Best Dua’s (Prayers) For Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of Islamic calendar. It is known for fasting.  This is a month in which Allah Almighty gave us the most mercy among others. Here are few of the prayers that we need to perform in whole Ramadan to gain more kindness from Allah, the most merciful. These prayers (Dua) are so beneficiary for us. I quoted most of them from here.

Prayer when fast begins: Suhoor

“Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri Ramadan”.
Translation: I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.

Prayer when fast break: Iftar

“Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizq-ika aftarthu”.
Translation: O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I put my trust in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance.

Prayer when break fast at someone’s home

“Aftara ‘indakumus saa’imuna, wa akala ta’aamakumul-abraaru, wasallat ‘alaikumul mala’ikat”.
Translation: May those who are fasting break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food and may the angels send prayers upon you.

You can see above, these are some of the most frequent prayers (dua) in the month of Ramadan.

Now if we dig deeper, we will find Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that we should need to recite these two things most often in Ramadan. First is “La’ila ha il’lallah” and secondly “Astagh firullah”. Recite them in whole Ramadan any time and all the time. The more you do, the more better it will be. actually Allah Almighty gave us this month as a gift, so we adjust of our body and soul. Allah says in Holy Quran, Chapter: 2, Verse: 185 “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).”

Conclusion: This is not typical conclusion as what normally you can see but it is some sort of advice to all my dearest brothers and sisters. Look, Allah Almighty gave us pure gold-mine in the shape of Ramadan. Now it’s our turn to took an opportunity. Totally up to us that how many can we dig from it.

Try to pray about hell fire as most as you can, think about it, imagine about it. You will feel its intensity and you say “Astagh firullah” automatically, but the only thing is just don’t stop it. Do it regularly and with consistency. On the other end, try to think about heaven, think about it, imagine it and just feel that if you want to catch all that, you surely have to drive your car on right path with consistency and patience. As Allah Almighty said “Our Lord, forgive us  and our sins and the excess (committed)  in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.” (Qur’an 3:147)
