The holy month of Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, devotion, and community. Observing fasts, offering prayers, and engaging in acts of charity are all integral parts of this sacred period. Sehri, the pre-dawn meal consumed before commencing the fast, holds a special significance. It not only provides sustenance for the day ahead but also serves as an opportunity to seek blessings from Allah (SWT).

The Importance of Sehri Dua:
Several authentic hadiths (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) emphasize the importance of making dua (supplication) during Sehri.
Hadith: “Whoever intends to fast during Ramadan, should make an intention at the time of Sehri.” (Sahih Bukhari)
Hadith: “There are three who are guaranteed the intercession on the Day of Judgement: the just ruler, the one who gives charity abundantly, and the one who fasts and observes his fasts meticulously.” (Sahih Ibn Majah)
These hadiths highlight the significance of setting a sincere intention to fast and the importance of observing the fast with dedication. Making dua during Sehri reinforces this intention and helps individuals approach the fast with a focused and mindful mindset.
Sehri Dua:
وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
The most commonly recited dua during Sehri is:
“Nawaitu min shahri Ramadan haadha an أصومَ (aswumu) ghadًا لله تعالى, famin wajadahtuhu fa huwa minhu, wa man lam yajidhuhu fahu min Ramadan.”
Translation:
“I intend to fast tomorrow, for the month of Ramadan, for the sake of Allah (SWT). If I find the new moon (sighting it), then my fast is valid, and if I do not find it, then it is still part of Ramadan.”
Additional Supplications:
While the above dua is the most widely recited, individuals can also offer personal supplications seeking Allah’s (SWT) guidance, strength, and acceptance of their fast.
