Sehri aur Iftar Ki Dua: Ramadan 2027 Guide

سحری اور افطار کی دعا، رمضان ۲۰۲۷

2026-10-08 · Hanafi

Sehri aur iftar ki dua are among the most searched duas of Ramadan. Here is the authentic iftar dua, the truth about the "sehri dua", Ramadan 2027 dates and timetables for your city.

Iftar ki dua

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ العُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Dhahaba az-zama'u wabtallatil-'uruqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha Allah. "The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills." The Prophet ﷺ said this when he broke his fast (Sunan Abu Dawud 2357, graded hasan).

"Allahumma laka sumtu..."

The well-known Allahumma laka sumtu wa bika amantu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu is reported in Abu Dawud as a mursal narration and is graded weak, but its meaning is good and many scholars allow saying it. Saying the sahih dua above is best.

Sehri ki niyat

The fast needs an intention, and the intention is in the heart: waking for sehri with the plan to fast is the niyat. The phrase wa bisawmi ghadin nawaitu min shahri ramadan is a common way of expressing it, not a dua from the hadith; saying it is optional.

Ramadan 2027 dates

Dates depend on moon sighting; the sehri and iftar times for each date don't change.

Sunnahs of sehri and iftar

• Eat sehri, even a little: there is blessing in it, and delay it close to Fajr.
• Hasten iftar as soon as the sun has set.
• Break the fast with fresh dates, or dry dates, or water.
• Make dua at iftar: the dua of a fasting person is not rejected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iftar ki dua kab parhein, pehle ya baad mein?

The sahih dua Dhahaba az-zama'u... is said after taking the first sip or date, as its words ("the thirst has gone") show.
