Essential Duas for Shia Muslims in Ramadan: A Guide to Spiritual Upliftment

Ramadan is a month of immense blessings, spiritual growth, and an opportunity to seek closeness to Allah. For Shia Muslims, this sacred month is marked by profound supplications (duas), reflection, and acts of worship that strengthen faith and connection with the Ahlul Bayt (AS). Whether you're seeking forgiveness, guidance, or simply want to immerse yourself in the beauty of divine remembrance, these essential duas will help you make the most of Ramadan.

Daily Duas for Ramadan

Dua for Welcoming Ramadan

As the crescent moon of Ramadan appears, it is recommended to recite a supplication to welcome this blessed month:

“O Allah, bring this month upon us with security, faith, peace, Islam, well-being, abundant sustenance, and protection from sicknesses.”

This dua sets the tone for a spiritually fulfilling Ramadan, asking for divine assistance in fasting and worship.

Dua for Suhoor (Pre-Dawn Meal)

“O Allah, bless my sustenance and grant me the ability to fast and pray during this month.”

Starting the fast with intention and a heartfelt supplication brings barakah (blessings) into the day.

Dua for Breaking the Fast (Iftar)

“O Allah! For You, I have fasted, and with Your sustenance, I break my fast, and upon You, I rely.”

Iftar is not just about breaking the fast; it's a moment of immense gratitude and an opportunity to seek Allah’s mercy.

Duas for Every Night of Ramadan

Every night of Ramadan is precious, and Shia traditions encourage the recitation of duas that elevate the soul. Some of the most important supplications include:

• Dua Al-Iftitah – Taught by Imam Mahdi (AJ), this beautiful dua is recited every night, filled with praises of Allah and supplications for the Ahlul Bayt (AS).

• Dua Abu Hamza Thumali – A deeply emotional and lengthy supplication from Imam Zainul Abideen (AS), typically recited in the later nights of Ramadan.

• Dua Ya Aliyyu Ya Azim – A short yet powerful dua, recommended for every night of the month.

Laylatul Qadr: The Most Powerful Nights

The 19th, 21st, and 23rd nights of Ramadan mark the potential nights of Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree)—a time when destinies are written and prayers are most powerful. Key duas for these nights include:

• Dua for Forgiveness – “O Allah, I ask You by Your revealed book and the greatness of Your name…”

• Dua Joushan al-Kabir – 1000 names of Allah, a supplication for protection and divine mercy.

• Dua Tawassul – Seeking intercession from the Ahlul Bayt (AS) to bring one closer to Allah.

• Recitation of Surah Al-Qadr, Surah Yaseen, and Surah Ar-Rum.

Duas for the Last 10 Days of Ramadan

As Ramadan nears its end, we are encouraged to increase in istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and gratitude. One of the most recommended duas is:

“O Allah! You are Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me!”

This simple yet profound supplication is a reminder of Allah’s endless mercy and an opportunity to cleanse our hearts before Eid.
