رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ
Our Lord! Grant us what You didst promise unto us through Your apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: For You never breakest Your promise.‟1 „
Our Lord! Twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we established our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?‟2 „
Our Lord! Avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous.‟3 „Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous.‟4

Dua'a for 27th Ramadhan until end of Ramadan-Imam Zain ul Abideen(as)
It has been narrated that Imam `Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-`Abidin (`a) used to repeat the following prayer throughout this night. The dua seeks 'Tajafi' a state of readiness to leave this material world (eg. as in the congregation prayer when u have joined in 2nd rakat & while in tashahud & are ready to rise up). In this position only the very necessary parts of the body touch the ground ,indicating minimum attachment to the world. Tajafi Image |Exposition
Alternate Translation : O' Allah please bestow upon me the divine grace so that I become disgusted with this world - the House of deception - and become attracted towards the Hereafter - the House of Eternity - and before the arrival of my death, should make myself readied for the journey towards the Next world.”
Second Dua 27th Night-Companions Sayyed Ibn Tawus-Iqbal Amaal
“Praise be to God, Who created His New Phenomenon by His Power, Ruled the affairs with His Might, Did Justice without oppression, was Fair and did not incline away from fairness.
How could He oppress or be unfair to one whom He has called weak and poor, and has made him aware of his greatest need being His Pleasure, and has invited to enjoy the most from His Forgiveness, has paved the way to walk on this Path and has ordered us to do so with good deeds?
No. He cannot be accused of tyranny since He has ordered to have mercy, promised the servants punishment for oppression, chastisement for committing sins and reward for those who admonish against it.
He is even kinder to them than a bird is to its newborns! God is Sublime and indeed He is exalted above what the evil-doers say! „Exalted and Great (beyond measure)!‟1
Glory be to Him who made me fast by abstaining from food and drinks so that He may save me from the march of painful torture and released me from Chastisement with the reward He granted me for the obligatory fast.
O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (MGB) – the Immaculate, the pure ones and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
