Addressing the Weak Dua<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is another dua that is often circulated as a supplication for iftar, which is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arabic:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0650\u0651\u064a \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0635\u064f\u0645\u0652\u062a\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0631\u0650\u0632\u0652\u0642\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0637\u064e\u0631\u0652\u062a\u064f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transliteration:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘ala rizqika-aftartu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cO Allah, for You have I fasted, and by Your provision, I have broken my fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this dua is widely quoted, it has been classified as weak (da’if<\/strong>) in terms of authenticity. Scholars, including Al-Albani, have reviewed the hadith narrating this dua and determined it to be unreliable (Da’if Abi Dawud 510)<\/em>. As such, Muslims are encouraged to prioritise the authentic supplication mentioned earlier, especially during spiritually significant moments like breaking the fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spiritual Gem of Iftar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ramadan offers a unique opportunity to pause at the time of iftar and engage in heartfelt supplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prophet \ufdfa said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just leader, and the supplication of the oppressed person; Allah raises it above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
