Ramadan Dua for Iftar

This year, Ramadan is expected to begin in the evening on Sunday, March 10, 2024, and end on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Read the dua for iftar with its English and Hindi translations.

Ramzan, also known as Ramadan, is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is the holiest month for Muslims around the world. It is a very spiritually cleansing month with a focus on prayer, fasting (Sawm), and charity (Zakat). Muslims fast from dawn until dusk during this month, which means they don't eat, drink, or meet other physical needs during the day. There are five main ideas in Islam, and one of them is fasting. Fasting teaches Muslims to be patient, humble, and spiritual.

Iftar is the meal they eat in the evening to break their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. People usually break their fasts with dates and water. Then there is the Maghrib prayer, which is the fourth of the five daily prayers, and then the meal is served. Praying during Iftar is important because it helps you be thankful for the food you've eaten and ask for forgiveness for any mistakes you've made. 

At the time of breaking the fast, there is joy and celebration. Families and communities get together to share the blessings of the meal that God provides. Sitting down to eat with people from all walks of life is a powerful way to build community and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and equality before God. According to Muslim belief, prayers at Iftar, which combine food and prayer, are the most religious part of Ramadan. They mark the end of the day's serious observance and encourage deep spiritual reflection and connection with God. 

What is Ramadan?

The ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar is Ramazan, or Ramadan, as it is more widely known in many other countries. For Muslims worldwide, it is a time of great significance for community, fasting, prayer, and introspection. Muslims hold that Allah (God) revealed the Quran, the sacred book of Islam, to the Prophet Muhammad during this month.

Among Islam's Five Pillars is the practice of fasting during Ramadan. Sawm is a fast that begins at dawn (Fajr) and ends at sunset (Maghrib). Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and having sexual relations while they are fasting. The fast is not just a physical discipline; it's also an opportunity for introspection, prayer, reading aloud from the Quran, and almsgiving.

Suhoor is eaten before dawn, and Iftar, which is traditionally served right after sunset and starts with dates and water before moving on to a heavier meal, breaks the fast. Muslims use this cycle of fasting and feasting as an opportunity to practice self-control, purify their bodies and souls, and develop compassion for the less fortunate.

Ramadan also marks an increase in prayer and Quran recitation. Taraweeh, the night prayer, is a special part of Ramadan evenings that is done in groups in mosques. During the final ten days of Ramadan, which are regarded as the most sacred, many Muslims take part in itikaf, or spiritual retreats.

Eid al-Fitr, a joyous occasion where Muslims thank Allah for providing them with strength during the fast and participate in group prayers, feasting, and charitable giving, signifies the end of Ramadan.

How to read Iftar ki Dua?

The Iftar Dua is the prayer said during Iftar, or the breaking of the fast. It's a crucial component of the Ramadan fasting customs, acting as a thank you to God for keeping the fast going.

The Iftar Dua comes in a variety of forms, but in most of them, it acknowledges and thanks Allah for giving you the strength to fast.Reading the Iftar Dua involves pronouncing the Arabic text correctly and reading it after the adhan, or call to prayer, has been called, preferably right before you break your fast. If you are unable to read Arabic, it is also acceptable to read the translation in your native tongue.

Additional instructions for reciting the Iftar Dua can be obtained from your neighbourhood mosque, an Islamic community centre, or websites designed specifically for learning Arabic from the Quran.
