Du'as for Fasting
When beginning the fast-
Suhoor
وَبِصَوْمِ
غَدٍ
نَّوَيْتَ
مِنْ
شَهْرِ
رَمَضَانَ
Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadan
I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan
[abu Dawud]
When breaking the fast-
Iftar
اللَّهُمَّ
اِنِّى
لَكَ
صُمْتُ
وَبِكَ
امنْتُ
[وَعَلَيْكَ
تَوَكَّلْتُ]
وَعَلَى
رِزْقِكَ
اَفْطَرْتُ
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu [wa 'alayka
tawakkaltu] wa 'ala rizq-ika aftarthu
O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You [and I put
my trust in You] and I break my fast with Your sustenance
["wa 'alayka tawakkaltu" is quoted in some books of knowledge -
but not all, hence it is in brackets]
[abu Dawud]
ذَهَبَ
الظَّمَأُ
وَ
ابْتَلَّتِ
الْعُرُوقُ،
وَ
ثَبَتَ
الأجْرُ
إنْ
شَاءَ
اللَّهُ
dhahabadh-dhama'u wab-tallatil 'urūūqi, wa thabatal arju
inshaAllah
The thrist is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is
confirmed, if Allah [Ta'ala] Wills
[abu Dawud 13:2350]
اللَّهُمَّ
إِنِّي
أَسأَلُكَ
بِرَحْمَتِكَ
الَّتِي
وَسِعَتْ
كُلَّ
شَيْءٍ
أَنْ
تَغْفِرَ
لِي
Allaahumma inni as’aluka birahmatika al-lati wasi'at kulli
shay’in an taghfira li
O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelopes all things,
that You forgive me.
[a du'a that Abdullah ibn Amar (radiAllahu anhu) used to say
when breaking his fast - as reported by Ibn abi Mulaykah (radiAllahu
anhu)]
When someone offers you food when you are fasting and you
decline
When you are invited to eat, then reply to the invitation. if
you are fasting, then invoke Allah's blessings (on your host),
and if you are not fasting then eat.
[Muslim; 8:3348]
Upon reaching month of Rajab and Sha'ban
When the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) sighted the moon of
Rajab (two months before Ramadan) he used to pray to Allah in
the following words:
اَللّهُمَّ
بَارِكْ
لَنَا
فِى
رَجَبَ
وَ
شَعْبَانَ
وَ
بَلِّغْنَا
رَمَضَان
Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Sha'ban wa ballighna Ramadan
O Allah! Make the months of Rajab and Sha'ban blessed for us,
and let us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up
to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and
blessings)
[Narrated by at-Tabarani and Ahmad]
When you are fasting, and someone is rude to you
اِنَّيْ
صَائِمٌ
،
اِنِّيْ
صَائمٌ
Inni sa'iimu, inni sa'iimu
I am fasting, I am fasting
[Abu Huraira reported, Fath al-Bari of Al-Asqalani; 4:1-3, Muslim;
6:2563]
Upon Sighting of the new Moon
اللَّهُ
اَكْبَرُ
،
اَللَّهُمَّ
اَهِلَّهُ
عَلَيْنَا
بِالآَمْنِ
وَلاِيمَانِ
،
وَالسَّلَامَةِ
وَالاِسْلَامِ

Allahu Akbar. Allahumma ahillahu 'alayna bil-amni wal-imaani,
was-salaamati, wal-Islami, wat-tawfeeqi lima tuhibbu Rabbana wa
tardha. Rabbuna wa RabbukAllahu
Allah is the Greatest. O Allah bring us the new moon with
security and faith, with peace and in Islam, and in harmony with
what our Lord Loves and what pleases Him. Our Lord and your Lord
is Allah
[at-Tirmidhi 5:504, ad-Darimi 1:336]
Upon seeing the first dates of the season
اللَّهُمَّ
بَارِكْ
لَنَا
فِي
ثَمَرِنَا
،

مَدِينَتِنَا
وَ
بَارِكْ

wa barik lana fi saa'ina, wa barik lana fi muddina
O Allah! Bless us in our dates, and bless us in our town, bless
us in our saa' and in our Mudd'
(saa' and Mudd' are dry measures used for agricultural produce
by the Arabs in the Prophet's time)
[at-Tirmidhi 5:504, ad-Darimi 1:336]
