The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most devoted of people in making supplication in all circumstances, especially during virtuous times when prayers are more likely to be answered—such as the blessed month of Ramadan and the moments of breaking the fast after a day of worship.
At iftar, the fasting person combines obedience, humility, and hope in their heart. For this reason, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught his companions comprehensive supplications to say at the time of breaking their fast, due to the blessing and acceptance associated with that moment.
Among the well-known supplications reported from him are the following:
🌙 Duas Before Iftar in Ramadan
1.
O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.
2.
O Allah, forgive me all my sins—small and great, first and last, public and private.
3.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by enemies. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from severe trials, from the depths of misery, from an evil decree, and from the gloating of enemies. O Allah, set right for me my religion, which is the safeguard of my affairs; set right for me my worldly life, in which is my livelihood; and set right for me my Hereafter, to which is my return. Make life an increase for me in every good, and make death a relief for me from every evil.
4.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from overwhelming debt and from being overpowered by people.
5.
O Allah, grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
6.
O Allah, forgive me my mistakes, my ignorance, and my excess in my affairs—and You know better than I. O Allah, forgive me my seriousness and my jesting, my intentional and unintentional mistakes—indeed all of that is from me. O Allah, forgive me what I have sent before and what I have delayed, what I have concealed and what I have declared—and what You know better than I. You are the One who brings forward and the One who delays, and You are over all things Powerful.
These supplications reflect humility, repentance, reliance upon Allah, and hope for His mercy. The time of iftar is a precious spiritual window—so take a moment before your first sip or bite to turn your heart sincerely toward your Lord. 🌙
