Imam Jafar As Sadiq (as) short dua’a 3 on the last night:

Sayyid Ibn Tawus has reported Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) as saying: As for anyone who bids farewell to the month of Ramadan with the following supplication, Almighty Allah will forgive him before morning and will confer upon him with the bliss of submission before Him (i.e. Almighty Allah):

اللّهُمّ لا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ العَهْدِ من صِيَامِي لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ،
allahumma la taj`alhu akhira al`ahdi mn siyamy lishahri ramazana
O Allah: (please) do not decide my observance of fasting in this month of Ramazan to be the last of my(life's) observance of fasting.

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ فَجْرُ هذِهِ اللّيْلَةِ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ غَفَرْتَ لِي
wa a`udhu bika an yatlu`a fajru hadhihi allaylati illa wa qad ghafarta le
I take refuge with Thee lest the dawn of this night breaks forth without me having been positively forgiven.

Sayyid ibna Taa-oos (R.A.) and Kaf-a’mee (R.A.) reports that the Holy Prophet (S.A.) had advised to pray a
10 Rak-a’t Salaat, in 5 sets of two Rak-a’t each,
on the last night of this month, as under:-
(i) In every Rak-a’t, after the reicitation of Soorah Al Faatih’ah, recite Soorah Al Ikhlaas 10 times.
(ii) In every “Rukoo” and “Sajdah” recite the Tasbihate arba following 10 times:
سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ،وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ،وَلا إلهَ إلاَّ اللّهُ،وَاللّهُ أَكْبَرُ.
subhana allahi,walhamdu lillahi,wa la ilaha illa allahu,wallahu akbar
All glory be to Allah;all praise be to Allah;there is no god save Allah;Allah is the Greatest.

After each 2 Rak`ahs, one may recite the Tashahhud and Taslem. After the accomplishment of the ten Rak`ahs, one may recite the Taslem and say the following one Thousand times:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إلَيْهِ.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I repent before Him.
astaghfiru allaha wa atubu ilayhi

After that, one may prostrate and say the following:
يَا حَيّ يَا قَيّومُ،
ya hayyu ya qayyumu
O Ever-Alive, O Eternal,

يَا ذَا الجَلالِ وَالإِكرَامِ،
ya dhaljalali wal-ikrami
O the Lord of Majesty and Honor.

يَارَحْمَانَ الدّنيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا،
yarahmana alddunya wal-akhirati wa rahimahuma
O the All-beneficent of this world and the Next World and the All-merciful of them;

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ،
ya arhama alrrahimina
O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

يَاإِلهَ الأَوّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ،
ya ilah al-awwalina wal-akhirina
O the God of the past and the coming generations;

اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا،
aghfir lana dhunubana
(Please) forgive us our sins,

وَتَقَبّلْ مِنَّا صَلاتَنَا وَصِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا.
wa taqabbl minna salatana wa siyamana wa qiyamana
And accept our prayers, fasting, and worship.

The Holy Prophet (a.s) then continues, “I swear by Him Who has sent me with the truth as Prophet; Archangel Gabriel has reported to me from Archangel Israfel who directly reports from Almighty Allah that one who offers that prayer will not raise his head from prostration before Almighty Allah would forgive him, accept his acts during the month of Ramadhan, and overlooks his sins... .”
Shaykh al-Kulayniy, in his book of „al-Kafi‟ has reported on the authority of Abu-Basir that Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)instructed that the following supplication might be said for bidding the month of Ramadan farewell:


اَللّهُمَّ إنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ:
allahumma innaka qulta fiy kitabika almunzali:
O Allah: You have said in Your revealed Book:

”شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ.“
“shahru Ramadhana alladhiy unzila fihi alqur’anu.”
“The month of Ramadhan in which the Quran was revealed…”

But I am still liable for a sin or an offense

تُريدُ أنْ تُعَذِّبَني عَلَيْها يَومَ ألْقاكَ.

يا اَللهُ يا أرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ،
ya aallhu ya arhama alrrahimina,
O Allah: O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy;

صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى أهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْمُبارَكِينَ الأخْيارِ
salli `ala muhammadin wa`ala ahli baytihi almubarakiina al-akhyari

وَسَلِّمْ تَسْليماً.
wa sallim tasliman.
And shower upon them thorough greeting.

It is You who hast opened for Your servants a door to Your pardon, which You have named 'repentance'.

