Abu Huraira (RA) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: Supplication of three men is not rejected

1. The supplication of the fast observer when he breaks his fast

2. The supplication of a just ruler

3. The supplication of the oppressed soars higher than clouds, and the doors of the sky are opened for it, and the Lord says that time: I swear to my honor! I will surely help you out after a certain period.

We find two supplications for breaking fast. The first and most popular dua for breaking fast is:

Dua For Breaking Fast at Someone’s Home

In Islam, breaking someone’s fast has the same reward as fasting. The messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then for him is the same reward as his (the fasting person’s) without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person. (Tirmizi Hadith#807)

We should also accept the invitation to break the fast by our Muslim brother as taught by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). So if you are breaking fast at your Muslim someone’s home, you must recite the following dua:

أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأَبْرَارُ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ

“Aftara indakumu-saemuna wa-akala ta-amakumul abraru wasallat alaikumul malaikah”

“May fasting people break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels send blessings upon you.”

. تمہارے ہاں روزہ دار روزے افطار کرتے رہیں ، تمھارا کھانا نیک لوگ کھائیں، اور فرشتے تمہارے لیے رحمت کی دعائیں کریں

Allahumma inni as-aluka birahmatikal-lati wasi-at kullu shai-in an taghfirali

O Allah! I ask You by Your all-pervading mercy to forgive me.

اے اللہ ! میں تجھ سے تیری اس رحمت کے واسطے سے سوال کرتا ہوں جس نے ہر چیز کو گھیر رکھا ہے کہ تو میری مغفرت فرما دے
