Iftar Dua
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu
“O Allah, for You I have fasted, in You I believe, upon You I rely, and with Your provision I break my fast.”
Commonly recited Iftar wording. A related report is found in Sunan Abi Dawud 2358, but its chain is weak; this page therefore does not label the wording as an authenticated prophetic formula.
At Iftar
You may also make personal du‘a before and after breaking the fast. The wording above is retained as a commonly used supplication while its source strength is stated plainly.
Transliteration is a guide only; recite from the Arabic where you can. References are given so you can verify each wording.
Quick-reference Iftar wording
This page uses the same requested Arabic wording as the longer Dua for Breaking the Fast page. The longer page contains the source discussion; this page is retained as a concise reading view for users who search specifically for “Iftar dua”.
Why this page remains separate
The site keeps this concise “Iftar Dua” URL for users who want a quick reading view, while the longer “Dua for Breaking the Fast” page contains the fuller discussion of the wording and chain. Both pages use the same Arabic text so users do not encounter conflicting supplications across the site.
Personal dua at Iftar
A user is not limited to a memorised Arabic formula. Personal supplication can be made in one’s own words, especially for forgiveness, family, guidance and accepted worship.
Use the wording consistently
This site uses the owner-selected wording “Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu” for its Iftar card and full breaking-fast page. The source note remains visible because the commonly circulated expanded wording is not supported by the same strength of chain as the best-established breaking-fast reports.
When to say it
The practical act is to break the fast when Maghrib begins according to the timetable you follow. A dua can be made around that moment. The page does not tell users to delay Iftar in order to complete a long formula.
Translation and transliteration
The transliteration is a reading aid, not a substitute for the Arabic text or meaning. Small spelling differences in Latin letters do not necessarily indicate a different Arabic phrase.
