Ramadan is a time of deep reflection, devotion, and connection with Allah (SWT). Central to this sacred month is the act of fasting, which is accompanied by heartfelt duas for Ramadan that deepen our spirituality and bring us closer to Allah. These prayers offer guidance, blessings and forgiveness, ensuring a meaningful Ramadan experience.
Dua for Fasting in Ramadan
When starting your fast, recite the dua for starting fast in Ramadan:
"Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri Ramadan." (I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.)
This intention aligns your heart and actions with the spiritual purpose of fasting.
Dua for Opening Fast in Ramadan
Breaking your fast is a moment of gratitude. Recite the dua for breaking fast Ramadan:
"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 rely on You, and with Your sustenance, I break my fast.)
This dua is a reminder of Allah’s bountiful blessings.
Duas for the First 10 Days of Ramadan
The first 10 days focus on mercy. Recite: "Rabbi ighfir warham wa anta khayrur raahimeen." (My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.)
Duas for the Last 10 Days of Ramadan
Laylatul Qadr, also known as the Night of Power, holds immense significance in Islam as the holiest night of the year. It is believed to fall in the last ten nights of Ramadan, with the 27th night often considered likely. On this night, the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), marking the beginning of divine guidance for humanity.
Laylatul Qadr is described in the Qur'an as being "better than a thousand months" (Surah Al-Qadr, 97:3), emphasising the unparalleled blessings and mercy it carries. Worship on this night—through prayer, recitation of the Qur'an, and seeking forgiveness—has the potential to earn rewards equivalent to those gained over 83 years. Muslims strive to seize this opportunity to strengthen their connection with Allah, seek forgiveness for their sins, and pray for a better future. It is a time for deep reflection, spiritual renewal, and drawing closer to the Divine.
In the last 10 days, seek forgiveness and salvation from Hellfire. A powerful dua for the last 10 days of Ramadan is: "Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni." (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.)
