Problem: the common confusion

Most confusion comes from one question: “Is there one fixed dua that must be said to start fasting?” People also mix up intention (niyyah) with “a special sentence.” Then social media adds more versions, and beginners feel worried. The truth is easier than most people think. (en.wikipedia.org)

Insight: Qur’an meaning + Sunnah practice + a practical fiqh rule

Islam teaches that intention lives in the heart. Words can help you focus, but the heart is the real place of niyyah. The Sunnah strongly encourages suhoor and making dua, because it builds barakah and keeps you steady. In Hanafi fiqh, intention for Ramadan can be made at night and is valid without long phrases.

Solution: simple wording, a timing table, and a daily checklist

Instead of memorizing ten lines, keep two things strong: (1) correct intention and (2) good timing. Below you’ll get a clear, easy set of English duas and habits you can repeat daily. That’s how most families keep Ramadan peaceful and consistent, even with busy schedules.

Why dua matters when you’re fasting

Dua turns a routine into worship. Suhoor, water, and a quiet moment before dawn can become deeply meaningful when you ask Allah for help. Many people notice that a short, sincere dua makes fasting feel lighter—especially on hard days. Ramadan isn’t only about hunger. It’s about closeness, patience, and hope. (britannica.com)

The main idea: intention is simple

Before we get into specific lines like Sehri Ki Dua, it helps to know this: you do not need a “magic sentence” to make your fast count. If you know tomorrow is Ramadan and you plan to fast, that is intention. Saying a short dua is still beautiful because it helps your heart stay present.

A beginner-friendly “start of fast” dua (English + transliteration)

Here is a commonly used intention wording. It is popular in many homes. Use it as a helper, not as a strict requirement.

Transliteration: Nawaitu ṣawma ghadin ʿan farḍi Ramaḍāna lillāhi taʿālā
Simple English meaning: “I intend to fast tomorrow for the obligation of Ramadan, for Allah.”

If you say it in your own language, that is also fine. Intention is not a tongue test. It is a heart decision.

Sehri duas: what people usually mean

Many people ask for the sehri ki dua in English because they want something to read at suhoor time. A safe and simple approach is to do two things:

Start with Bismillah before eating
Make a short dua asking for strength, acceptance, and barakah

You can say, “O Allah, help me fast sincerely today and accept it from me.” Short, honest, and heartfelt works best.
