Dua of Fasting
Fasting during Ramadan is centred on your intention. Reciting duas (prayers) before beginning, keeping your fast, and for opening or breaking your fast is a way to create sincere intention.
When the athan for Maghrib is heard, it is encouraged to recite an iftar dua, and in the morning during sahoor/sehri, a dua for fasting. The purpose of these duas is to remind yourself of your intention before undertaking an action.
