Dua For Ramadan

Ramadan is a time of reflection for Muslims. It is also a month where Muslims fast from sunrise till sunset, aiming to cleanse their spirit of all negativities and to seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT). Some major acts of worship in Ramadan include donating to charity and making dua. This time of year is important as prayers are accepted, sins are forgiven, and hearts are purified.

Why Are Duas Important In Ramadan?

Making dua in Ramadan is very different from making dua at other times of the year. Asking Allah (SWT) in Ramadan opens a portal of forgiveness as you are communicating to The Most High in a sacred month. Whether you are seeking a dua for protection, a dua for guidance, or a dua for forgiveness in Ramadan, turning to Allah (SWT) with sincerity can bring peace and calmness to the soul.

Duas That Relate To Fasting in Ramadan

Before beginning the fast, it is Sunnah to recite the intention:

"Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaitu min shahri Ramadan."

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

By reciting this dua, we affirm our devotion and prepare ourselves spiritually and physically for the fast.

Dua for Suhoor and Iftar

Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, is a moment to seek blessings and strength for the fasting day ahead. A powerful dua for Suhoor is:

"Allahumma inni as’aluka ‘ilman naafi’an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa ‘amalan mutaqabbalan."

("O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds.")

At iftar, the moment of breaking the fast, one should recite the dua for iftar:

"Allahumma inni laka sumtu, wa bika aamantu, wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu, wa ‘ala rizq-ika-aftartu."

("O Allah! I fasted for You, I believe in You, I put my trust in You, and with Your sustenance, I break my fast.")

How You Can Reap The Rewards By Donating To Charity Meals

Help those in need this Ramadan!

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Whoever gives iftar to a fasting person will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.” (Tirmidhi)

By donating today, you can provide food to those less fortunate, making sure they have a fulfilling meal at Suhoor and Iftar. Your kindness will put barakah in your life, leaving a larger reward in the hereafter too.
