Ramadan Duas You Need to Know in 2025

As we approach the blessed month of Ramadan in 2025, it’s time to reflect on how we can make this Ramadan truly transformative. Fasting, worship, and good deeds are central during this holy month. However, one powerful act that we often overlook is dua (supplication).

In Ramadan, dua holds special significance, and it is the perfect time to draw closer to Allah, ask for His mercy, and seek His guidance.

Dua is the weapon of the believer, and in the words of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), “Dua is worship” [Abu Dawud]. Every moment of Ramadan is an opportunity to make a connection with our Creator through sincere supplication. The act of fasting makes dua even more powerful because our hearts are open, our focus is undistracted, and our devotion is at its peak.

Let’s take this opportunity to make the most of Ramadan by focusing on specific duas that can enhance our spiritual journey and allow us to receive Allah’s mercy and blessings.

The Power of Dua in Ramadan

We are all familiar with the immense benefits of fasting, but dua during fasting—especially as we break our fast—is incredibly powerful. The Prophet (ﷺ) shared that there are three categories of people whose supplications are never rejected, one of whom is the fasting person at the time of breaking their fast. [Tirmidhi]

As Ramadan approaches, let’s prepare ourselves to approach dua with sincerity and mindfulness. Whether it’s supplicating for our personal needs, asking for forgiveness, or praying for the betterment of the Ummah, these moments of connection with Allah are priceless. The dua of a fasting person is elevated, especially when made at the right time.

Here are six key Ramadan duas to know, to help you feel spiritually connected and maximize your rewards:

1. When You See the Crescent Moon

اللَّهمَّ أَهلَّهُ علينَا بالأمنِ والإيمانِ والسَّلامةِ والإسلامِ ربِّي وربُّكَ اللَّهُ
Allahumma ahillahu alayna bil-amni wal-iman was-salaamati wal-islam. Rabbi wa rabbuka Allah.
Oh Allah, make it a start full of peace and faith, safety, and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.

The beginning of Ramadan is a special moment, and seeing the crescent moon reminds us of the blessing ahead. This beautiful dua encapsulates peace, faith, and protection as we embark on this holy month.

2. The Dua for Closing the Fast

وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadan.
I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.

As we prepare to begin our fast, setting an intention is essential. This simple dua helps us approach fasting with a clear heart and mind, knowing that we are fulfilling our religious obligation and seeking closeness to Allah.

3. The Dua for Opening Your Fast

ذهب الظمأ وابتلت العروق وثبت الأجر إن شاء الله
Dhahaba adh-Dhama’ wabtallatil-urooq wa thabatal-ajr inshaa’Allah.
Thirst is gone, the veins are wet, and the reward is confirmed by the will of Allah.

The moment we break our fast is incredibly powerful. This dua is a reminder of the relief that comes with breaking our fast and the reward that awaits us, insha’Allah. It’s the perfect time to make personal duas, as Allah is closest to His servant at this moment.

4. If Someone Angers You While Fasting

إني صائمٌ ، إني صائمٌ
Innee saa’im, innee saa’im.
I’m fasting, I’m fasting.

During Ramadan, maintaining patience and controlling our emotions is a key part of our fast. If someone angers you while you are fasting, calmly recite this dua to remind yourself of your higher purpose. Let this dua serve as a reminder to remain humble and composed, even in challenging situations.

5. The Dua for Breaking Your Fast with a Group of People

أفطر عندكم الصائمون ، وأكل طعامكم الأبرار ، وصلت عليكم الملائكة
Aftara indakum as-saa’imoon, wa akala ta’aamakum al-abraar, wa sallat alaikum al-malaa’ikah.
May the fasting people break fast at your place, and may the pious eat from your food, and may the angels pray for you.

Ramadan is a time for communal bonding and sharing meals. If you break your fast with others, this beautiful dua expresses gratitude for the shared meal and asks for blessings upon those with whom you gather.

6. Laylatul Qadr Dua

اللَّهمَّ إنَّك عفُوٌّ تُحبُّ العفوَ فاعْفُ عنِّي
Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbu al-afwa fa’fu anni.
Oh Allah, You are Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.

Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, is one of the most sacred nights in Ramadan. It is a night when Allah’s mercy is abundant. This dua is a plea for Allah’s forgiveness, and it is especially powerful on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, when the mercy of Allah is at its peak.

Making the Most of Ramadan Dua

Ramadan is a time to strengthen our relationship with Allah. It is also a time for compassion, charity, and reflection. As you make your duas, remember that Allah listens to every supplication, whether in Arabic, English, or any other language. He knows your heart, your struggles, and your desires.

This Ramadan, let’s make dua not just for ourselves, but for those who are struggling around the world—whether it’s for the oppressed, the hungry, the sick, or those seeking peace. Every time you raise your hands in supplication, remember that your dua can be a source of hope and change for others too.

A Call to Duty: Give the Gift of Ramadan

While Ramadan is a time for worship, it’s also a time for giving. For those of us who are blessed with abundance, Ramadan provides the perfect opportunity to donate to those in need. Help build mosques in areas where people yearn to hear the call to prayer. Your generosity, along with your duas, can bring peace to the lives of many.

Wishing You a Blessed Ramadan

As we embark on this sacred month, let’s remember that our duas, combined with acts of kindness and charity, can create a ripple effect of blessings. May your Ramadan be filled with peace, love, forgiveness, and countless answered duas.

Ameen.

By incorporating these duas into your daily routine, you’ll not only enhance your spiritual connection but also elevate your fasting experience in 2025. Don’t wait—make dua today, and make this Ramadan your most impactful yet!
