Ramadan 2022/1443 Timetable and Advice

The Intention for Fasting (Niyyah)

The intention’s place is the heart, not the lips. Neither the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), nor any of his companions, ever pronounced the intention verbally. The intention to fast must be present before Fajr at the lastest.

Du‘aa during Breaking the Fast

The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) used to say this du’aa at the time of iftaar:

A person may supplicate with any other good words along with the above. However, it is not correct to specify any particular du‘aa for iftaar that was not specified by the Prophet.

Ramadan Advice in Brief

• Read more Qur’aan and offer more units of prayer and do it with reflection, humility and attentiveness.
• Share and provide food for fasting people to gain a reward similar to theirs, especially the poor and needy.
• Perform your five prayers on time in congregation to gain the reward and Allaah’s protection.
• Do your best to attend the taraaweeh prayers.
• Give plenty of charity.
• Break your fast as soon as the sun sets – don’t delay.
