Laylatul Qadr Dua List: Powerful Supplications and Acts of Giving

As Ramadan enters its final 10 nights, Muslims across the world prepare for the most sacred stretch of the year — and the chance to catch Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power. Described in the Qur’an as “better than a thousand months” (Surah Al-Qadr, 97:3), this night is an unparalleled opportunity for both spiritual connection and charitable action.

While dua (supplication) is at the heart of Laylatul Qadr, it’s also a time to give — quietly, generously, and with sincerity.

In this post, we’ve compiled a powerful Laylatul Qadr dua list, along with ideas for impactful giving, so you can make the most of every night.

🕌 Why These Nights Matter for Both Worship and Charity

The final 10 nights of Ramadan are filled with prayer, reflection, and immense reward. But charity holds a special place too — the Prophet ﷺ was described as “the most generous of people,” and even more so during Ramadan.

The two go hand in hand: giving softens the heart, supports those in need, and can be the very act that leads to forgiveness on this blessed night.

🤲 The Best Dua for Laylatul Qadr

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

Transliteration: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni
English: O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.

Taught by the Prophet ﷺ to Aisha (RA), this is the most recommended dua for Laylatul Qadr — brief, beautiful, and encompassing.

📜 Additional Duas + Giving Reflections

1. For Guidance & Mercy

“Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us…”
Give to causes that help guide others — Qur’an literacy, youth education, dawah organisations, or mental health support.

2. For Worship to Be Accepted

“Our Lord, accept this from us. You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”
Pair this dua with Zakat or Sadaqah — whether it’s a one-off donation or a recurring gift. Let your wealth be part of your worship.

3. For the Ummah

“O Allah, improve the condition of the Muslims…”
Donate to humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, or local poverty charities. Every pound can uplift a family.

4. For Jannah

“O Allah, make me among the people of Paradise.”
Support Sadaqah Jariyah projects — water wells, education centres, planting trees, or building mosques — to leave a legacy that lasts beyond this life.
