Dua For Fasting Sehri Dua Dua For Iftar English/Arabic/Urd

Introduction

Dua, or supplication, holds a special place in Islamic worship, and the act of fasting (Sawm) during the month of Ramadan is a deeply spiritual experience for Muslims around the world. The dua for fasting is recited both when beginning and breaking the fast, and it reflects gratitude, devotion, and the intention to fulfill this important religious duty.

Dua for Beginning the Fast (Suhoor)

Before the dawn breaks, Muslims consume a pre-dawn meal called Suhoor. It is during this time that they make the intention (Niyyah) to fast. While the intention is made in the heart, it can also be verbalized. A common dua recited is:

نَوَيْتُ صَوْمَ غَدٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى Nawaytu sawma ghadin lillahi ta’ala

Translation: “I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow for the sake of Allah, the Most High.”

This intention signifies the dedication to observe the fast sincerely for the sake of Allah.

Dua for Fasting – Sehri Dua English/Arabic/Urdu

There is no specific Dua before Fasting in Hadith.

However, most Muslims recite following Sehri Dua or Dua for Sehri before starting their fast during Ramadan:

This Dua for Suhoor is not in Hadith but its words clearly show that the person is intending for fast.

As far as intention for fasting is concerned, Ibn Taymiyah said: “Whoever thinks in his heart that he will fast tomorrow has formed the Intention for Fasting.”

 

Dua for Breaking the Fast (Iftar)

At sunset, Muslims break their fast with a meal known as Iftar. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended breaking the fast with dates and water, and a specific dua is recited at this time:

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ Dhahaba adh-dhama’u wabtallatil-‘urooqu, wa thabatal-ajru insha’Allah

Translation: “The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills.”

This dua expresses relief and gratitude for the strength to complete the fast and acknowledges the hope for reward from Allah.

Iftar Dua English/Arabic/Urdu

Dua for Breaking Fast (Dua for Opening Fast), also known as Iftar ki Dua or Dua for Iftar, is a Supplication when person breaks his/her fast during Ramadan.

 

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللّٰهُ

Thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is certain if Allaah wills

(Abu Dawud: 2357)

Above-mentioned is an authentic Iftar Dua and mentioned Hadith is Sahih. However, following is another Supplication which a person can recite at the time of opening his/her fast.
