The du'a of Laylatul Qadr
ٱللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ ٱلْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni
O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.
What this supplication is
The dua the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) for the night of Laylatul Qadr: O Allah, You are pardoning and love pardon, so pardon me. Short, memorisable, and the crown of the last ten nights.
When to recite it
Throughout the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially the odd nights.
Duas are a mercy in themselves — sincerity of heart matters more than eloquence. For a personal religious ruling about this supplication or your circumstances, consult a qualified scholar.
