Introduction:
Ramadan is a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth. Alongside fasting from dawn to sunset, reciting duas is one of the most powerful ways to connect with Allah. Duas during Ramadan allow you to seek forgiveness, blessings, and guidance for yourself and others. In this guide, we’ve compiled the dua month of Ramadan that every Muslim should know.
1.What is a Ramadan Dua?
A Ramadan dua is a supplication made during the holy month, often to ask for guidance, forgiveness, or blessings. Unlike the formal prayers, Ramadan duas are flexible and heartfelt, allowing you to express your needs and hopes directly to Allah. These prayers can be recited anytime, particularly during Suhoor, Iftar, or night prayers (Taraweeh or Qiyam al-Layl).
2.Dua to Break Your Fast (Iftar Dua)
Breaking your fast is a moment of gratitude, and there is a specific dua to recite:
“Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizq-ika-aftartu”
(O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I put my trust in You and with Your sustenance I break my fast.)
Reciting this dua with sincerity expresses thankfulness for the blessings of food and sustenance.
3.General Ramadan Duas
Here are some Ramadan special duas to recite throughout the month:
1.Seeking Forgiveness
“Rabbighfir li” (My Lord, forgive me) – simple and powerful, recited frequently during the month.
2.For Guidance and Blessings
“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan waqina ‘adhaban-nar”
(Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.)
3.For Health and Protection
Make dua for well-being and protection from illness or harm, especially for family, friends, and vulnerable communities.
4.For Others in Need
Include prayers for those affected by conflict, poverty, or illness, reflecting the spirit of charity and empathy that Ramadan encourages.
4.Ramadan Special Duas for Night Prayers (Taraweeh & Qiyam al-Layl)
During Ramadan nights, especially in the last 10 nights, reciting duas with focus and sincerity can bring immense reward. These prayers are often performed during Taraweeh, the nightly Ramadan prayers after ‘Isha, and Qiyam al-Layl, the late-night vigil prayers that are particularly encouraged in the last ten nights. Engaging in these prayers allows worshippers to reflect, seek forgiveness, and make heartfelt supplications.
You may include:
-Supplications for forgiveness:
“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni”
(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me.)
-Prayers for family and community welfare:
“Rabbana ahdina fi man hadayt, wa ‘afina fi man ‘afayt, wa tawallana fi man tawallayt”
(Our Lord, guide us among those You have guided, grant us well-being among those You have granted well-being, and take us into Your care among those You have taken into Your care.)
-Personal goals and intentions:
“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘adhaban-nar”
(Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.)
Remember, the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) falls within the last 10 nights, offering multiplied rewards for every act of worship. You can find a full collection of special duas for the last 10 nights here
