Dua for Iftar

When breaking the fast – Iftar
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance.

[Abu Dawud]

Transliteration:
Allahumma Inni laka sumtu wa bika amantu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu

Iftar commences at Maghrib, marked by the initial words of the beautiful adhan.

In our weakened state from fasting, the urge to hastily break our fast is strong. Yet, this vulnerable moment is precious—ideal for reflecting on Allah and making heartfelt dua. Just as the dua at suhoor declares our intent to fast, the dua at iftar becomes an expression of gratitude to Allah.
