In
general, du`aa’ (supplication) can be said in your own language or in
Arabic. But some, such as “Bismi-llahi” and “Al-hamdu lillahi”, are
short and easily learned, and also frequently said, so you should learn them
in Arabic. In the du`aa’s given below, click on the icon to hear the Arabic.
1.
Whenever you eat or drink anything, you should first say:
ÈöÓúãö
Çááøóåö
Bismi-llah.
In
the name of Allah.
2.
And if you forget to say it before starting, say when you remember:
ÈöÓúãö
Çááøóåö Ýöí Ãóæøóáöåö æóÂÎöÑöåö
Bismi-llahi
fi awwalihi wa aakhirih
In
the name of Allah in its beginning and end.
3.
When you finish eating, say:
ÇáúÍóãúÏõ
áöáøóåö
Al-hamdu
lillah.
All
praise to Allah.
4.
Or even better, say this du`aa’ (supplication) at the end of a meal:
ÇáúÍóãúÏõ
áöáøóåö ÇáøóÐöí ÃóØúÚóãóäöí åóÐóÇ
æóÑóÒóÞäöíåö ãöäú ÛóíúÑö Íóæúáò ãöäøöí
æóáÇó ÞõæøóÉò
Al-hamdu
lillahi-lladhi at`amani hadhaa wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa laa
qoowah
All
praise to Allah Who fed me this and provided it for me without any might nor
power from myself.
When
you fast in Ramadan or any other time, make a du`aa’ as you break your
fast, for the du`aa’ of the fasting person is heard. `Abdullah ibn `Amr
ibn Al-`Aas related that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon
him) said, “Indeed the fasting person has at the time of breaking fast, a
supplication which is not rejected.”
5.
One of the Prophet’s supplications upon breaking fast was:
ÐóåóÈó ÇáúÙøóãóÃõ¡ æóÇÈúÊóáøóÊö
ÇáúÚõÑõæÞõ¡ æóËóÈóÊó ÇáÃÌúÑõ Åöäú ÔóÇÁó
Çááøóåõ
Dhahaba
azh-zhama’u, wa-btallati al-`urooqu, wa thabata al-ajru in shaa’ Allah.
The
thirst has gone and the veins are quenched, and reward is confirmed, if Allah
wills.
6.
One of the Companions of the Prophet, `Abdullah ibn `Umar, used to make this du`aa’
upon breaking his fast:
Çááøóåõãøó Åöäøöí ÃóÓÃóáõßó
ÈöÑóÍúãóÊößó ÇáøóÊöí æóÓöÚóÊú ßõáøó ÔóíúÁò
Ãóäú ÊóÛúÝöÑó áöí
Allaahumma
inni as’aluka birahmatika al-lati wasi`at kulli shay’in an taghfira li
O
Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelopes all things, that You forgive me.
7.
Here is a du`aa’ to say when you break your fast in someone’s home:
ÃóÝúØóÑó ÚöäúÏóßõãú ÇáÕøóÇÆöãõæäó
æóÃóßóáó ØóÚóÇãóßõãõ ÇáÃóÈúÑóÇÑõ¡
æóÕóáøóÊú Úóáóíúßõãõ ÇáãóáÇÆößóÉ
Aftara
`indakum as-saa’imoona wa akala ta`aamakumu al-abraaru, wa sallat `alaykumu
al-malaa’ikah.
May
the fasting break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat
your food, and may the angels send prayers upon you.
