25. Eve Of The 12th Of The Month Of Ramadan
The significance of this too can be found in the supplication of aforementioned book as follows:
اللهم إني أسألك بمعاقد العز من عرشك، ومنتهى الرحمة من كتابك، وباسمك الأعظم، وكلماتك التامة، التي لا يجاوزهن بر ولا فاجر فإنك لا تبيد ولا تنفد، أن تصلي على محمد وآل محمد، وتقبل مني ومن جميع المؤمنين والمؤمنات صيام شهر رمضان وقيامه، وتفك رقابنا من النار، اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد، واجعل قلبي بارا، وعملي سارا، ورزقي دارا، وحوض نبيك عليه وآله السلام لي قرارا ومستقرا وتعجل فرج آل محمد في عافية يا أرحم الراحمين.
O Allah, indeed I ask You in the name of the greatness of Your throne and the limit of mercy in Your Book, and through the great names and Your perfect words such that no good or bad is beyond it. That indeed You don’t have annihilation or end. That You bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and accept from me and from all the believers men and women, fasts of the month of Ramadan, and prayers in it and free us from Hellfire.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and make my heart good, my actions acceptable and my sustenance widen and make the pool of Your Prophet – peace be on him and his family – my place of halting and make me stay there; and hasten with ease the relief of the progeny of Muhammad. O the most merciful of the merciful ones.1