وجعلْت على ذلِك الْبابِ دلِيلاً مِنْ وحْيِك لِئلاَّ يضِلُّوا عنْهُ فقُلْت تبارك اسْمُك:
wa ja'l-ta `ala dhalikal-babi dalilam-miw-wah-yika li-al-la yadil-lu `an-hu faqul-ta tabaraka as-muka:
You have placed upon that door a pointer from Your revelation, lest they stray from it: You have said (blessed are Your names),

(تُوبُوا إِلى اللّهِ توْبةً نصُوحاً)
(tubu ilal-lahi taw-batan-nasuhana
(Repent toward Allah with unswerving repentance!

عسى ربُّكُمْ أنْ يُكفِّر عنْكُمْ سيِّئاتِكُمْ ويُدْخِلكُمْ جنّاتٍ تجْرِي مِنْ تحْتِها الأنْهار)

إِنّك على كُلِّ شيءٍ قدِيرٌ)
in-naka `ala kul-li shay-in qadirun)
Surely You are powerful over everything.)'

فما عُذْرُ منْ أغْفل دُخُول ذلِك الْمنْزِلِ بعْد فتْحِ الْبابِ وإِقامةِ الدّلِيلِ؟
fama `udh-ru man agh-fala dukhula dhalikal-manzili ba'-da fat-hil-babi wa iqamatid-dalili?
What is the excuse of him who remains heedless of entering that house after the opening of the door and the setting up of the pointer?

wa antal-ladhi zit-ta fis-saw-mi `ala naf-sika lii'badika turid

their profit in their trade with You,

وفوْزهُمْ بِالْوِفادةِ عليْك والزِّيادةِ مِنْك
wa faw-zahum bil-wifadati `alay-ka waz-ziadati mink
their triumph through reaching You and their increase on account of You,

فقُلْت تبارك اسْمُك وتعاليْت:
faqul-ta tabaraka as-muka wa ta'alay-ta:
for You have said (blessed is Your Name and high art You exalted),

(منْ جاء بِالْحسنةِ فلهُ عشْرُ أمْثالِها
(man ja-a bil-hasanati falahu `ash-ru am-thaliha
(whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it, and

ومنْ جاء بِالسّيِّئةِ فلا يُجْزى إِلاَّ مِثْلها) وقُلْت:
waman ja-a bis-say-yi-ati fala yuj-za il-la mith-laha) wa qult:
those brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it). You have said,

(مثلُ الّذِين يُنْفِقُون أمْوالهُمْ فِي سبِيلِ اللّهِ كمثلِ حبّةٍ أنْبتتْ سبْع سنابِل فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلةٍ مِائةُ حبّةٍ واللّهُ يُضاعِفُ لِمنْ يشاءُ)
(mathalul-ladhina yunfiquna am-walahum fi sabilil-lahi kamathali hab-batin ambatat sab-`a sanabila fi kul-li sumbulatim-mia-atu hab-batiw-wal-lahu yudai'fu limay-yasha-u)
(The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain of corn that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains; so Allah multiplies unto whom He wills).

وقُلْت: (منْ ذا الّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللّه قرْضاً حسناً فيُضاعِفهُ لهُ أضْعافاً كثِيرةً)
waqul-ta: (man dhal-ladhi yuq-ridul-laha qar-dana hasanana fayudai'fahu lahu ad-`afana kathiratah)
You have said: (Who is he that will lend to Allah a good loan, and He will multiply it for him manifold?)

وما أنْزلْت مِن نظائِرِهِنّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ تضاعِيفِ الْحسناتِ
wa ma anzal-ta min naza-irihin-na fil-qur-ani min tadae’efil-hasanat
And You have sent down in the Quran similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds.

وأنْت الّذِي دللْتهُمْ بِقوْلِك مِنْ غيْبِك وترْغِيبِك الّذِي فِيهِ حظُّهُمْ على ما لوْ سترْتهُ عنْهُمْ
wa antal-ladhi dalal-tahum biqaw-lika min ghay-bika wa tar-ghibikal-ladhi fihi haz-zuhum `ala ma law satar-tahu `an-hum
It is You who hast pointed them through Your speech from Your Unseen and Your encouragement in which lies their good fortune toward that which— hadst You covered it from them—

لمْ تُدْرِكْهُ أبْصارُهُمْ
lam tud-rik-hu ab-saruhum-
their eyes would not have perceived,

ولمْ تعِهِ أسْماعُهُمْ
wa lam tai'hie as-ma`uhum-
their ears would not have heard, and

