Dua to read on Shab-e-baraat
Question
Shab e Baraat is soon and I’d like to know how can a woman in haidh spend it? I am aware we can do dhikr but could you please assist with any specific zikr that holds a lot of weight that can be done on this night?
Answer
You may recite durood shareef or any zikr. The zikr which is prescribed in the hadith to be recited on this night is the following dua:
O Allah, I seek refuge in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, and I seek refuge in You (in Your mercy) from You (from Your punishment). You are exalted. I am unable to praise You as You ought to be praised. You are as You have praised Yourself. (Shu'abul Imaan #3556)
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
