dua for opening fast
Here is the commonly recited dua for opening (breaking) the fast at iftar:
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَى
رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ
Transliteration:
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala
rizqika aftartu.
Meaning (English):
“O Allah, I have fasted for You, and I believe in You, and I put my trust in
You, and I break my fast with Your sustenance.”
You can recite this right as you begin to break your fast (with a date or sip of water) and then make your own personal duas, as this is a blessed time for supplication.
