(The BEST time for Dua to be accepted !) PDF Jpg Ettiquettes of Iftar (pdf)

"Almighty Allah (swt) releases from Hellfire one million persons in the last hour everyday in the month of Ramadhan; therefore pray to Almighty Allah (swt) to include you with these released ones"

It is advisable to postpone breaking one's fast until the evening/night prayers have been performed (after reciting the Magrib & Isha Prayer - if offered together), unless one is too weak to continue fasting or other people are waiting for you to break the fast.(Ref No 1759)

it is better break his fast with the food that is pure and free from illegality (haram wealth), especially with dates so that the reward of his prayer will become four hundred times. Also it is appropriate to break one's fast either with date and fresh water, or fresh date or milk or sweetmeat or sugar-candy or boiling water.

It is advisable to recite Sura Qadr at the time of breaking the fast.

It is advisable to offer food to other fasting people even if with a single date and a drink of water. Allamah Hilli in al-Risalah al-Sa'diyyah has narrated that Imam Ja'far Sadiq (as) has said, "If a believer treats another believer with a single morsel of food in Ramadhan, Almighty Allah (swt) will give him the reward of freeing thirty believing slaves and his wishes will be granted."

O my Allah, for Thee, I fast, and with the food Thou gives me I break the fast, and I rely on Thee.

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ

ALLAAHUMMA LAKA S'UMTU WA A'LAA RIZQIKA AFT'ARTUWA A'LAYKA TAWAWKKALTU

It has been narrated that Imam Ali (as) used to say the following when he would break his fast:

In the name of Allah, O Allah, we fast, and with the food Thou gives us we break the fast, an obligation we fulfill, and Thou art Hearer, Knower

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

BISMILLAH ALAAHUMMA LAKA S'UMNAA WA A'LAA RIZQIKA AFT'ARNAA FA—TAQABBAL MINNAA INNAKA ANTAS SAMEE—U'L'A'LEEM

Say the following when the first morsel of food is taken

In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful, O He whose indulgence is boundless, forgive me

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ اغْفِرْ لِي

BISMILLAHIR RAH'MAANIR RAH'EEM YAA WAASI—A'L MAGHFIRATI IGFIR LEE

Recite the Supplication of 'Allahumma Rabba Nuril Azeem (below) reported by Sayyid ibn Tawus and al-Kaf'aimy. This supplication brings about great merit. The Holy Prophet (saws) recommended this dua to Imam Ali (as) and said that Jibreel (as) came to me and said," Whoever in the holy month of Ramadhan before iftaar recites this dua, Allah (swt) answers his prayer, accepts his prayer and fasting, grants his ten requirements, forgives his sins, removes his grief's, makes his heart at ease, grants his wishes, makes his deeds to ascend upward with the deeds of prophets and righteous saints and on the Day of Judgment brings him to HIS presence with his face illuminated like a bright moon."

Fast-breaking (iftar): It is recommended to break one's fast after Evening Prayer (Maghrib) unless he faints from hunger or a group of people are waiting for him Second, one had better break his fast with the food that is pure and free from illegality, especially with dates so that the reward of his prayer will become four hundred times. Also it is appropriate to break one's fast either with date and fresh water, or fresh date or milk or sweetmeat or sugar-candy or boiling water.

Third, one should recite the du`as specifically related for the time of fast-breaking (iftar) at this time; among them is the following:

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ

O my Allah, for Thee, I fast, and with the food Thou gives me I break the fast, and I rely on Thee.

Also it has been related that when Imam Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, wanted to break his fast, he recited:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْ (فَتَقَبَّلْهُ) مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

In the name of Allah, O Allah, we fast, and with the food Thou gives us we break the fast, an obligation we fulfill, and Thou art Hearer, Knower.

Fourth: Before (eating) the first morsel he should recite:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ اغْفِرْ لِي

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful, O He whose indulgence is boundless, forgive me.
