Beautiful dua for Laylatul Qadr (or any other night)

Salaam alaikum,
Tonight is Laylatul Qadr. Please remember us in your precious duas.
Here  are two very beautiful du'as recommended to be recited tonight. Du'as can be recited at anytime, of course. I will save these du'as somewhere so that i can continue to recite them more regularly, Inshallah.

يَا بَاطِناً فِي ظُهُورِهِ،
O He Who is intrinsic though He is evident,
ويَا ظَاهِراً فِي بُطُونِهِ،
And He Who is evident though He is intrinsic;
وَيَا بَاطِناً لَيْسَ يَخْفَى،
O He Who is intrinsic that is not missed
وَيَا ظَاهِراً لَيْسَ يُرَى،
And He Who is evident but He cannot be seen;
يَا مَوْصُوفاً لا يَبْلُغُ بِكَيْنُونَتِهِ مَوْصُوفٌ وَلا حَدّ مَحْدُودٌ،
O He Who is described, but neither any other described thing nor can any boundary attain His Being;
وَيَا غَائِباً غَيْرَ مَفْقُودٍ،
O He Who is absent but not lost,
وَيَا شَاهِداً غَيْرَ مَشْهُودٍ،
And He Who is present but not witnessed.
يُطْلَبُ فَيُصَابُ،
When He is sought, He shall be obtained,
وَلَمْ يَخْلُ مِنْهُ السّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ،
And neither the heavens, nor the earth nor can anything that is between them be empty of Him.
لا يُدْرَكُ بِكَيْفٍ،
He cannot be realized by asking ‘How is He?’
وَلا يُؤَيّنُ بِأَيْنٍ وَلا بِحَيْثٍ،
And His place cannot be identified by asking, ‘Where is He?’ or ‘What is His place?’
أَنْتَ نُورُ النّورِ وَرَبّ الأَرْبَابِ،
You are verily the light of all lights and the Lord of all lords.
أَحَطْتَ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمورِ،
You have comprehended all things.
سُبحَانَ مَنْ لَيْسَ كَمِثِلهِ شَيْءٌ
Glory be to Him Whose like is nonexistent,
وَهُوَ السّميعُ البَصيرُ!
And He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing.
سبحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ هكَذَا وَلا هَكَذَا غَيْرُه!
Glory be to Him Who is in this state and nothing else can be ever in his state.
(Mentioned in the book Iqbal al A'mal)

  2. Is it true that shiite Muslims curse many of the Prophet's loved ones and companions? If so, why do they do that? I'd like to know your answer :)

  3. Salaam alaikum sister,

    "Say (O Muhammad): I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives.." [Al Qur'an 42:23]

    The Qur'an asks us (in fact commands us) to love the loved ones and near kin of the Prophet(S), so how could we possibly curse them? However, we do not judge all companions to be good just on account of their being associated with the Prophet (S).
    Kindly refer to the following article for a more comprehensive understanding on the subject.
