Sehri Dua – Prayer for keeping fast
Sehri is a blessed meal consumed before dawn during Ramadan, marking the beginning of the daily fast. It is a time of spiritual reflection, gratitude, and intention-setting for the day ahead. Before starting the fast, Muslims recite the Sehri Dua (intention for fasting) to seek Allah’s blessings and make their fast valid.
Sehri Dua in English Translation
“میں نے رمضان کے مہینے کے کل کے روزے کی نیت کی۔”

This short yet powerful supplication expresses sincerity and commitment to observing the fast for the sake of Allah. It is important to recite this dua with a pure heart, ensuring the fast is started with the right intention.
Significance of Sehri & Making Dua
- Prophetic Sunnah: Eating Sehri is highly recommended, as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Eat Sehri, for in Sehri there is blessing.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
- Increased Barakah: Reciting the Sehri Dua invites Allah’s blessings and strengthens one’s intention for fasting.
- Spiritual Preparation: It helps in mentally and spiritually preparing for the day of fasting with sincerity and devotion.
Sehri is not just about eating before dawn—it is a moment of spiritual connection and an opportunity to start the fast with blessings. Recite the Sehri Dua with faith, and may your fast be rewarded and accepted by Allah.
