Second Iftar Dua (Dua After Breaking the Fast)
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast, he would say:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Sunan Abu Dawud: 2357, graded hasan
Roman English: Zahabaz-zama’u wabtallatil-‘uruqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha Allah.
हिंदी: ज़हबज़्ज़मउ वब्तल्लतिल उरूक़ु व सबतल अज्रु इन शा अल्लाह।
हिंदी तर्जुमा: प्यास चली गई, रगें तर हो गईं, और इन शा अल्लाह अज्र साबित हो गया।
پیاس چلی گئی، رگیں تر ہو گئیں، اور ان شاء اللہ اجر ثابت ہو گیا۔
Translation: The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.
Which Dua Should I Read at Iftar?
Both. The first dua, “Allahumma inni laka sumtu”, is the one most people in India and Pakistan know. Its chain of narration is mursal (a tabi’i narrates it directly from the Prophet ﷺ), so scholars of hadith grade it weak, though its meaning is sound and it has been recited by Muslims for centuries. The second dua, “Zahabaz-zama’u”, has a hasan chain and is recited after taking the first sip or bite. A simple practice is: say Bismillah, eat a date or drink water, then recite “Zahabaz-zama’u”, and recite “Allahumma inni laka sumtu” as well if you wish.
Roza Kholne Ka Tarika (Sunnah of Breaking the Fast)
- Break the fast as soon as the sun sets. The Prophet ﷺ said people will remain in goodness as long as they hasten to break the fast. (Sahih al-Bukhari: 1957; Sahih Muslim: 1098)
- Say Bismillah before eating.
- Break it with fresh dates; if not available, dry dates; if not, a few sips of water. (Sunan Abu Dawud: 2356; Jami at-Tirmidhi: 696)
- Recite the iftar dua after the first bite or sip.
- Make personal dua. The Prophet ﷺ said the fasting person has a dua at the time of iftar that is not rejected. (Sunan Ibn Majah: 1753)
- Pray Maghrib, then eat the main meal.
Dua When Breaking Fast at Someone’s House
When you eat iftar at another person’s home, the Prophet ﷺ taught this dua for the host (Sunan Abu Dawud: 3854):
أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ، وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ، وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
Roman English: Aftara ‘indakumus-sa’imun, wa akala ta’amakumul-abrar, wa sallat ‘alaykumul-mala’ikah.
Translation: May the fasting people break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels pray for you.
Reward of Giving Iftar
The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever gives iftar to a fasting person will have a reward like his, without the fasting person’s reward being reduced in any way. (Jami at-Tirmidhi: 807, graded sahih) Even a date or a glass of water counts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I read the iftar dua before or after eating?
“Zahabaz-zama’u” is recited after breaking the fast, because it says “the thirst is gone”. “Allahumma inni laka sumtu” is recited by most people just before eating, and some recite it after. Either is fine, as long as Bismillah is said before the first bite.
Is the fast valid if I forget the dua?
Yes. The dua is a Sunnah, not a condition. The fast is complete when you break it after sunset.
Can I read roza kholne ki dua in Hindi or English?
The Hindi and Roman English versions help you learn the words. Try to memorise the Arabic, and read the translation to understand what you are saying.
What is the exact time to break the fast?
At sunset (Maghrib), when the Maghrib adhan is called. Check the Ramadan Calendar 2027 for sehri and iftar time in your city.
What if I broke my fast a minute early by mistake?
If you were sure the sun had set and it turned out it had not, most scholars say that fast must be made up (qaza) after Ramadan, with no kaffarah. Ask a scholar about your own case.
