight him and his way and they stand at enmity towards him and his followers, and there are others who are at allegiance with the devil and follow his steps. So evil exists in His creatures by His will and wisdom, not in His actions or act of creating.

*Qunoot Al-Witr is the supplication made before or after bowing in the witr prayer.

allaahum-ma-hdinee fee man hadayt, wa ‛aafinee fee man ‘aafayt, wa tawal-lanee fee man tawal-layt, wa baarik lee fee maa a‛ṭayt, wa qinee shar-ra maa qaḍayt, fa innaka taqḍee wa laa yuqḍaaa ‛alayk, innahu laa yadhillu man waalayt, wa laa ya‛izzu man ‛aadayt, tabaarakta rabbanaa wa ta‛aalayt

O Allah, I seek refuge with Your pleasure from Your displeasure and with Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge with You from Yourself. I can not enumerate Your praise, You are as You have praised Yourself.

Note: Qunoot Al-Witr is the supplication made before or after bowing in the witr prayer.

allaahumma innee a‛oodhu bi-riḍaaka min sakhaṭik, wa bi mu‛aafaatika min ‛uqoobatik, wa ’a‛oodhu bika mink, laa uḥṣee thanaa’an ‛alayk, anta kamaa athnayta ‛alaa nafsik

O Allah, it is You we worship, and unto You we pray and prostrate, and towards You we hasten and You we serve, we hope for Your mercy and fear Your punishment, verily Your punishment will fall upon the disbelievers.

O Allah, we seek Your aid and ask Your pardon, we praise You with all good and do not disbelieve in You. We believe in You and submit unto You, and we disown and reject those who disbelieve in You.

Note: Qunoot Al-Witr is the supplication made before or after bowing in the witr prayer.

allaa-humma iy-yaaka na‛bud, wa lak-a nu-ṣal-lee wa nas-jud, wa ’ilayk-a nas‛aaa wa naḥfid, narjoo raḥmatak-a , wanakhshaaa ‛adhaabak-a , inna ‛adhaabak-a bil-kaafireen-a mulḥaq

aalla-humma innaa nas-ta‛eenuk , wa nas-tagh-firuk, wa nuthnee ‛alaykal-khayr , wa laa nakfuruk , wa nu’minu bik, wa nakhḍa‛-u lak-a wanakhla‛-u man yakfuruk

After giving salam (of the witr prayer) he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would supplicate:

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is.

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is.

…on the third time he would raise his voice, elongate it and add:

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is. Lord of the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Jibreel).

subḥaan-al-malik-il-quddoos

subḥaan-al-malik-il-quddoos

subḥaan-al-malik-il-quddoos, rabbil-malaa’ikati war-rooḥ

My face fell prostrate before He who created it and brought forth its faculties of hearing and seeing by His might and power.

 sajad-a waj-hee lil-ladhee khalaqahu washaq-qa sam‛ahu wa-baṣarahu bi-ḥawlihi wa quwwatihi 

O Allah, record for me a reward for this (prostration), and remove from me a sin. Save it for me and accept it from me just as You had accepted it from Your slave Dawood (peace be upon him).

allaahumm-aktub lee bihaa ‛indaka ajr-an, wa ḍa‛ ‛annee bihaa wizr-an, waj‛alhaa lee ‛indaka dhukhr-an, wa taqabbalhaa minnee kamaa taqabbaltahaa min ‛abdika daawud

Othman Ibn Al-AAas narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), verily the devil comes between me and my prayer and recitation, making me confused.”

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, “That is a devil called Khanzab, so if you sense his presence then seek refuge in Allah from him,

(Say:)

"I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast."
(recite this in Arabic)

...and spit (A form of spitting comprising mainly of air with little spittle) on your left side three times.”

a‛oodhu billaahi minash-shayṭaanir-rajeem

Seeking Allah's forgiveness or any supplication a person may make.


*The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “The nearest the Lord is to His slave is in the last part of the night, so if you are able to be of those who remember Allah at that time, then be so.”

When you are about to eat, you should say:

“In the name of Allah.”



