By umrahme | Published on Mar 11, 2024

As we embrace the spirit of Ramadan, we begin with hearts brimming with gratitude to Allah for giving us a chance to witness the profound month. It’s a time filled with deep prayers, lots of recitation of the Quran, countless supplications, and heartfelt charities.

One of the beautiful virtues of Ramadan is,

Abu Hurairah said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up.” [Sahih Bukhari, 1898; Muslim, 1079]

To aid in maximizing the benefits of these blessed days and nights, we have compiled a select list of duas to recite during Ramadan.

We encourage you to keep the dua list within easy reach—take a printout or keep it handy on your phone. This way, you can seamlessly integrate the recitation into your daily routine during the holy month.

Dua for reaching Ramadan

اَللّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان

Transliteration: Allahumma Ballighna Ramadan

Meaning: Oh Allah, let us reach Ramadan.

اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلّمْنِيْ إِلى رَمَضانَ وَسَلّمْ لِي رَمَضانَ وَتَسَلَّمْه مِنِّي مُتَقَبَّلا

Transliteration: Allahumma sallimni ila Ramadan wa sallim li Ramadan wa tasallamhu minni mutaqabbala

Meaning: O Allah! Preserve me until Ramadan, safeguard Ramadan for me, and accept it from me (receive my deeds with acceptance).

Dua for fasting in Ramadan

There are no specific duas to recite during Suhoor or while fasting. However, it is important to have the right intention, and you can recite the daily duas including the morning and evening Azkar.

Some of the duas are,

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Transliteration: Allahumma inni ‘audhubika min al-hammi wal hazani, wal ‘ajzi wal kasali, wal bukhli wal jubni, wa dala’ad-dayni, wa ghalabatir-rijâl.

Meaning: O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.

اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْأَلُـكَ عِلْمـاً نافِعـاً وَرِزْقـاً طَيِّـباً ،وَعَمَـلاً مُتَقَـبَّلاً

Transliteration: Allahumma inni as-aluka‘ilman nafi’an wa rizqan tayyiban wa ‘amalan matqaballan

Dua for breaking your fast during Ramadan

As the moment of Iftar approaches, hunger and fatigue are at their peak. That is the crucial time for a fasting person to concentrate and make heartfelt supplications. This is because the dua made at this time is believed to be accepted. The following hadith explains this in detail:

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“There are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed person…” [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, 2525]

When breaking the fast, it is recommended to recite what was narrated by ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) broke his fast, he would say,

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Transliteration: Dhahabaz zama’u wabtalatal urooq wa thabatal ajr in sha Allah.

Meaning: Thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain if Allah wills. [Abu Dawud]

Take these moments to invoke your sincerest duas, knowing that this is a special opportunity for them to be heard and granted, in’sha Allah.

Dua for the last 10 nights of Ramadan

The last 10 nights of Ramadan are the most important nights of the year, as they mark the appearance of the most blessed night, Layla tul Qadr. During this time, our beloved Prophet Pbuh strives hard in worship and engages himself in night prayers and Itikaf.

It is reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said:

“Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadan.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Allah says in Surah Al Qadr, verse 3, that this blessed night is better than a thousand months. On this night, muslims should strive hard in nightly prayers, immense supplications, and engage in the recitation of the Quran.

Allah says,

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ

Transliteration: Layla tul qadri Khairum min alfi shahr

Meaning: The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.

One of the best duas to recite is the dua taught to Aisha R.A. by our beloved Prophet Pbuh. You can recite it at any time of the day and at any number of times, especially during the night prayers.

الْلَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

Transliteration: Allahumma innaka ‘affuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni

Meaning: O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me.

Dua for goodness in this life and the next

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Transliteration: Rabbana aatina fid-dunya hassanatau, wa fil akhirati hassanatau, wa qina ‘adhab an-nar.

Meaning: Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. [Surat Al Baqarah 2:201]

للّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْأَلُـكَ عِلْمـاً نافِعـاً وَرِزْقـاً طَيِّـباً ،وَعَمَـلاً مُتَقَـبَّلاً

Dua for wisdom and knowledge

Transliteration: Allahumma taqabbal minna salatana, wa siyamana, wa qiyamana, wa ruku’ana, wa sujudana

Meaning: Oh Allah, accept our prayers(salat), our fasting, our standing in worship, our bowing, and our prostration.

Importance of Dua During Ramadan

Dua holds a transformative power for personal growth and closeness to Allah. It’s the direct conversation with your Creator, where one expresses its deepest hopes and desires.

It’s the bridge that could lead your prayers to come true, in sha Allah. What better to amplify your duas, than reciting them in the holy month of Ramadan especially when the doors of mercy are opened for us.

Allah says in the Quran,

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

Transliteration: Wa idha sa’alaka ‘ibadi ‘anni fa’inni qareeb. Ujeebu da’wathad da’ee idha da’aan. Fal yasthajeebu’li wal yu’minu bi la’alahum yar shudun

Meaning: When My servants ask you ‘O Prophet’ about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. So let them respond ‘with obedience’ to Me and believe in Me, perhaps they will be guided ‘to the Right Way’. [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:186]

This verse signifies that no matter how close or distant you are from Allah, always ask Him and He will respond to you.
