Ramadan is a month of immense mercy, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation. It’s a time when our hearts are drawn closer to Allah through prayer, fasting, and deep reflection. One of the best ways to prepare for Ramadan is by strengthening our connection with duas—supplications that bring us peace, guidance, and nearness to our Creator.
To help you get ready, we’ve gathered five simple yet powerful duas that you can memorize before Ramadan begins. These duas will help you ask for Allah’s mercy, seek forgiveness, increase gratitude, and make the most of this sacred month.
1. Dua for Reaching Ramadan
One of the most beautiful duas we can make before Ramadan is asking Allah to grant us the blessing of witnessing this sacred month in good health and strong faith.
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبَ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ
Allāhumma bārik lanā fī Rajaba wa Sha‘bāna wa ballighnā Ramaḍān.
"O Allah, bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan."
(Musnad Ahmad 2346)
📌 Why Memorize This?
This dua expresses gratitude for the opportunity to witness another Ramadan and asks for barakah (blessings) in the months leading up to it.
2. Dua for Fasting (Suhur and Iftar)
Fasting is a central act of worship in Ramadan, and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us a simple yet profound dua to say when breaking our fast.
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ العُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Dhahaba al-ẓamaʾu wabtallati al-ʿurūqu wa thabata al-ajru in shāʾ Allāh.
"The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is assured, if Allah wills."
(Abu Dawood 2357)
📌 Why Memorize This?
Reciting this dua at iftar helps remind us that fasting isn’t just about hunger—it’s an act of obedience and gratitude for Allah’s provisions.
3. Dua for Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power)
Laylatul Qadr, the most blessed night in Ramadan, is when the Quran was revealed. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to recite this dua in abundance on this special night.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allāhumma innaka ʿafuwwun tuḥibbu al-ʿafwa faʿfu ʿannī.
"O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3513)
📌 Why Memorize This?
On Laylatul Qadr, sins are forgiven, and destinies are written for the coming year. This short but powerful dua helps us seek Allah’s mercy.
4. Dua for Guidance and Strength in Ramadan
Ramadan is a time of renewal, and this Quranic dua is a perfect way to ask Allah for steadfastness and sincerity.
رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Rabbanā afrigh ʿalaynā ṣabran wa thabbit aqdāmanā wa anṣurnā ʿalā al-qawmi al-kāfirīn.
"Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, make our steps firm, and grant us victory over the disbelievers."
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:250, Mustafa Khattab translation)
📌 Why Memorize This?
This dua is perfect for those struggling with consistency in worship, seeking strength in fasting, or asking for help in overcoming personal struggles.
5. Dua for Acceptance of Deeds
One of the greatest concerns for any Muslim is whether their worship is accepted by Allah. This Quranic dua is a sincere request for Allah to accept our Ramadan efforts.
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Rabbanā taqabbal minnā innaka anta al-samīʿu al-ʿalīm.
"Our Lord! Accept (this) from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
