When RAMADAN Starts ?

In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful

O Allah! I beseech Thee by Thy mercy which encompasses all things [1]

And by Thy power by which Thou overcometh all things and submit to it all things and humble before it all things [2]

And by Thy might by which thou hast conquered all things [3]

And by Thy majesty against which nothing can stand up [4]

And by Thy grandeur which prevails upon all things [5]

And by Thy authority which is exercised over all things [6]

And by Thy own self that shall endure forever after all things have vanished [7]

And by Thy Names which manifest Thy power over all things [8]

And by Thy knowledge which pervades all things [9]

And by the light of Thy countenance which illuminates everything [10]

O Thou who art the light! O Thou who art the most holy! O Thou who existed before the foremost! O Thou who shall exist after the last! [11]

O Allah! Forgive me my such sins as would affront my continency [12]

O Allah! Forgive me my such sins as would bring down calamity [13]

O Allah! Forgive me my such sins as would change divine favours (into disfavours) [14]

O Allah! Forgive me my such sins as would hinder my supplication [15]

O Allah! Forgive me such sins as bring down misfortunes (or afflictions) [16]

O Allah! Forgive my such sins as would suppress hope [17]

O Allah! Forgive every sin that I have committed and every error that I have erred [18]

O Allah! I endeavour to draw myself nigh to Thee through Thy invocation [19]

And I pray to Thee to intercede on my behalf [20]

And I entreat Thee by Thy benevolence to draw me nearer to Thee [21]

And grant me that I should be grateful to Thee and inspire me to remember and to invoke Thee [22]

O Allah! I entreat Thee begging Thee submissively, humbly and awestrickenly [23]

To treat me with clemency and mercy, and to make me pleased and contented with what Thou hast allotted to me [24]

And cause me to be modest and unassuming in all circumstances [25]

O Allah! I beg Thee as one who is passing through extreme privation and who supplicates his needs to Thee and his hope has been greatly raised by that which is with Thee [26]
