الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَمَّلَ صِيَامِي أَيَّامَ شَهْرِهِ الشَّرِيفِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِفْطَارٍ وَ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِي فِيهِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِدْبَارٍ وَ اسْتَنْهَضَنِي إِلَيْهِ لِلِاعْتِرَافِ بِذُنُوبِي مِنْ غَيْرِ إِصْرَارٍ [إِضْرَارٍ] وَ أَوْجَبَ لِي بِإِنْعَامِهِ الْإِقَالَةَ مِنَ الْعِثَارِ وَ وَفَّقَنِي لِلْقِيَامِ فِي لَيَالِيهِ إِلَيْهِ دَاعِياً وَ لَهُ مُنَادِياً أَسْتَوْهِبُ وَ أَسْتَمِيحُ الْعُيُوبَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ بِأَسْمَائِهِ وَ أَسْتَشْفِعُ بِآلَائِهِ وَ أَتَذَلَّلُ بِكِبْرِيَائِهِ وَ هُوَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ يَصْرِفُنِي بِقُوَّةِ الرَّجَاءِ وَ التَّأْمِيلِ عَنِ الشَّكِّ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ لِتَضَرُّعِي إِلَى التَّحْصِيلِ ثِقَةً بِجُودِهِ وَ رَأْفَتِهِ وَ سَعْياً لِإِشْفَاقِهِ وَ عَطْفِهِ
“Praise be to God, Who completed my fasting on the days of the honorable month without me violating any of my fast. He helped me turn to His Obedience without any turning away. He helped me confess to my sins without insisting on sinning. He made sure I benefit from His Forgiveness of my faults. He granted me success to stay up at nights to pray and recite supplications. I ask Him to forgive and cover up my faults. I seek nearness to Him using His Names and seek His Intercession using His Bounties and express humbleness to His Magnificence. Blessed is His Name for all that He removes from me with the power of hope and aspiration - regarding doubting His Mercy. So that I cry and He directs me to His Kindness and Love with trust in His Benevolence and Kindness.

O‟ my God! This is Your Month that is finished and gone. It is the fasting that has completed and finished. It came but our souls detested it for the sake of their pleasures and their dislike of abandoning their bad habits. However, once it arrived, it humbled us with having to obey it, and let us move along and ask for its mercy. Then our fasting in the days were mentioned to You and our staying up at nights was shown to You. The hearts feared, the sins left, the faces humbled, and the hands were raised to express sorrow for faults, confess to sins, ask for pardoning of wrongdoings, expression of frivolties and request for toleration of mischief. Then You had Mercy, were Kind, covered up, forgave, overlooked and bestowed. Then we liked Ramadhan and became accustomed to it and became sad when we had to depart from it. Then peace be on the month I say farewell to which I have entrusted good deeds, the month that made me closer to You, the month that brought me Booties due to Your Favor, and eliminated my past disgrace near You, removed many abominable things, expanded good deeds, developed benefits, and increased its gifts: A farewell with what leaves behind its good, helped with its blessedness and bestowed its gifts.

O‟ my God! All my praise belongs to You – praise from one who does not fool himself with restlessness, does not deny the blessings that You bestowed on him or hindered from him, and asks You to keep him away from the slippages and help him completely staying away from them. Please accept it from me by easing what can bring me close to Your Kind Pleasure. Please look upon me as one who looks kindly. O‟ Full of Kindness, Most Merciful!

O‟ my God! Please let Your Forgiveness follow me after this month. Please secure me from Your Punishment from which I fear. Please protect me from the various chastisements I evade. Please let its end be good for me with the gifts You bestow on me. Please intercede regarding what I demand, alleviate my poverty, fend off my misery, approach my prosperity, and fill my hands with good deeds in both worlds - with the best of what You fill the hands of those who ask, and fulfill the hopes of those who have hopes. And grant me Your Forgiveness and Pleasure regarding my parents and all the believing men and women, and mention them nicely so as to bestow on their souls the joy of Your Pleasure, let them taste the sweetness of Your Forgiveness, and let them enjoy the Gardens of Your Paradise under the shade of its trees, and besides its rivers, with the various fruits, much of its good, balanced meals, various pleasures, and outstanding blessings. Please let us live to see this month next year by destroying our sins and faults and let it be a path, and a guide for us towards You. O‟ the Most Powerful! O‟ the Most Benevolent of those who are asked!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي كُلَّمَا لَفَظْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ مِنْ تَمْجِيدٍ وَ تَحْمِيدٍ وَ وَصْفٍ لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ إِقْرَارٍ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِرْضَائِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي [وَ أَرْضَاكَ مِنْ نَصَبِي] إِلَيْكَ وَ مِنْ إِقْبَالٍ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ فَهُوَ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا قَاضِيَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَيْسَرِ نِعَمِكَ لَا نُكَافِيكَ ثُمَّ بِهِدَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَفَارَتِهِ وَ إِرْشَادِهِ وَ دَلَالَتِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ عِنْدَكَ وَ عَلَيْنَا مَا شَرَّفْتَهُ بِهِ [فِيهِ] وَ أَوْعَزْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا
O‟ my God! All exaltation, praise, glorifications, expression of Your Might, confession to Your Oneness, pleasing You by turning to You, and turning towards Your glorifications were only made possible by Your Help. All praise belongs to You. O‟ He who destines what pleases You although we have not even thanked You for Your smallest blessings. You established a right for Your Prophet Muhammad (as) for his guidance, messengership and advice by which You honored him and ordered us.
اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ لِهِدَايَتِنَا عَلَماً وَ إِلَيْكَ لَنَا طَرِيقاً وَ سُلَّماً وَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ مَلْجَأً وَ مُعْتَصَماً وَ فِينَا شَفِيعاً مُقَدَّماً وَ مُشَفَّعاً مُكَرَّماً وَ كَانَ لَا مُكَافَاةَ لَهُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَا اتِّكَالَ مِنْ مُجَازَاتِهِ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ كُنَّا عَنْ حَقِّهِ بِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَمْوَالِنَا مُقَصِّرِينَ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ وَ عَنْهَا مِنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ وَ لَسْنَا إِلَى تَأَتِّيهِ [مَا بِهِ] بِوَاصِلِينَ وَ لَا عَلَيْهَا بِقَادِرِينَ فَاجْزِهِ عَنَّا بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَطْيَبِ تَحِيَّاتِكَ
O‟ my God! You have let him be a signpost to guide us, a path towards You, a resting place and shelter from Your Wrath, an honored interceder on our behalf. We cannot recompense him except through You, and cannot rely on anyone but You from his punishment. We have failed to properly honor his right with our wealth and life. He was abstinent and was not inclined to this world and we are not able to fulfill his right. Please bestow on him the best of Your Blessings and the purest of Your Greetings.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةً تَمُدُّهُ مِنْكَ بِشَرَائِفِ حَبَوَاتِكَ وَ كَرَائِمِ عَطِيَّاتِكَ وَ مَوْفُورِ خَيْرَاتِكَ وَ مَيْسُورِ هِبَاتِكَ صَلَاةً تَكْثُرُ وَ تَكْشِفُ حَتَّى لَا تَنْقَطِعَ وَ لَا تَضْعُفَ صَلَاةً تَتَدَارَكُ وَ تَتَّصِلُ حَتَّى لَا تَخْتَلَّ وَ لَا تَنْفَصِلَ صَلَاةً تَتَوَالَى وَ تَتَّسِقُ حَتَّى لَا تَتَشَعَّبَ وَ لَا تَفْتَرِقَ صَلَاةً تَدُومُ وَ تَتَوَاتَرُ وَ تَتَضَاعَفُ وَ تَتَكَاثَرُ وَ تَزِنُ الْجِبَالَ وَ تَعَادُّ الرِّمَالَ صَلَاةً تُجَارِي النَّيِّرَاتِ فِي أَفْلَاكِهَا وَ الْقُدْرَةَ الَّتِي قَامَتْ بِأَسْمَاكِهَا صَلَاةً تُنَافِي الرِّيَاحَ وَ النُّجُومَ وَ الشَّمُوسَ وَ الغُيُومَ وَ وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ وَ أَلْفَاظَ الْبَشَرِ وَ تَسْبِيحَ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ مِنَ الْمَاضِينَ وَ الْبَاقِينَ وَ مَنْ يُخْلَقُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ثُمَّ أَسْتَوْدِعُهَا تَعَارُفَ الْعَامِلِينَ الَّذِي [ثُمَّ أَسْتَوْدِعُهَا تَعَارُفَ الْعَالَمِينَ الَّذِي] لَيْسَ لَهُ فَنَاءٌ وَ لَا حَدٌّ وَ لَا انْتِهَاءٌ
O‟ my God! Please bestow blessings on him – blessings with which You bestow Your most Honorable Gifts, Your Noblest Grants, Extensive Goods, and Easy Donations. Such extensive and apparent Blessings that do not end or weaken. Such continous Blessings that do not get interrupted or stopped. Such consecutive and connected blessings that do not get dispersed or disconnected. Such blessings that are continous, consecutive, multiplying, increasing, as heavy as the mountains, as many in number as the pieces of sand. Such blessings that flow along with the stars in the sky, with the power with which the heavens are raised above. Such as the blessings by the wind, stars, suns, clouds, leaves of the trees, words of men, glorifications of all the creatures from the past and the rest including those to be created up until the Day of Religion. Then I send it to the One all the people of the world know – God who has no end, no extent and no limit.
