BASIC RAMADHAAN DU’AAS
- Upon sighting the moon:
اللَّهُمَّ أهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأمْنِ وَالإيمانِ ، وَالسَّلاَمَةِ وَالإسْلاَمِ ، رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ ، هِلالُ رُشْدٍ وخَيْرٍ
Allahumma Ahillahu Alaina bil amni wal eemaani was salaamati wal islaam, Rabbee wa Rabbuka Allah. Hilaalu Rushdin wa Khair. (O Allah, let this moon appear on us with security and Iman; with safety & Islam. (O moon!) Your Rubb & mine is Allah. May this moon bring guidance and goodness) Refer here (Note: There is another version of this du’aa which can be found here)
- No specific du’aa to be recited when starting to Fast:
Intention (Niyyah) is essential for fasting and there is no specific du’aa for keeping the fast. One should make the intention Before Fajr Time. The so-called du’aas that start with asumu gadin, nawaytu bisawmi are innovations.
- Du’aa when breaking the Fast: Iftaar Du’aa
Du’aa 1:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ، وابْتَلَّتِ العُرُوقُ، وثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَاللهُ Zahabaz Zama’u wab tallatil ‘Urooq, wa thabatal ajru in shaa Allah (The thirst has gone & the veins are quenched, & reward is confirmed, if Allah wills)
Du’aa 2:
اللَّهُمَّ إنّي أَسْالُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَئٍ أنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي Allahuma Inni As-aluka biRahmatikal lati wasi’at kulla shayin an Taghfira lee
Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Aas related that the Messenger of Allah (Sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam) said: ‘Indeed the fasting person has at the time of breaking fast, a supplication which is not rejected’. Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: ‘I heard ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar say when he broke fast: ‘O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelops all things, that You forgive me.’
- When Breaking the Fast at Someone’s place:
أَفْطَرَ عِندَكُمُ الصَّائِمُون، وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأَبْرارَ، وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَة
Aftara Indakum As-Saayimoon wa Akala Ta’aamakumul Abraar, wa Sallat Alaikumul Malaaikah (May the fasting break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food, and may the angels send prayers upon you)
- When someone fights or abuses you while you’re fasting:
إنِّي صاَئِم إنِّي صاَئِم Inne Saayim, Inne Saayim (I am fasting, I am fasting)
- Du’aa of Laylatul Qadr:
Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked: “O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Laylatul Qadr, what should I supplicate in it?” He replied, “You should supplicate:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي Allahumma innaka ‘afuw’wun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni. (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiving; so forgive me) Read in Detail here
- A very comprehensive Du’aa for all times:
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أسَألُكَ مِنْ خَيْر مَا سَأَلَكَ مِنْهُ نَبِيُّكَ محمَّدٌ ؛ وأعوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَّاسْتَعَاذَ
مِنْهُ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ ، وأنْتَ المُسْتَعانُ ، وَعَليْكَ البَلاَغُ ، وَلا حَولَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا باللهِ
Allahumma Inna As-aluka Min Khairim Ma Sa-alaka Minhu Nabiyyuka Muhammad, wa ‘a’oozubik min Sharrim masta’aaza minhu Nabiyyuka Muhammad, wa Antal Musta’aan, wa alaikal balaagh, wa laa hawla wa laa Quwwata illa Billaah. (O Allah, I beg to You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Yours is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great)
