Ramadan Dua Library
Around fifty supplications for Ramadan, grouped by when you would use them. Each one gives the Arabic, a transliteration, the meaning in English, and its source — with the grading stated, so you can tell an authentic narration from a weak one or from a wording that is simply customary.
Suhoor and the intention to fast
The intention to fast is an act of the heart formed before Fajr; no spoken formula is required for it. The supplications below are the authentic ones connected to the meal and the time before dawn.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
Transliteration: Bismillah
Meaning: In the name of Allah.
Authentic (sahih) Sahih al-Bukhari 5376; Sahih Muslim 2022 — said before eating.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ
Transliteration: Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu
Meaning: In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end.
Hasan sahih Sunan Abi Dawud 3767; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1858 — said if the mention of Allah was forgotten at the start of the meal.

Transliteration: Alhamdu lillahi alladhi at‘amani hadha wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah
Meaning: All praise is for Allah, who fed me this and provided it for me without any might or power on my part.
Good (hasan) Sunan Abi Dawud 4023; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3458 — said after finishing a meal.
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Transliteration: Allahumma barik lana fima razaqtana wa qina ‘adhab an-nar

Good (hasan) Reported in Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Ibn Majah 3264 in wordings on blessing the provision.

Meaning: Glory is to Allah and praise is His; glory is to Allah the Magnificent.
Authentic (sahih) Sahih al-Bukhari 6682; Sahih Muslim 2694 — two phrases light on the tongue and heavy on the scale.
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Transliteration: Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaytu min shahri Ramadan
Meaning: I intend to fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.
Customary wording, not a narration A widely circulated formula, not a narration from the Prophet ﷺ. The established requirement is the intention itself before Fajr — Sunan Abi Dawud 2454.
Breaking the fast
The supplication most Muslims know and use at iftar is the first below. Its chain is mursal, so hadith specialists grade it weak, and that is noted honestly — but its meaning is entirely sound, it has been used across the Muslim world for centuries, and many scholars permit acting on weak narrations in matters of virtue. The second is the best-authenticated wording reported at the time of breaking the fast, and is given alongside it.
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلٰى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
Transliteration: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu
Meaning: O Allah, for You I have fasted, in You I believe, upon You I rely, and with Your provision I break my fast.
Widely used; chain graded weak Sunan Abi Dawud 2358, with the fuller wording also reported through al-Tabarani. The chain is mursal, so specialists grade it weak and it is not attributed to the Prophet ﷺ with certainty — but it is a permissible and very widely used supplication.
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Transliteration: Dhahaba az-zama’u wabtallatil-‘urooqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha’ Allah
Meaning: The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.
Good (hasan) Sunan Abi Dawud 2357 — reported from Ibn Umar. This is the best-authenticated wording reported at the time of breaking the fast.
أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
Transliteration: Aftara ‘indakum as-sa’imun wa akala ta‘amakum al-abrar wa sallat ‘alaykum al-mala’ikah
Meaning: May fasting people break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels send blessings upon you.
Authentic (sahih) Sunan Abi Dawud 3854 — said by a guest for the host.

Transliteration: Allahumma barik lahum fima razaqtahum waghfir lahum warhamhum
Meaning: O Allah, bless them in what You have provided them, and forgive them and have mercy on them.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَجَعَلَنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
Transliteration: Alhamdu lillahi alladhi at‘amana wa saqana wa ja‘alana muslimin
Meaning: All praise is for Allah, who fed us and gave us drink and made us Muslims.
Good (hasan) Sunan Abi Dawud 3850; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3457.

Transliteration: Allahumma inni as’aluka birahmatika allati wasi‘at kulla shay’in an taghfira li
Meaning: O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which encompasses all things, that You forgive me.
Grading differed over Sunan Ibn Majah 1753 — reported in connection with the supplication of the fasting person at the time of breaking the fast; scholars differ on its grading.
Seeking forgiveness
Ramadan is described in the hadith as a month in which sins are forgiven for the one who fasts and stands in prayer out of faith and seeking reward (Sahih al-Bukhari 38 and 37).
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Transliteration: Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduk…
