Ramadan Dua

Maximising Rewards Through Ramadan Duas

Ramadan is a blessed month in Islam, known for the immense rewards it offers for good deeds. Muslims strive to make the most of this month because in Ramadan, the reward for every good action is multiplied. There are numerous ways to worship during this time. Below are just a few ways in which you can:

Giving to Charity

Supporting those in need not only helps others but also invests in your afterlife.

Fulfil your obligation this Ramadan and Give Your Zakat to support orphans and vulnerable families.

Praying Sunnah Prayers, including Taraweeh

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan out of sincere faith and seeking its reward from Allah will have all of their previous sins forgiven.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Seeking the Forgiveness of Allah

Especially during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, staying up to worship brings great blessings.

Reading the Qur’an

Every letter recited in Ramadan carries multiplied rewards, Insha’Allah.

The Reward of Ramadan Fasting

Fasting during the days of Ramadan and worshipping during the nights offer immense rewards, both physical and spiritual. It fosters gratitude for Allah’s blessings and reminds us of the less fortunate.

Those who fast in Ramadan and observe voluntary fasts will be invited to enter Jannah through a special gate called Ar-Rayyan. There are eight gates to Jannah:

1. Baab As-Salaat: For those who are diligent in their prayers.
2. Baab Al-Jihad: For those who participated in Jihad, defending Islam.
3. Baab As-Sadaqah: For those who regularly gave in charity.
4. Baab Ar-Rayyaan: Reserved for those who fasted, including in Ramadan.
5. Baab Al-Hajj: For Muslims who performed the Hajj pilgrimage.
6. Baab Al-Kaazimeen Al-Ghaiz Wal Aafina Anin Naas: For those who controlled their anger and forgave others.
7. Baab Al-Iman: For those with sincere faith.
8. Baab Al-Dhikr: For those who consistently remembered Allah.

Ramadan Duas

Making dua in the month of Ramadan, especially during the last 10 nights, is highly encouraged. Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) is particularly significant as it commemorates the revelation of the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Certain duas are recommended during Ramadan at specific times, such as in the first 10 days, the last 10 days, or when starting and ending the fast.

Orphans in Need has put together a Ramadan Dua list with a couple of duas to recite during the blessed month.

Dua for First 10 Days of Ramadan

Allahumma arhamni birahmatika ya arhamar-rahimeen

(O Allah, have mercy on me with Your mercy, O the Most Merciful of the merciful.)

Dua for Last 10 Days of Ramadan (Laylatul Qadr Dua)

Allahumma innaka Afuwwun (Karimun) tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee

(O Allah, indeed, You are Pardoning, (Generous) You love to pardon, so pardon me.)

Dua for Opening and Closing the Fast

Dua for Suhoor (The Dua for Fasting During Ramadan):

Recite this dua when starting your fast:
Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri Ramadan.
(I intend to fast tomorrow in the holy month of Ramadan.)

Dua for Iftar (Dua to Recite at the Time of Breaking Fast):

Say this dua when breaking your fast:
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa alayka tawakkaltu wa ala rizq-ika-aftartu.
(O Allah! I fasted for You, I believe in You, I rely on You, and with Your sustenance, I break my fast.)
