Ramadan day
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur’an with him. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then used to be more generous than the fast wind. Sahih al-Bukhari 3554

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
Qur’an Verse for the 7th Day of Ramadan:
“وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ”
“And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous.”
— Surah Aal-e-Imran (3:133)
May Allah grant us the ability to seek His forgiveness and strive for righteousness in this blessed month. Ameen.

You said:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
“O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you… so that you may attain taqwa.” (Qur’an 2:183).
Yā Rabb, grant us true taqwa — not hunger without transformation, not thirst without reflection — but hearts that fear You privately and publicly.
On this seventh day, we ask You for firmness.
رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا
“Our Lord, pour upon us patience and make firm our steps.” (Qur’an 2:250)
Grant us patience in fasting.
Patience in prayer. Patience with people. Patience with ourselves.
Allahumma ṭahhir qulūbanā — purify our hearts.
Allahumma aṣliḥ niyyātinā — correct our intentions.
Allahumma aj‘al ṣiyāmanā ṣiyāma ṣādiqīn — make our fasting the fasting of the truthful.
Yā Allah, protect us from spiritual laziness.
Protect us from showing off.
Protect us from wasting Ramadan in distraction.
You promised:
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
“Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” (Qur’an 94:6)
For those struggling financially — bring provision.
For those battling illness — grant shifā’.
For those facing insecurity — grant safety.
For those burdened with anxiety — grant sakīnah.
Yā Allah, forgive our parents — living and deceased.
Elevate their ranks and widen their graves.
رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
“My Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day of Judgment.” (Qur’an 14:41).
On this fourth day of Ramadan, write us among those whose names are recorded among the forgiven.
Make us among those freed from the Fire.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنَّا
O Allah, You love to pardon — so pardon us.
Strengthen our faith. Increase our discipline.
Elevate our character. Accept our fasting and prayers.
Āmīn yā Rabb al-‘Ālamīn.

Best Sahur (pre-dawn meal)
Narrated Abu Hurairah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: *How good is the believers meal of dates shortly before dawn (i.e. sahur)*.
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ أَبُو الْمُطَرِّفِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ “ نِعْمَ سَحُورُ الْمُؤْمِنِ التَّمْرُ ” .
Sunan Abi Dawud 2345, Sahih (Al-Albani) صحيح (الألباني) حكم
*NOTES 📝*
1. At-Tamar (dates) have many benefits, and a great virtue, and the Prophet ﷺ cared for them, and desired them. Also, the life of the companions in Madeenah was based on them greatly. This highlights the nutritional and spiritual value that dates held in the early Muslim community.
2. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ states: *”The best pre-dawn meal (suhur) for a believer is dates.”* This means that among the best foods a believer can consume before dawn in preparation for fasting is dates. The reason for this is the inherent blessings found in both the pre-dawn meal itself and in dates specifically. Consuming dates at this time provides the necessary strength and sustenance to endure the day of fasting.
3. Mulla Ali al-Qaari stated in his commentary of this hadith that at-Tiybi explained that dates are especially praised at the time of suhur because suhur itself contains blessing, and specifying it with dates adds blessing upon blessing. Just as breaking the fast with dates is described as blessed, beginning the fast-related meals with dates at suhur and ending with them at iftar surrounds the act with barakah (Mirqaatul Mafaatih).
Shaykh ‘Abd al-Muhsin al-‘Abbad, om his on part, further noted that the wording “ni‘ma” (نعم) used in the hadith is a clear expression of praise, which indicates that taking dates for suhur is specifically commendable and virtuous. (Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood)
*O Allah, aid us in becoming righteous, grant us Taqwa so that we may do abundant good deeds during the month of Ramadhan and beyond …. Ãmeen*
*DAY 7*
“Patience is one of the greatest virtues of Ramadan. Through fasting, we learn self-control, endurance, and reliance on Allah’s mercy.”
Prayer: “Ya Allah, grant us patience in our trials, gratitude in our blessings, and steadfastness in our faith. Ameen.”
As we advance deeper into Ramadan, it is important not only to fast — but to fast correctly, and to break our fast in the manner taught by the Prophet ﷺ.
Ramadan is discipline.
It is worship. It is refinement of character — even in how we eat.
The Prophet ﷺ encouraged believers to hasten to break the fast once the sun sets.
He said:
لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَجَّلُوا الْفِطْرَ
“People will remain upon goodness as long as they hasten to break the fast.”
(Bukhari & Muslim).
The Sunnah method of breaking the fast is simple and balanced.
The Prophet ﷺ would break his fast with fresh dates.
If fresh dates were not available, then dry dates.
If dates were not available, then a few sips of water.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُفْطِرُ عَلَى رُطَبٍ… فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَتَمَرَاتٍ… فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَسَا حَسَوَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ
(Abu Dawud)
This teaches moderation.
Start light. Pray Maghrib. Then return to eat properly — without excess.
Allah warns us clearly:
وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا
“Eat and drink, but do not be excessive.”
(Qur’an 7:31).
Ramadan is not a month of overeating.
Heavy, oily meals immediately after fasting can weaken the body and reduce concentration in Taraweeh and night worship. Hydrate gradually.
Include fruits, vegetables, and balanced meals.
Preserve your strength for ‘ibadah.
Most importantly, do not miss the du‘ā at the moment of breaking the fast.
The fasting person has a supplication that is not rejected at ifṭār.
This is a spiritually powerful moment — between patience and relief.
An authentic du‘ā to recite is:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Dhahaba al-ẓama’u wabtallati al-‘urūq wa thabata al-ajru in shā’ Allāh
“The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.”
(Abu Dawud)
Another widely recited supplication is:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ
“O Allah, for You I fasted, in You I believe, upon You I rely, and with Your provision I break my fast.”
Beyond these, ask Allah personally — for forgiveness, mercy, health, protection, and barakah.
Ramadan is not about ritual hunger.
It is about spiritual elevation.
Break your fast with gratitude. Eat with discipline.
Make du‘ā with sincerity. Protect your reward.
May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our shortcomings, and grant us steadfastness throughout this blessed month.
Āmīn.
