About this Supplication & Hadith Context
Meaning, spiritual background, and authentic virtues from the Sunnah
✦The Prophetic Supplication at Sunset
Upon breaking his fast, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite: 'Dhahabadh-dhama'u, wabtallatil-'uruq, wa thabatal-ajru in sha' Allah' ('The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills' — Sunan Abi Dawud 2357, classified Hasan-Sahih).
✦Guaranteed Acceptance of the Fasting Person's Dua
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in Sunan Ibn Majah (1753): 'Indeed, for the fasting person at the time of breaking his fast, there is a supplication that is not rejected.' The moments right before and after Iftar are among the most spiritually charged opportunities for personal prayer.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dua for Opening Fast at Iftar

What is the authentic Dua for breaking fast at Iftar in Arabic?▼
Arabic: ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ. Transliteration: 'Dhahabadh-dhama'u, wabtallatil-'uruqu, wa thabatal-ajru in sha' Allah' (Sunan Abi Dawud 2357).
What is the English translation of this Iftar Dua?▼
'The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills' (Sunan Abi Dawud 2357).
What is the other common Iftar prayer (Allahumma laka sumtu)?▼
'Allahumma laka sumtu wa 'ala rizqika aftart' (O Allah, for You I have fasted and upon Your provision I have broken my fast — Sunan Abi Dawud 2358). While widely recited, scholars note 'Dhahabadh-dhama'u' has the stronger Hadith chain.
Should I say the Dua before or after taking the first sip of water?▼
You say 'Bismillah' before taking your first bite of date or sip of water, and then immediately recite 'Dhahabadh-dhama'u...' after drinking and eating, as the words 'the thirst has gone and veins are moistened' describe the physical reality.
What should you say if someone hosts you for Iftar?▼
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for his hosts (Sunan Abi Dawud 3854): 'Aftara 'indakumus-sa'imun, wa akala ta'amakumul-abrar, wa sallat 'alaykumul-mala'ikah' ('May the fasting break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels send blessings upon you').
Are Duas made right before Iftar answered?▼
Yes! Dedicate 5 to 10 minutes before the Maghrib Adhan to raise your hands and ask Allah for forgiveness, family health, and Jannah, as the fasting person's prayer at that time is never rejected.
