Roza Kholne Ki Dua Arabic, Urdu & English Translation

“Roza kholne ki dua” is the short supplication many Muslims say at sunset when they break the fast. It sounds simple, but in real life people still get stuck: “Which words are correct?” “Do I say it before the first sip?” “What if I’m at work or stuck in traffic?” This guide keeps it practical and calm.

Arabic:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّی لَکَ صُمْتُ وَبِکَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْکَ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَعَلٰی رِزْقِکَ اَفْطَرْتُ

Transliteration:
Allahumma inni laka sumtu, wa bika āmantu, wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu, wa ‘alā rizqika aftartu.

English Translation:
“O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I place my trust in You, and I break my fast with Your provision.”

Urdu Translation:
“اے اللہ! میں نے تیری خاطر روزہ رکھا، تجھ پر ایمان لایا، تجھ پر بھروسہ کیا، اور تیرے رزق سے روزہ افطار کرتا/کرتی ہوں۔”

Hindi Translation:
“ऐ अल्लाह! मैंने तेरे लिए रोज़ा रखा, तुझ पर ईमान लाया, तुझ पर भरोसा किया, और तेरे ही रिज़्क़ से रोज़ा खोल रहा/रही हूँ।”

The common problem Muslims face at iftar

In UK and US homes, iftar often happens in a rush. A child is hungry, the adhan is about to start, and everyone is checking the clock. Some people repeat a long dua from memory. Others stay silent, worried they’ll say it “wrong.” That pressure can steal the peace of the moment.

The key insight: keep the sunnah, keep the heart present

Islam makes iftar easy. You break the fast as soon as Maghrib enters. You thank Allah for His provision. You can say a short dua, and you can also make your own personal dua. The goal is gratitude, not perfection.

Qur’an reference 1: Allah is close and responds to dua

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:186)
Transliteration: Wa idhā sa’alaka ʿibādī ʿannī fa-innī qarīb, ujību daʿwata ad-dāʿi idhā daʿān.
Meaning (short): Allah is near and answers the caller when they call on Him: Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186 (Alim.org)

Qur’an reference 2: fasting has a clear ending time

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:187)
Transliteration: Thumma atimmū aṣ-ṣiyāma ilā al-layl.
Meaning (short): Complete the fast until night (sunset), then you may break it.: Surah Al-Baqarah 2:187 (Alim.org)

What to say at iftar: the most common duas people use

When people search “Iftar Dua,” they usually want a short, memorable line that matches the sunnah feeling of the moment. Many families read:

Allahumma inni laka sumtu… (a popular wording in communities)
Dhahaba adh-dhama’… (a well-known prophetic wording)

A helpful Hanafi-friendly approach is: break the fast on time, say a brief dua, and keep your heart grateful.

Hadith guidance: how the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast

The Sunnah gives us a simple pattern: break fast promptly, and keep it light and blessed.

Hadith reference 1: a beautiful dua at the moment of breaking the fast

Sunan Abu Dawood — Hadith 2357
Meaning (short): The Prophet ﷺ would say at iftar: thirst is gone, veins are refreshed, and reward is confirmed, if Allah wills. : Read the dua of the Prophet ﷺ at iftar (Abu Dawood 2357)

Hadith reference 2: break the fast with dates or water

Jami` at-Tirmidhi — Hadith 696
Meaning (short): The Prophet ﷺ would break fast with fresh dates, or dry dates, and if not available then with water. See how the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast (Tirmidhi 696)

A simple “fiqh + real life” rule that reduces stress

Here’s the practical rule most people need: iftar begins when Maghrib time starts. Don’t delay without reason. If you’re unsure about the timetable, follow a trusted local masjid schedule or a reliable app used by your community.

In Ramadan, this one habit brings peace: stop debating at the table, and focus on worship and gratitude.

Solution: a quick iftar checklist you can follow daily

Use this in the UK/USA whether you’re at home, at the masjid, or at work.

Confirm Maghrib time (local timetable).
Make a short intention: “I’m breaking my fast for Allah.”
Say your chosen dua briefly.
Break with a date or wait if you can.
Pray Maghrib, then eat calmly.

This is where Roza ki dua becomes real: not a long script, but a small moment of sincerity.

Suitable situations table

Suitable situation	What to do in that moment	Keep it simple
Busy family table (kids hungry)	Say a short dua, break fast, then settle	One line is enough
Office break room (UK/USA)	Break with water/date, whisper dua	No need to be loud
Stuck in traffic at sunset	Pull over safely if possible, break with water	Safety first
Community iftar at masjid	Follow the adhan, break fast, pray	Don’t delay
Learning resources	Use trusted Islamic sites (example: www.quranmualim.com)	Learn steadily

Small habit tips that make iftar more meaningful

These are simple habits I’ve seen help families and students stay consistent:

Keep dates and water ready five minutes before Maghrib.
Let one person lead the dua so there’s no confusion.
Make a short personal dua after the first sip (health, family, guidance).
Avoid scrolling at iftar; give Allah that first minute.
Teach children meaning, not just pronunciation.

And if you’re sharing food, remember: feeding others in Ramadan is a huge opportunity for reward and community warmth.

FAQ

Can I say the dua after I take the first sip?

Yes. It’s best to say it at the moment of iftar, but if you start eating first, you can still make dua right away.

What if I don’t remember any Arabic?

No problem. Make dua in English. Allah understands every language, and sincerity matters more than fluency.

Is “Allahumma laka sumtu…” always authentic?

Some wordings are popular in communities, but scholars discuss strength of chains. The safest approach is using well-known authentic supplications and making personal dua too.

Do I need to break fast with dates?

It’s a sunnah, not a strict requirement. If dates aren’t available, water is a beautiful and simple option.

How can I keep my iftar calm in Ramadan?

Prep early, keep one short dua, and avoid arguments at the table. A peaceful iftar often starts with good planning.

Conclusion

The best iftar is not the longest speech at the table. It’s a calm sunset, a grateful heart, and a steady sunnah routine. Choose a short Iftar dua you understand, break the fast on time, and make sincere personal dua every day of Ramadan. Roza kholne ki dua becomes powerful when it leads you back to gratitude and consistency.
