O Allah, the Lord, (this is) the month of
Ramazan, in it Thou revealed the Holy Quran, and
in it made obligatory "fasting" upon Thy
servants, send blessings on Muhammad and on the
children of Muhammad, and provide us with the
means to go to Thy Sacred House for "Hajj" this
year and every year; and in this month forgive
my grave sins, verily, other than Thee, no one
can liberate (me) from its consequences, O
Beneficent, O Omniscient.
