Introduction:
Daily duas for Ramadan are recommended daily to enable Muslims to strengthen their faith and repentance and to utilize the maximum of this blessed month. Ramadan does not just involve fasting from food and drink; this is a period of spiritual revival, genuine repentance, and supplication. Through learning and practicing the right duas at Suhoor, Iftar, and during the day, you are able to make your Ramadan a month of permanent spiritual development.
It is an authentic book of supplication in the Quran and Sunnah; tips on how to build a routine of dua; and the questions and answers are clear and simple.
What Is the Significance of Duas during Ramadan?
Ramadan is the month of mercy, forgiveness, and salvation. Allah says in the Quran:
And My servants ask thee about Me; surely, I am close. I react to the supplication of the supplicant when he addresses me.
This verse is found surrounded by the verses regarding fasting, which demonstrates that there is a very close relationship between fasting and supplication.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
Three have their supplication not disapproved: the fasting man, when he breaks his fast; the righteous ruler; and the oppressed.
(Tirmidhi 3598 – Hasan)
This is a reminder of the fact that Ramadan presents strong chances of accepted duas.
Which are the most optimal duas we should take on a daily Ramadan?
Most Muslims find structured daily duas that they can follow throughout the day in the month of Ramadan. Although Islam does not recommend a special dua during each of the days of Ramadan with authentic evidence, the Prophet ﷺ instructed on generic supplications that are useful throughout the month.
The following are the genuine and prescribed duas that you can repeat.
Dua Before the Commencement of the Fasting (Suhoor Intention)
There is no specific verbal dua required for intention. The intention (niyyah) is made in the heart.
However, you may recite the following:
“Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaitu min shahri Ramadan.”
“I intend to fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.”
Although commonly recited, scholars note this wording is not from an authentic hadith. The intention in the heart is sufficient.
Dua at Iftar (Breaking the Fast)
This is one of the most powerful moments for supplication.
1. Authentic Iftar Dua
“Dhahaba adh-dhama’u wabtallatil-‘urooqu wa thabatal-ajru in shaa Allah.”
(Abu Dawood 2357 – Hasan)
Meaning: “The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.”
2. Short Iftar Supplication
“Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu.”
Though widely practiced, scholars differ on its strength. The first dua above is more authentic.
What Should You Ask Allah During Ramadan?
Ramadan is the best time to ask for the following:
- Forgiveness (Maghfirah)
- Protection from Hellfire
- Acceptance of good deeds
- Guidance (Hidayah)
- Health and halal provision
- Strong faith and good character
Here is a powerful Quranic dua:
“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhaban-nar.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:201)
Meaning: “Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
The Best Dua for Laylatul Qadr
One of the most important daily duas for Ramadan is the supplication taught for Laylatul Qadr.
Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ what she should say if she finds the Night of Decree. He replied:
“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.”
(Tirmidhi 3513 – Sahih)
Meaning: “O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.”
This short dua carries immense reward.
