بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillāhir-raḥmānir-raḥīm innā anzalnāhu fī laylati al-qadr wa mā adrāk mā laylatu al-qadr laylatu al-qadri khayrun min alfi shahr tanazzalul malā’ikatu wa-r-rūḥu fīhā bi-idhni rabbihim min kulli amr salāmun hiya ḥattā maṭlai al-fajr.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَـٰئِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
[Qur’an 97:1-5]

“With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari
"Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari

Allahumma innaka ‘afuwun karīm, tuḥibb al-‘afwa fa’fu ‘annā yā karīm.
O Allah, You are the Most Forgiving, Generous, and You love forgiveness; so forgive us, O Generous One.
