Why Making Dua in Ramadan is Important
Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed, and the gates of mercy are open. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that the dua of a fasting person is not rejected. This makes Ramadan the perfect time to ask Allah for forgiveness, guidance, provision, health, and Jannah.
Increase your supplications during suhoor, before iftar, during Tahajjud, and especially in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
These Ramadan duas help strengthen your connection with Allah and make your fasting more meaningful. Save this list, share it with family and friends, and make the most of this blessed month by increasing your supplications daily.
May Allah accept your fasting, prayers, and duas. Ameen.
