Dua Al-Iftaar
دعاء الإفطار
Text Size:
Dua al-Iftaar is the supplication recited by a fasting person at the moment of breaking their fast (Iftaar) at sunset. The Prophet (PBUH) taught several versions, the most common being: "The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills." This moment is considered one of the times when supplications are most readily accepted by Allah. It is a time of profound gratitude, acknowledging that the physical sustenance being consumed is a gift from the Provider, and marking the successful completion of an act of worship for His sake. The most common Dua al-Iftaar is: "Dhahaba al-zama' wa abtalat al-'uruq wa thabata al-ajr in sha' Allah" (Thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills). Another authentic version is: "Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu" (O Allah, I fasted for You and with Your provision I break my fast). The time of iftar is a time when supplications are accepted. The Prophet said: "Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of the fasting person when he breaks his fast, the supplication of a just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed" (Tirmidhi). The fasting person should make du'a at iftar for themselves, their family, and the Ummah. The du'a should be sincere and with certainty that Allah will respond. The du'a of iftar is a moment of gratitude. After a day of abstaining from food and drink, the fasting person acknowledges that it is Allah who provided this sustenance. They are grateful for the strength to fast and for the provision to break it. For believers, Dua al-Iftaar is a cherished moment. They pause before eating, raise their hands, and make du'a. They reflect on the blessing of food, the mercy of Allah, and the hope that their fast is accepted. They know that this moment is special, and they do not let it pass without supplication.
