Dua for Fasting

  Publications

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from the hours between sunrise to sunset, refraining from eating, drinking and looking to better ourselves in this blessed month for the sake of Allah (SWT). There are various du’as for fasting which we recite during this month.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

There are three whose du’as are not rejected: a just ruler, the fasting person when he breaks his fast and the prayer of the oppressed person.

Hadith | Tirmidhi

While fasting and breaking our fast, it’s important to remember our reasons for doing it, and increase our remembrance of Allah.

Below are some du’as for fasting.

Du’a for breaking fast

As mentioned, the du’a of the fasting person at the time of breaking their fast is not rejected. It’s important to take this opportunity during Iftar time to put aside a few minutes to praise Allah and make sincere du’a. 

When breaking your fast, you can recite the following du’a:

Dhahabadh-dhama’, wabtillatil ‘urooq, wa thabatal ajru inshaa’Allah.

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ ، وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ ، وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ

The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain if Allah wills.

Du’a when someone angers you while fasting

The following du’a should be recited when someone angers you while fasting: 

 Innee saa’im, innee saa’im

إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، إِنِّي صَائِمٌ

I’m fasting, I’m fasting.

Dua for protection from hellfire

It’s important to seek protection from hellfire, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan. Recite the following:

Allaahumma innee as-aluka Ridaaka wal Jannah wa a’audhu’bika min sakhatika wan-naar

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رِضَاكَ وَالجَنَّةَ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَالنَّارِ 

O Allah, I ask of Your pleasure and for Paradise, and I seek refuge from Your displeasure and from the Hellfire.

Du’a for forgiveness

We should actively repent for our sins whilst fasting. Recite the following:

Allazeena yaqooloona Rabbanaaa innanaaa aamannaa faghfir lanaazunoobanaa wa qinaa ‘azaaban Naar.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ ءَامَنَّافَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

Our Lord! surely we believe, therefore forgive us our faults and save us from the chastisement of the fire.

Qur’an | Surah Al-Imran | 3:16
