Ramadan and fasting

Duas for fasting and Ramadan

This collection connects Ramadan with pardon and remembrance at iftar. The selected sources address different occasions; they do not supply one compulsory spoken script for every stage of a fast.

Reading options
At breaking the fasthadith
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Transliteration

Dhahabaz-zama’u wabtallatil-‘uruqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha’ Allah.

English meaning

Thirst has passed, the veins are moistened, and the reward is established, if Allah wills.

For pardon on Laylat al-Qadrhadith
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Transliteration

Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni.

English meaning

O Allah, You pardon and love pardon, so pardon me.

Two occasions, two source records

Sunan Abi Dawud 2357 concerns breaking the fast. Its words refer to relief of thirst and hope for reward. Sunan Ibn Majah 3850 records Aishah’s question about Laylat al-Qadr and the response asking for pardon.

Keep those settings distinct. Neither quotation is a formula for deciding to fast before dawn, and the Laylat al-Qadr request should not be relabelled as an iftar text.

Intention and a fasting timetable

The intention to fast and the words of a supplication are different matters. Learn the relevant school’s rules about intention, including the kind of fast involved, rather than assuming an online Arabic line determines validity.

Use dependable local guidance for dawn and sunset. Readers in different countries and seasons may face different daylight conditions, so this collection does not calculate fasting times from a general dua page.

A sustainable Ramadan approach

Learn one short text with its meaning, then return to it at its reported occasion. Allow room for Quran reading, ordinary personal supplication and the practical responsibilities of the day without treating this page as a mandatory checklist.

Questions about illness, pregnancy, medication or exemptions need individual religious and medical guidance. Supplication does not resolve whether a particular person should fast or change a prescribed treatment.

Common questions

Must I read every card each day? The collection is a reference, not a required sequence. Does forgetting an iftar prayer invalidate fasting? That is not a condition established by these reports. Is the pardon prayer only a demand for worldly success? Its central request is pardon. Where are the full details? The separate iftar and Laylat al-Qadr pages explain each source more closely.
