Dua for the Last Ten Nights

A simple plan

• Pray Isha and Taraweeh in congregation.
• Rest, then rise in the last third of the night.
• Qur’an, then long sujood, then personal dua.
• Repeat the Laylat al-Qadr dua.
• End with Suhoor and Fajr.

Transliteration is a guide only; recite from the Arabic where you can. References are given so you can verify each wording.

Combine Qur’anic and prophetic supplications

The final nights are suitable for broad dua about this life and the next, forgiveness, guidance and family. A structured list can help memory, but spontaneous personal dua in one’s own language is also meaningful.

A focused last-ten list

Prepare several categories before the final nights: forgiveness, guidance, family, debts and rights, health, beneficial work, protection from harm and the Hereafter. This prevents the late-night worship period from becoming an unfocused scroll through copied lists.

Avoid invented promises

No page should promise that reciting a particular dua a fixed number of times will guarantee money, marriage or a specific worldly result unless there is reliable evidence for that claim.

Do not assign an invented dua to each night

Some online lists publish a different mandatory-looking formula for nights 21 through 30 without evidence. This page instead prioritises established supplications and personal dua. Users can repeat the same authentic wording across multiple nights.

Match the dates correctly

The 21st night begins after Maghrib at the end of the 20th fasting day. If the local first fast differs from the site’s projected date, every civil date in the last-ten-night plan moves with it.

Build a personal list

Include forgiveness, guidance, family, health, lawful provision and concerns specific to your life. Personal dua does not need to be literary or long; accuracy matters most when claiming that a wording came from the Qur’an or Sunnah.