ولمْ تلْحقْهُ أوْهامُهُمْ فقُلْت:
wa lam tal-haq-hu aw-hamuhum-
their imaginations would not have grasped,

faqul-ta:
for You have said,

(اذْكُرُونِي أذْكُرْكُمْ
(udh-kurunie adh-kur-kum-
( Remember Me, and I will remember you

واشْكُرُوا لِي ولا تكْفُرُونِ ) وقُلْت:
wa ash-kuru li wa la tak-furun) waqul-ta:
be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me!) You have said,

(لئِنْ شكرْتُمْ لأزِيدنّكُمْ
(la-in shakar-tum lazidannakum
( If you are thankful, surely I will increase you,

ولئِنْ كفرْتُمْ إِنّ عذابِي لشدِيدٌ) وقُلْت:
wala-in kafar-tum in-na `adhabi lashadid) wa qul-ta:
but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible); And You have said,

(ادْعُونِي أسْتجِبْ لكُمْ إِنّ الّذِين يسْتكْبِرُون عنْ عِبادتِي سيدْخُلُون جهنّم داخِرِين )
(ud-`uwnie as-tajib lakum in-nal-ladhina yas-tak-biruna `an i'badati sayad-khuluna jahan-nama dakhirin)
(Supplicate Me, and I will respond to you; surely those who wax too proud to worship Me shall enter GAHENNAM utterly abject).

فسمّيْت دُعاءك عِبادةً
fasam-may-ta du`aa-aka i'badah
Hence You have named supplicating You 'worship'

وترْكهُ اسْتِكْباراً
wa tar-kahu as-tik-bara
and refraining from it 'waxing proud', and

وتوعّدْت على ترْكِهِ دُخُول جهنّم داخِرِين
wa tawa'-`at-ta `ala tar-kihi dukhula jahan-nama dakhirin
You have threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into GAHENNAM in utterLY abject.

فذكرُوك بِمنِّك
fadhakaruka biman-nik
So they remember You for Your kindness,

وشكرُوك بِفضْلِك
wa shakaruka bifad-lik
they thank You for Your bounty,

ودعوْك بِأمْرِك
wa da'w-ka bi m-rik
they supplicate You by Your command, and

وتصدّقُوا لك طلباً لِمزِيدِك
wa tasad-daqu laka talabal-limazidik
they donate for You in order to seek Your increase;

وفِيها كانتْ
wa fiha kanat
in all this lies

نجاتُهُمْ مِنْ غضبِك
najatuhum min ghadabik
their deliverance from Your wrath and

وفوْزُهُمْ بِرِضاك
wa faw-zuhum biridak
their triumph through Your good pleasure.

ولوْ دلّ مخْلُوقٌ مخْلُوقاً مِنْ نفْسِهِ على مِثْلِ الّذِي دللْت عليْهِ عِبادك مِنْك كان
wa law dal-la makh-luqum-makh-luqam-min-naf-sihi `ala mith-lil-ladhi dalal-ta `alay-hi i'badaka minka kana
Were any creature himself to direct another creature to the like of that to which You Thyself hast directed Your servants, he would be

موْصُوفاً بِالإِحْسانِ
maw-sufam-bil-ih-san
described by beneficence

ومنْعُوتاً بِالامْتِنانِ
wa man-`uwtam-biiam-tinan
qualified by kindness, and

ومحْمُوداً بِكُلِّ لِسانٍ
wa mah-mudam-bikul-li lisan
praised by every tongue.

فلك الْحمْدُ

So to You belongs praise

ما وُجِد فِي حمْدِك مذْهبٌ
ma wujida fi ham-dika madh-hab
as long as there is found a way to praise You and

وما بقِي لِلْحمْدِ لفْظٌ تُحْمدُ بِهِ ومعْنًى ينْصرِفُ إِليْهِ
wa ma baqi lil-ham-di laf-zun tuh-madu bihi wa ma'-nana yansarifu ilay-h
as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise!

يا منْ تحمّد إِلى عِبادِهِ بِالإِحْسانِ والْفضْلِ
ya man taham-mada ila i'badihi bil-ih-sani wal-fadli
O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty,

وغمرهُمْ بِالْمنِّ والطّوْلِ
wa ghamarahum bil-man-ni wat-taw-l
flooding them with kindness and graciousness

ما أفْشى فِينا نِعْمتك؟

How much Your favor has been spread about among us,

وأسْبغ عليْنا مِنّتك؟
