Unlocking the Power of Dua at Iftar

This Quranic verse, "And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me" (Quran 2:186), highlights the significance of supplication, especially during Ramadan and at iftar.

A Special Time for Supplication

The placement of this verse within the fasting verses emphasizes the importance of dua during Ramadan, particularly at iftar, when acceptance is heightened.

Prophetic Guidance

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, for the fasting person at the time of breaking his fast, there is a supplication that is not rejected." This underscores the value of making dua just before iftar, when humility and physical hunger converge.

Optimal Dua Times

Before breaking fast: When humility and physical hunger peak.
Raise hands, face Qiblah: Ask for worldly and Hereafter blessings.

Authentic Supplications

Prophetic Dua: "Thirst has gone, the veins are moist, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills."

Powerful Duas:

"O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and seek refuge in You from the Fire." (Repeat 3 times)
"O Allah, accept my fasting and forgive my sins."

Key Reflections

Supplication before iftar is highly recommended.
Personal duas are accepted without fixed wording.
Seek Jannah and protection from Hellfire.
