Prayers for the 25th Night of Ramadan
The Beloved Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) has said:
“Anyone, man or woman from my umma (community) who want to benefit from the light of my grave then he (or she) should perform worship with great intensity on each Laylat ul-Qadr (last 10 odd nights) , so that Allah The Most Exalted may wipe the person’s sins away and replace them with good deeds.â€
The worship on Laylat ul-Qadr is better and more powerful than worship of 70 (seventy) thousand nights.
The 3rd of Laylat ul-Qadr (25th Night):
The prayer can be done in one of three ways:
- Perform 4 cycles of prayer with 2 salam. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Qadr 1 time  and Surah Ikhlas 5 times. After the salam, read Kalma Tayyibbah (i.e. say Laa ilaaha illa Allahu Muhammadur Rasoolullaah) 100 (hundred) times. Insha Allah, Allah The Most Exalted will grant numerous benefits for this prayer.
- Perform 4 cycles of prayer with 2 salam. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Qadr 3 times  and Surah Ikhlas 3 times. After the salam, read Asthaghfar 70 times. This prayer is very effective for having sins forgiven.
- Perform 2 cycles of prayer. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Qadr 1 time  and Surah Ikhlas 15 times. After  the salam, read Kalma   Shahadat (i.e. say ash-hadu al laa ilaaha illa Allahu wahadhu laa shareeka lahu wa  ash-hadu anna  Muhammadan  abduhu wa  rasooluhu)  70 times.  This prayer is  for  the protection  from  the torment  of the grave.
Insha Allah, this  prayer will bring in a reward  of 70 times higher than any regular (nafl) prayer. Any one who makes a plea to Allah The Most Exalted, insha Allah it will be answered.
Also, read  Surah Dukhan (Al-Quran, chapter 44) on this night. Insha Allah, by reading this surah, it saves one from the torment of the grave. Also, one should read Surah Fath (Al- Quran, chapter 48) 7 times.  It  is  effective  for  any desire  or plea one may have.
