Dua on Laylatul Qadr

What is Laylatul Qadr?

Dua for Iftar

When breaking the fast – Iftar
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You [and I put my trust in You] and I break my fast with Your sustenance.
[“wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu” is quoted in some books of knowledge – but not all, hence it is in brackets]
[Abu Dawud]

Transliteration:
Allahumma Inni laka sumtu wa bika amantu [wa alayka tawakkalto] 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.

Dua for Suhur

When beginning the fast – Suhur (sehri)
بِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.

Transliteration:
Bi-sawmi ghadin nawaytu min shahri ramadan

There is no special Du’aa to begin the fast. You can make the Niyyat in your own language e.g. O Allah I am fasting tomorrow for you. So make it easy for me and accept it from me. The du’aa provided here is an example.

Niyyat means the intention of heart and one eats sehri with the intention of fasting. Then eating sehri is tantamount to intention. There is no need of intention in words separately but if one reads the said du’aa in sehri then it is lawful and better. [Darul Ifta, Darul Uloom Deoband, India]

Dua for Suhoor

Dua After Iftar

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَ ابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَ ثَبَتَ الأجْرُ إنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Transliteration:
dhahabadh dhama-u wabtallatil ‘urooqu, wa tha-batal ajru insha Allah

The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed, if Allah [Ta’ala] wills.
[Abu Dawud]