اللَّهُمَّ فَأَوْصِلْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ إِلَى آبَائِهِ وَ آبَاءِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
O‟ my God! Please let this reach Muhammad and his Progeny (as) – the immaculate, on his forefathers, and the forefathers of Abraham (as), Ishmael (as) and Issac (as), and on all the Prophets (as), the martyrs and the righteous ones, and on Gabriel, Michael, the bearers of Your Throne, and the angels – may Your Blessings be upon them all. „ (Allah) sufficeth me: there is no God but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!‟1

اللَّهُمَّ عَقِّبْ عَلَيَّ بِغُفْرَانِكَ فِي عُقْبَاهُ وَ آمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ مَا أَخْشَاهُ وَ قِنِي مِنْ صُنُوفِهِ مَا أَتَوَقَّاهُ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي فِي خَاتِمَتِهِ بِخَيْرٍ تُجْزِلُ مِنْهُ عَطِيَّتِي وَ تَشْفَعُ فِيهِ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ تَسُدُّ بِهِ فَاقَتِي وَ تَنْفِي بِهِ شِقْوَتِي وَ تُقَرِّبُ بِهِ سَعَادَتِي وَ تَمْلَأُ يَدِي مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الدَّارَيْنِ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا مَلَأْتَ بِهِ يَدَ سَائِلٍ وَ رَجَعْتَ بِهِ أَمَلَ آمِلٍ وَ تَمْنَحُنِي فِي وَالِدَيَّ وَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغُفْرَانَ وَ الرِّضْوَانَ وَ تَذْكُرُهُمْ مِنْكَ بِإِحْسَانٍ تُنِيلُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ مَسَرَّةَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ تُوصِلُ إِلَيْهَا لَذَّةَ غُفْرَانِكَ وَ تَرْعَاهَا فِي رِيَاضِ جِنَانِكَ بَيْنَ ظِلَالِ أَشْجَارِهَا وَ جَدَاوِلِ أَنْهَارِهَا وَ هَنِيءِ ثِمَارِهَا وَ كَثِيرِ خَيْرَاتِهَا وَ اسْتِوَاءِ أَوْقَاتِهَا وَ صُنُوفِ لَذَّاتِهَا وَ سَابِغِ بَرَكَاتِهَا وَ أَحْيِنَا لِوُرُودِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ عَائِذاً فِي قَابِلِ عَامِنَا بِهَدْمِ أَوْزَارِنَا وَ آثَامِنَا إِلَى الْقُرُبَاتِ مِنْكَ سَبِيلًا وَ عَلَيْهَا دَلِيلًا وَ إِلَيْهَا رَسِيلًا يَا أَقْدَرَ الْقَادِرِينَ وَ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْمَسْئُولِينَ

O‟ the Most Benevolent of those who are asked!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي كُلَّمَا لَفَظْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ مِنْ تَمْجِيدٍ وَ تَحْمِيدٍ وَ وَصْفٍ لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ إِقْرَارٍ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِرْضَائِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي [وَ أَرْضَاكَ مِنْ نَصَبِي] إِلَيْكَ وَ مِنْ إِقْبَالٍ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ فَهُوَ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا قَاضِيَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَيْسَرِ نِعَمِكَ لَا نُكَافِيكَ ثُمَّ بِهِدَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَفَارَتِهِ وَ إِرْشَادِهِ وَ دَلَالَتِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ عِنْدَكَ وَ عَلَيْنَا مَا شَرَّفْتَهُ بِهِ [فِيهِ] وَ أَوْعَزْتَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا
O‟ my God! All exaltation, praise, glorifications, expression of Your Might, confession to Your Oneness, pleasing You by turning to You, and turning towards Your glorifications were only made possible by Your Help. All praise belongs to You. O‟ He who destines what pleases You although we have not even thanked You for Your smallest blessings. You established a right for Your Prophet Muhammad (as) for his guidance, messengership and advice by which You honored him and ordered us.
اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ لِهِدَايَتِنَا عَلَماً وَ إِلَيْكَ لَنَا طَرِيقاً وَ سُلَّماً وَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ مَلْجَأً وَ مُعْتَصَماً وَ فِينَا شَفِيعاً مُقَدَّماً وَ مُشَفَّعاً مُكَرَّماً وَ كَانَ لَا مُكَافَاةَ لَهُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَا اتِّكَالَ مِنْ مُجَازَاتِهِ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ كُنَّا عَنْ حَقِّهِ بِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَمْوَالِنَا مُقَصِّرِينَ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ وَ عَنْهَا مِنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ وَ لَسْنَا إِلَى تَأَتِّيهِ [مَا بِهِ] بِوَاصِلِينَ وَ لَا عَلَيْهَا بِقَادِرِينَ فَاجْزِهِ عَنَّا بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَطْيَبِ تَحِيَّاتِكَ
O‟ my God! You have let him be a signpost to guide us, a path towards You, a resting place and shelter from Your Wrath, an honored interceder on our behalf. We cannot recompense him except through You, and cannot rely on anyone but You from his punishment. We have failed to properly honor his right with our wealth and life. He was abstinent and was not inclined to this world and we are not able to fulfill his right. Please bestow on him the best of Your Blessings and the purest of Your Greetings.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةً تَمُدُّهُ مِنْكَ بِشَرَائِفِ حَبَوَاتِكَ وَ كَرَائِمِ عَطِيَّاتِكَ وَ مَوْفُورِ خَيْرَاتِكَ وَ مَيْسُورِ هِبَاتِكَ صَلَاةً تَكْثُرُ وَ تَكْشِفُ حَتَّى لَا تَنْقَطِعَ وَ لَا تَضْعُفَ صَلَاةً تَتَدَارَكُ وَ تَتَّصِلُ حَتَّى لَا تَخْتَلَّ وَ لَا تَنْفَصِلَ صَلَاةً تَتَوَالَى وَ تَتَّسِقُ حَتَّى لَا تَتَشَعَّبَ وَ لَا تَفْتَرِقَ صَلَاةً تَدُومُ وَ تَتَوَاتَرُ وَ تَتَضَاعَفُ وَ تَتَكَاثَرُ وَ تَزِنُ الْجِبَالَ وَ تَعَادُّ الرِّمَالَ صَلَاةً تُجَارِي النَّيِّرَاتِ فِي أَفْلَاكِهَا وَ الْقُدْرَةَ الَّتِي قَامَتْ بِأَسْمَاكِهَا صَلَاةً تُنَافِي الرِّيَاحَ وَ النُّجُومَ وَ الشَّمُوسَ وَ الغُيُومَ وَ وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ وَ أَلْفَاظَ الْبَشَرِ وَ تَسْبِيحَ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ مِنَ الْمَاضِينَ وَ الْبَاقِينَ وَ مَنْ يُخْلَقُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ثُمَّ أَسْتَوْدِعُهَا تَعَارُفَ الْعَامِلِينَ الَّذِي [ثُمَّ أَسْتَوْدِعُهَا تَعَارُفَ الْعَالَمِينَ الَّذِي] لَيْسَ لَهُ فَنَاءٌ وَ لَا حَدٌّ وَ لَا انْتِهَاءٌ
O‟ my God! Please bestow blessings on him – blessings with which You bestow Your most Honorable Gifts, Your Noblest Grants, Extensive Goods, and Easy Donations. Such extensive and apparent Blessings that do not end or weaken. Such continous Blessings that do not get interrupted or stopped. Such consecutive and connected blessings that do not get dispersed or disconnected. Such blessings that are continous, consecutive, multiplying, increasing, as heavy as the mountains, as many in number as the pieces of sand. Such blessings that flow along with the stars in the sky, with the power with which the heavens are raised above. Such as the blessings by the wind, stars, suns, clouds, leaves of the trees, words of men, glorifications of all the creatures from the past and the rest including those to be created up until the Day of Religion. Then I send it to the One all the people of the world know – God who has no end, no extent and no limit.
اللَّهُمَّ فَأَوْصِلْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ إِلَى آبَائِهِ وَ آبَاءِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
O‟ my God! Please let this reach Muhammad and his Progeny (as) – the immaculate, on his forefathers, and the forefathers of Abraham (as), Ishmael (as) and Issac (as), and on all the Prophets (as), the martyrs and the righteous ones, and on Gabriel, Michael, the bearers of Your Throne, and the angels – may Your Blessings be upon them all. „ (Allah) sufficeth me: there is no God but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!‟1
