Dua in Taraweeh Prayer Transliteration, Translation

Dua in taraweeh prayer is something many Muslims ask about each Ramadan, usually when the imam pauses after four rak’ahs and the whole congregation starts reciting together. It is a quiet, familiar moment, but few people know where the words come from. This guide explains the practice clearly and honestly.

To get more from your Ramadan nights, a book on Ramadan and Qiyam is a good companion.

Why Taraweeh Matters

Tarawih is the special night prayer of Ramadan, prayed in congregation after Isha. Britannica’s overview of Ramadan explains how the month centers on fasting, prayer, and the Qur’an.

The Prophet ﷺ encouraged standing in prayer during Ramadan, and he promised forgiveness for those who do it sincerely.

Dua in taraweeh prayer

Between each set of four rak’ahs, many Muslims recite this customary dhikr. It is a common practice, especially among Hanafis, and is not a specific hadith. It is a taraweeh dua in English meaning, a praise of Allah ending with a request for safety from the Fire.

Arabic: سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ، سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ وَالْهَيْبَةِ وَالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ، سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَمُوتُ، سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ

Transliteration: Subhana dhil-mulki wal-malakut. Subhana dhil-‘izzati wal-‘azamati wal-haybati wal-qudrati wal-kibriya’i wal-jabarut. Subhanal-malikil-hayyil-ladhi la yanamu wa la yamut. Subbuhun quddusun Rabbuna wa Rabbul-mala’ikati war-ruh. Allahumma ajirna minan-nar.

English Translation: Glory be to the Owner of dominion and sovereignty. Glory be to the Owner of honor, greatness, awe, power, pride, and majesty. Glory be to the King, the Ever-Living, who neither sleeps nor dies. Most Glorious, Most Holy, our Lord and Lord of the angels and the Spirit. O Allah, save us from the Fire.

Urdu Translation: پاک ہے بادشاہی اور سلطنت والا۔ پاک ہے عزت، عظمت، ہیبت، قدرت، کبریائی اور جبروت والا۔ پاک ہے وہ بادشاہ، زندہ جو نہ سوتا ہے نہ مرتا ہے۔ نہایت پاک، نہایت مقدس، ہمارا رب اور فرشتوں اور روح کا رب۔ اے اللہ! ہمیں آگ سے بچا۔

Many pray twenty, while others pray eleven. Follow your imam and your school, and do not criticize someone who prays differently.

Conclusion

Taraweeh is about showing up, night after night, with faith and sincerity. The exact words you say in the pause matter less than the heart you bring. Learn the customary dhikr if you like, ask Allah sincerely, and keep the habit through the whole month. Start this Ramadan with intention, and let every night count.
