The
following Du’ā is recited in the third rakat of the Witr Prayer whilst
standing, before bowing:-
اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنَّا نَسْتَعِیْنُکَ
وَنَسْتَغْفِرُکَ وَ نُؤْ مِنُ بِکَ وَ نَتَوَکَّلُ عَلَیْکَ وَ نُثْنِیْ عَلَیْکَ
الْخَیْرَ وَ نَشْکُرُکَ
وَ لَا نَکْفُرُکَ وَ نَخْلَعُ وَ نَتْرُکُ مَنْ
یَّفْکُرُکَ اَللّٰھُمَّ اِیَّاکَ نَعْبُدُ وَ لَکَ نُصَلِّیْ وَ نَسْجُدُ وَ
اِلَیْکَ
نَسْعٰی وَ نَحْفِدُ وَ نَرْجُوْا رَحْمَتَکَ وَ
نَخْشٰی عَذَابَکَ اِنَّ عَذَابَکَ بِالْکُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ
‘O
Allah, I ask You for strength in every matter of religion and a strong
willpower to be on the right path. And I ask you to make me thankful for Your
bounties and give me the ability to worship You perfectly. And I ask You to
make my heart sincere and my tongue truthful. I ask you for every goodness known
to You and I seek refuge in You from everything bad that You know is bad. I ask
for Your forgiveness for all my mistakes’

Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
