Ramadan is the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar and a special time for Muslims worldwide. It is a month of fasting from dawn till sunset, but it is also much more than that. Ramadan is about connecting deeply with our faith, reflecting on our lives, and seeking closeness to Allah. One powerful way to do this is through dua (supplication).
In this blog, we will discuss the significance of dua during Ramadan and share a list of 10 powerful duas to include in your prayers. These duas can help you seek forgiveness, guidance, and blessings, making your Ramadan experience even more meaningful and fulfilling.
Ramadan isn’t just about fasting from dawn till dusk; it is a time for deep spiritual connection and growth, making it the perfect opportunity to engage in dua.
Ramadan provides an ideal time to seek forgiveness and cleanse the heart. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Verily, Jibril (AS) came to me, and he said: ‘Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire, and Allah will cast him far away. So, say “Amin”.’ I said, ‘Amin’.”
(Sahih Ibn Hibban, 907)
Expressing gratitude is another essential aspect of dua during Ramadan. It is a time when Muslims reflect on their blessings and express thanks to Allah for His countless favours. Dua offers a platform to acknowledge and appreciate these blessings.
Additionally, Ramadan is a time for seeking guidance and clarity. As individuals strive to improve spiritually, they often turn to Allah for guidance and wisdom through dua.

Translation: “O Allah, let the crescent loom above us in peace and faith, safety and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.”

Transliteration:“Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaitu min shahri Ramadan."
This dua is commonly recited to express the intention to fast the next day in Ramadan. While it is widely used, it does not have a direct reference from any hadith.
