Amaal for night preceding 29th Ramadan
Two Rakaat: Surah Al Faatih’ah, recite Surah Ikhlaas Twenty (20) times
Dua'a for 27th Ramadhan -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 (symbolised by the congregation prayer position when u have joined in 2nd rakat & while waiting in tashahud to rise up).
In this position only the very necessary parts of the body touch the ground ,indicating minimum attachment to the world.
اللّهُمّ غَشّنِي فِيهِ بِالرّحْمَةِ،
allahumma ghashshiny fihi bilrrhmati
O Allah: on this day, (please) spread out mercy over me,
وَارْزُقْنِي فِيهِ التّوْفِيقَ وَالعِصْمَةَ،

And provide me with success and protection (against sinning),
وَطَهّرْ قَلْبِي مِنْ غَيَاهِبِ التّهَمَةِ،

And cleanse my heart from the murk of dubiosity;
يَا رَحِيماً بِعِبَادِهِ المُؤْمِنِينَ.

O He Who is merciful to His faithful servants.
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها
“Glory be to God who knows all that enters the earth and all that emerges therefrom and all that comes down from the sky and all that ascends therein.
عَمَّا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها عَمَّا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها و
What enters the earth and what emerges therefrom do not divert His Attention from what comes down from the sky and what ascends therein; and what comes down from the sky and what ascends therein do not divert His Attention from what enters the earth and what emerges therefrom.
َ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ عِلْمُ شَيْءٍ عَنْ عِلْمِ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ خَلْقُ شَيْءٍ عَنْ خَلْقِ شَيْءٍ
Awareness of one thing does not divert his attention from the awareness of another thing. Creation of one thing does not divert His Attention from the creation of another thing.
وَ لَا حِفْظُ شَيْءٍ عَنْ حِفْظِ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يُسَاوِيهِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَا يَعْدِلُهُ شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
Watching over one thing does not divert His Attention from watching over another thing. Nothing is comparable to Him, nor is there anything to rival Him. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

O Allah, I ask You for fear of You in secret and in public, and for the word of justice in satisfaction and anger
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضَرَّاءَ أَوْ مَضَرَّةٍ أَوْ فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ
Wa as'aluka qurrata 'aynin lā yanqaṭi'u wa a'ūdhu bika min ḍarrā'a aw maḍarratin aw fitnatin muḍillatin
And I ask You for a delight of the eye that never ends, and I seek refuge with You from any harm or affliction or misleading trial
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ خِزْيِكَ وَ كَشْفِ سِتْرِكَ وَ نِسْيَانِ ذِكْرِكَ
Wa a'ūdhu bika min khizyika wa kashfi sitrika wa nisyāni dhikrika
And I seek refuge with You from Your humiliation, and the removal of Your protection, and forgetting Your remembrance
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي فِي كَنَفِكَ وَ حِفْظِكَ وَ حِرْزِكَ فِي لَيْلِي وَ نَهَارِي وَ نَوْمِي وَ قَرَارِي وَ ظَعْنِي وَ أَسْفَارِي

O Allah, I am in Your care, Your protection, and Your safeguard in my night and day, my sleep and my wakefulness, my rest and my travel

Dhikruka shi'ārī wa du'ā'uka dithārī
Your remembrance is my banner, and Your supplication is my shield
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَنْزِيهاً لِوَجْهِكَ الْعَظِيمِ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ الْأَلِيمِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ أَعْدَائِكَ
Lā ilāha illā anta tanzīhan li-wajhika al-'aẓīmi ajirnī min 'adhābika al-alīmi wa min sharri a'dā'ika
There is no god but You, glorifying Your great face, protect me from Your painful punishment and from the evil of Your enemies
وَ أَضِفْ عَلَيَّ سُرَادِقَاتِ حِفْظِكَ
Wa aḍif 'alayya surādiqāti ḥifẓika
And extend over me the tents of Your protection
سُبْحَانَكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ بِكَ آمَنْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ وَ أَنْتَ حَسْبِي وَ كَفَى وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Subḥānaka yā dhā al-jalāli wa al-ikrāmi bika āmantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa ilayka ḥākamtu wa anta ḥasbī wa kafā wa ni'ma al-wakīlu
Glory be to You, O Possessor of majesty and honor. I have believed in You, relied on You, and referred to You for judgment. You are sufficient for me, and how excellent a guardian
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
Wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāhi al-'aliyyi al-'aẓīmi
And there is no might nor power except with Allah, the High, the Great

And may Allah bless His Messenger, our Master Muhammad the Prophet, and his family, and grant them peace.
