“اللهم بارك لنا في الأيام المتبقية من شهر شعبان، وبلغنا شهر رمضان هذا العام وأعواماً مديدة، وارزقنا صيامه إيماناً واحتساباً، ولا تحرمنا فضله، واجْعَل لنا نَصيباً مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ تُنْزِلُ فيهِ.

O Allah, bless us in the remaining days of the month of Shaaban, make us reach the month of Ramadan this year and many years to come, grant us to fast in it for Your sake and anticipation of Your rewards, do not deprive us of its bounty, and grant us a share of every good that You send in it.
