Dua for Suhoor (Pre-Dawn Meal)
The intention and supplication for starting your fast before Fajr — a time of great barakah.
Niyyah (Intention) for Fasting
Widely accepted
وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaitu min shahri Ramadhan
Translation: "I intend to keep the fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan."
Note: The intention (niyyah) for fasting must be made before Fajr (dawn). The niyyah is in the heart — verbally saying it is a recommended practice. The intention covers each day individually.
Dua at Suhoor Time (Seeking Barakah)
Muslim 1098
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي سُحُورِنَا
Allahumma barik lana fi suhurina
Translation: "O Allah, bless us in our Suhoor."
When to recite: During or after the Suhoor meal. The Prophet ﷺ emphasised Suhoor: "Have Suhoor for there is barakah (blessing) in it." (Bukhari & Muslim)

Duas During Fasting
Supplications for protection, forgiveness, and steadfastness throughout the fasting day.
Dua When Abused While Fasting
Bukhari 1904, Muslim 1151
إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، إِنِّي صَائِمٌ
Inni saa'im, inni saa'im
Translation: "I am fasting, I am fasting."
Context: The Prophet ﷺ said: "If someone insults you or tries to fight with you while you are fasting, say: 'I am fasting, I am fasting.'" This restrains the nafs and protects the fast from spiritual damage.
Astaghfirullahal-ladhi la ilaha illa huwal-Hayyul-Qayyumu wa atubu ilayh
Translation: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I repent to Him."
Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever says this, their sins will be forgiven even if they fled from battle. Recite abundantly during Ramadan for maximum forgiveness.
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar
Translation: "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."
Note: Quran 2:201. Anas (RA) said this was the most frequent dua of the Prophet ﷺ. The most comprehensive dua that covers all needs of this life and the next.

Laylat al-Qadr Duas (Night of Power)
Recite on all 5 odd nights of the last 10 days — March 15, 17, 19 are the most important in 2026.
The Special Laylat al-Qadr Dua — Taught by Prophet ﷺ
Translation: "O Allah, You are Forgiving, You love forgiveness, so forgive me."
Story: Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ: "If I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say?" He taught her this exact dua. Recite it repeatedly on all odd nights of the last 10 days. In 2026: Mar 15–16, Mar 17–18 (27th — most observed), Mar 19–20.
Allahumma inni as'alukal-jannata wa a'udhu bika minan-nar
Translation: "O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I seek refuge with You from the Fire."
Context: Increase this dua during the last 10 nights. Paradise is opened, Hellfire gates are closed, and Satan is chained during Ramadan — making this the most powerful time to make this supplication with conviction.
Tip for the Last 10 Nights: Recite Surah Al-Qadr (97) abundantly, increase Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ, pray Qiyam al-Layl (Tahajjud), and make long personal duas in your own language. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever stands in prayer on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven."

Taraweeh Prayer Duas
Supplications recited between sets (raka'aat) of Taraweeh prayer each night of Ramadan.
Subhana dhil-mulki wal-malakut, subhana dhil-'izzati wal-'azamati wal-haybati wal-qudrati wal-kibriya'i wal-jabarut. Subhanal-malikil-hayyil-ladhi la yanamu wa la yamut. Subbuhun quddusun rabbul-mala'ikati war-ruh.
Translation: "Glory be to the Owner of dominion and sovereignty. Glory be to the Owner of honour, greatness, majesty, power, pride and might. Glory be to the Living King who neither sleeps nor dies. Most Pure, Most Holy, Lord of the Angels and the Spirit."
When: Recited during the short pause between every 4 raka'aat of Taraweeh prayer (after every 2nd pair). This is a beloved Taraweeh tradition in many mosques globally.
Allahumma-hdini fiman hadayta wa 'afini fiman 'afayta wa tawallani fiman tawallayta wa barik li fima a'tayta wa qini sharra ma qadayta, innaka taqdi wa la yuqda 'alayk, wa innahu la yadhillu man walayta, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta'alayt.
Translation: "O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being, take me into Your care among those You have taken care of, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. Verily You decree and none can decree over You. Surely none is humiliated whom You take as a friend. You are Blessed, our Lord, and Exalted."
When: The Witr prayer is performed as the last prayer of the night, usually after Taraweeh. This Qunoot dua is recited in the last raka'ah before or after ruku' (bowing).

Daily Dhikr for Ramadan
Short yet powerful phrases to repeat throughout the day — especially while fasting when the rewards are multiplied.
Subhanallah wa bihamdih (100x Daily)
Bukhari 6405, Muslim 2691
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
Subhanallahi wa bihamdih
Translation: "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him."
Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever says 'Subhanallahi wa bihamdih' 100 times in a day will have his sins forgiven even if they were as much as the foam of the sea." (Bukhari) — Ideal to recite between tasks, commuting, or resting after Suhoor.
Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u bidhanbI, faghfir li fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant.
Translation: "O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your slave. I am bound by the covenant and pledge to You to the best of my ability. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You."
Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever says this during the day with conviction and dies that day before evening, he will be from the people of Paradise. And whoever says it during the night with conviction and dies before morning, he will be from the people of Paradise." (Bukhari)
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir
Translation: "There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He has power over all things."
Virtue: Reciting this 100 times in a day equals freeing 10 slaves, records 100 good deeds, erases 100 bad deeds, provides protection from Shaytan all day, and no one will bring a deed better than this except one who recites it more. (Bukhari)
