Indeed, there is no place to rest our hope apart from Allah. Allah is our only place to ask and depend and He will fulfill all of His promises.

This is the promise of Allah SWT to those who carry out their fast with a sincere and devoted sense which will born a pure heart and a clean soul only to Allah.

Just like the prayer that Rasulullah had taught specifically in the sacred month,
“Asyhadu an-laa ilaha illa-Allah, astaghfirullah, Asaluka ridhoka wal jannahwa a’uudzu bika min sakhatika wan naar.”
That means :
“I testify that there is no god other than Allah, I plead the forgiveness from Allah, I ask Your blessings and heaven, O Allah and I beg to avoid from Your wrath and the punishment of Hell.”
As for every night, we are also suggested to recite a dua,
“Allahumma innaka afuwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu annaa.”
That means :
“O Allah as You are Forgiving, You love forgiveness, so forgive me.”
As the month of Ramadan approaches the end, it does not mean that good deeds become looser cause when it near the end of Ramadan we must be more diligent in practicing the good. Before the end of Ramadan, one thing we can do is pray. Read also : how to do Ramadhan fasting for the first time
The Last Ten Days
In history, Sayyidah ‘A’ishah RA is told during Ramadan when entering the last 10 days, the Prophet Muhammad abandoned his wives and focused on worship at night and woke his wives for worship. The worship done by the Prophet at night is dhikr, itikaf and recitations of Al-Qur’an.
It has been told to us that Abu al-Yaman said, has preached to us Shu’aib said, has told to us Abu al-Zanad from al-A’raj from Abu Hurayrah said that Rasulullah said :
“Whoever establishes the lailatul qadar by faith and wishes the reward, is forgiven his past sins.” (Narrated by Bukhari : 34, also narrated by pilgrims of hadith)
From the commandment of the Prophet SAW in the last 10 days are dua of Ramadhan and there are 2 dua that especially for the end of Ramadhan which are dua of Qunut at Witr prayer and dua wish upon lailatul qadar.
Dua of Qunut
Has told us by Qutaibah and has told to us Abu al-Ahwash from Abu Ishaq from Buraid ibn Abu Maryam from Abu al-Khaura ‘As Sa’di he said, al-Hasan bin Ali r.a. said,
“Rasulullah SAW, taught me some of the sentences I uttered in the Witr prayers, namely Allahummahdhi fiiman hadait, wa’afafhi fiiman ‘afait, watawallanii fiiman tawallait, wabaarik lii fiima a’thait, waqinii syarrama qadlait, fainnaka taqdli walaa yuqdla’ alaik, wainnahu laa yadzillu man waalait, tabaarakta rabbana wata’aalait.”
Dua Wish for The Night of Lailatul Qadar
Has told us by Qutaibah and has told us by Ja’far bin Sulaiman Adh Dhuba’i from Kahmas bin al-Hasan from Abdullah bin Buraidah from Ayesha he said,
“O Rasulullah, if I know the night whether lailatul qadar, what I say to Him? “He said,”Say: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun kariimun tuhibbul’ afwa fa’fu ‘annii (O Allah, verily You are the Most Forgiveness and Most Gracious, You are happy to forgive, so forgive me).”
Abu Isa said, This hadith is a hasan sahih. (H.R. Tirmidhi 3435 is also narrated by Ibn Majah : 3.840, Ahmad : 24.215, 24.320, 24.322, 24.330, 24.559, and 25.018).
One of the best ways to complete Ramadan is to offer a farewell dua that is read on the last night of Ramadan, but it is also recommended to read the dua on the last two nights of Ramadan on the night of 29th and 30th.