Notes:
*Brings blessing upon food or drink.
*Prevents the devil from partaking in food or drink

bismillaah

Whomever Allah feeds, should say:

“O Allah, bless it for us and feed us better than it.”

[this Dua is not to be said before drinking milk - see Dua 321]

allaahumma baarik lanaa feehi wa aṭ‛imnaa khayran minh

"All praise is for Allah who fed me this food and provided it for me without any might nor power from myself."

Note: Whoever says this supplication after finishing a meal, his/her preceding sins shall be forgiven as mentioned in the hadith.

alḥamdu lillaahil-ladhee aṭ‛amanee haadhaa aṭ‛aama wa razaqaneehi min ghayri ḥawlin minnee wa laa quwwah

“All praise is due to Allah, an abundant, good and blessed praise. He is The One who is sufficient, He feeds and is not fed. He is The One who is longed for, as well as that which is with Him, and He is The One who is needed, He is our Lord.”


Note: There are other views as regards to the understanding of this supplication, but the one mentioned here is the closest to the correct understanding, as per many of the recent and previous scholars.

alḥamdu lillaahi ḥamdan katheeran ṭayyiban mubaarakan feehi, ghayra makfiyyin wa laa muwadda‛in wa laa mustaghnanan ‛anhu rabbunaa

O Allah, bless for them, that which You have provided them, forgive them and have mercy upon them.

allaahumma baarik lahum fee maa razaqtahum, waghfir lahum war-ḥamhum

"O Allah, feed him who fed me, and provide drink to him who provided me with drink."


Note:
This Dua can be also said after having a meal at someone's house as a guest, or as an encouragement for someone to offer you food.

allaahumma aṭ‛im man aṭ‛amanee, wasqi man saqaanee

"May the fasting (people) break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food, and may the angels send prayers upon you."

Note:
This dua is not only specific to breaking the fast, but can be addressed at any time to the host when eating his or her food (as mentioned in The etiquettes of marriage by Al-Albani)

afṭara ‛indakum-uṣ-ṣaa’imoona wa akala ṭa‛aamakum-ul-abraaru, wa ṣallat ‛alaykum-ul-malaa’ikah

Abdullah Ibn Sarjis (RA) said: I went to see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and ate from his food and then said to him:

“May Allah forgive you, O Messenger of Allah.”

…he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied:

“and you (too).”

[For a male]
ghafar-allaahu lak

[For a female]
ghafar-allaahu laki

[Replying a male]
wa lak

[Replying to a female]
wa laki

O Allah you gave me food and drink, You had enriched (me) and sufficed (me), (You) had guided (me) and gave (me) life, therefore, I praise you for what you had given (me).

allaahumma aṭ‛amta wa asqayta, wa aghnayta wa aqnayta, wa hadayta wa ’aḥyayta, fa lakal ḥamdu ‛alaa maa a‛ṭayt

May the fasting (people) break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food, and may the angels send prayers upon you.

afṭara ‛indakum-uṣ-ṣaa’imoon, wa akala ṭa‛aamakum-ul-abraar, wa ṣallat ‛alaykum-ul-malaa’ikah

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from hunger, for it is the worst bedfellow.

And I seek refuge in You from treachery, for it is the worst of associates.

Allaa-humma in-ni a‛oodhu bi-ka mi-nal-joo‛, fa-’in-nahu bi’sal-ḍajee‛, wa a‛oodhu bik-ka mi-nal-khi-yaanah, fa-in-naha bi’sa-til-biṭaanah

The thirst has gone and the veins are moist, and reward is assured, if Allah wills.

Note:
Any other personal dua a person might want to make can be said as well at the time of Iftaar.

dhahab-aẓ-ẓama’u, wabtallat-il-‛urooqu, wa thabat-al-ajru in shaa’ allaah

Whomever Allah gives milk to drink should say:

“O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it.”

allaahumma baarik lanaa feehi wa zidnaa minh

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “If any one of you is invited (to a feast), he should accept (the invitation).

In case he is fasting he should supplicate (in order to bless the people in the house/host) and if he is not fasting he should eat."

Note: One can supplicate for their host in their own words.

I am fasting, I am fasting.
