Ramadan Iftar Dua (Roza Kholne Ki Dua) with Arabic, Transliteration & Hadith Reference
Ramadan is the month of blessings, and the best oppurtunity to ask Allah for anything — forgiveness, mercy, guidance, and relief from difficulties. Our beloved Prophet ﷺ said that the dua of a fasting person at the time of Iftar is not rejected.
“There are three whose supplication is not rejected:
The fasting person when he breaks his fast,
the just ruler,
and the supplication of the oppressed.
Allah raises it above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven for it…”
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3598 )
This shows how powerful the moment of breaking fast is. Make sincere dua at Iftar; it is a special time of acceptance.
Alongside your personal duas, there are some Arabic narrations that you can recite at the time of Iftar to thank Allah, declare His greatness, and praise Him.

Below are the duas commonly recited at the time of breaking fast or Iftar.
1- Most Popular Iftar Dua
This Dua is commonly recited by Muslim Ummah, during Iftar time.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
Transliteration:
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu
Translation:
“O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I place my trust in You, and with Your sustenance I break my fast.”
2- Dua to Recite After and Before Breaking Fast
This dua was recited by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWﷺ) when he broke his fast.
Arabic:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Dhahaba adh-dhama’u wabtallatil-‘urooqu wa thabatal-ajru in shaa Allah
Translation:
“The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.”(Sunan Abi Dawud 2357 )
Don’t Forget: You may also make personal dua before taking the first sip — this is a powerful moment of acceptance.
