  • It can be recited anywhere you are eating or preparing for the fast.
• How Much to Recite:
  • It is recited once with sincerity. There is no need to repeat it multiple times.

Background

• Sehri is the meal consumed before dawn during Ramadan, marking the start of the fasting day.
• As mentioned in Islamic teachings, making an intention (niyyah) is a key part of fasting.
• This dua serves as a verbal expression of that intention, helping Muslims focus their hearts and minds on their fast.

Hadith / Quranic Reference

• Hadith Reference:
  • The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
    “Whoever does not have the intention of fasting before dawn, his fast is not valid.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i 2333).
  • This indicates the importance of making an intention, though it does not mandate a specific verbal dua.
• Quran Reference:
  • The Quran emphasizes fasting in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:185). This highlights the obligation of fasting but does not include a prescribed dua for Sehri.
