The Significance of Sehri and Iftar
- Sehri: This pre-dawn meal is essential for sustaining energy throughout the day. It is consumed before the Fajr prayer, and the intention (niyyah) for fasting is made during this time. The dua for Sehri is:
“Wa bisawmi ghaddan nawaiytu min shahri Ramadan” (I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan). - Iftar: The fast is broken at sunset with dates and water, followed by a wholesome meal. The dua for Iftar is:
“Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizq-ika aftarthu” (O Allah, I fasted for You, and I believe in You, and I put my trust in You, and I break my fast with Your sustenance).
