(i.e., "I seek pardon from God and ask for penitence from Him"). Recite: "Allaahummal'an qatalatal Ameeril Momeneen" 100 times, (specially recommended for the 19th night of Ramadhan). اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. (i.e., "O Allah! Thy malison upon the assassin of Ameerul Moineneen Ali ibne Abi Talib").
Then it is recommended to recite the following Dua, يَا ذَا الَّذِى كَانَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ ثُمَّ يَبْقَى وَ يَفْنَى كُلُّ شَىْءٍ يَا ذَا الَّذِى لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَىْءٌ وَ يَا ذَا الَّذِى لَيْسَ فِى السَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى وَ لا فِى الْأَرَضِينَ السُّفْلَى وَ لا فَوْقَهُنَّ وَ لا تَحْتَهُنَّ وَ لا بَيْنَهُنَّ إِلَهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُهُ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْدا لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إِحْصَائِهِ إِلا أَنْتَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلاةً لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إِحْصَائِهَا إِلا أَنْتَ.
Translation: O One Who was before everything and then brought everything into existence. He will remain while all else will be destroyed. O the One sole and solitary excepting Whom there is none else in the high heavens or low earths or above and below them, or in between them who is worth worshipping. Only Thou art the deity and none else deserves to be worshipped. Thou only deserves the praise which cannot be encompassed but by Thee.
Therefore bestow Peace and Blessings on Muhammad (S.A.W.) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) such as no body else has the power to encompass.
The following Du'a has been narrated from Imam Ja'afar Sadiq (a.s.) and is recommended to be read on every night of the month of Ramadhan specially on the 19th: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيمَا تَقْضِى وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ فِى الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِى لا يُرَدُّ وَ لا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِى مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمْ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمْ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمْ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ [عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ] وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيمَا تَقْضِى وَ تُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِى فِى خَيْرٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ تُوَسِّعَ فِى رِزْقِى وَ تَجْعَلَنِى مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَ لا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِى غَيْرِى.
