Dua for iftar

Supplications for breaking the fast, from the Hisnul Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim) collection, chapter “Invocations for breaking the fast”.

  1. ((ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ العُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ)).

    (The thirst has gone and the veins are quenched, and reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.)

    (Thahabath-thama-o wabtallatil-AAurooq, wathabatal-ajru in shaal-lah.)

  2. ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي)).

    (O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelopes all things, that You forgive me.)

    (Allahumma inne as-aluka birahmatikal-latee wasiAAat kulla shay, an taghfira lee.)
