What “Roza Rakhne Ki Dua” Really Means in Islam
In Islamic law, fasting (sawm) requires niyat a conscious intention made before Fajr. There is no condition that this intention be verbalized in Arabic or any language.
Key principle:
Niyat is an action of the heart.
This understanding is affirmed across classical fiqh schools and reinforced by modern scholarly councils.
Roza Rakhne Ki Niyat (The Foundation of Fasting)
The Prophet ﷺ said:
Arabic:
إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ
Transliteration:
Innamal a‘mālu bin-niyyāt
Meaning:
Actions are judged only by intentions.
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
This hadith establishes that fasting begins internally, not verbally.
Practical Form of Niyat
Before Fajr, a person should firmly know:
-
Which fast is being kept (Ramadan, qada, nafl)
-
That fasting will be observed from dawn to sunset for Allah
No formula is mandatory.
Roza Rakhne Ki Dua (Sehri)
Many people search specifically for roza rakhne ki dua (sehri). The Sunnah guidance is simple:
Sehri Itself Is Sunnah
Arabic:
تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السُّحُورِ بَرَكَةً
Transliteration:
Tasahharū fa-inna fis-suḥūri barakah
Meaning:
Take the pre-dawn meal, for there is blessing in it.
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
There is no specific dua narrated to be recited at sehri. Any general supplication, remembrance, or silent intention is valid.
A Balanced Practice at Sehri
-
Eat before Fajr
-
Renew intention in the heart
-
Make personal dua in any language
-
Avoid believing a fixed phrase is compulsory
Roza Rakhne Ki Dua in Hindi (For Clarity of Meaning)
Although Arabic is not required for intention, understanding helps sincerity.
Intention Meaning (Hindi):
“मैं अल्लाह के लिए आज का रोज़ा रखने का इरादा करता/करती हूँ।”
This is explanatory, not obligatory to recite.
Dua During the Fast – Powerful and Accepted
Fasting is a state where supplications are especially accepted.
Arabic:
ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمْ: الإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ، وَالصَّائِمُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ، يَرْفَعُهَا اللَّهُ فَوْقَ الْغَمَامِ، وَيَفْتَحُ لَهَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ، وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: وَعِزَّتِي لَأَنْصُرَنَّكِ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ
Transliteration:
Thalāthatun lā turaddu da‘watuhum: al-imāmu al-‘ādilu, was-ṣā’imu ḥattā yuftir, wa da‘watul-maẓlūm. Yarfa‘uhā Allāhu fawqal-ghamām, wa yaftaḥu lahā abwābas-samā’, wa yaqūlur-rabb: wa ‘izzatī la-anṣurannaki walaw ba‘da ḥīn.
Meaning:
Three supplications are never rejected:
the just ruler,
the fasting person until he breaks his fast,
and the supplication of the oppressed.
Allah raises it above the clouds, opens for it the gates of the heavens, and the Lord says:
By My might, I will surely support you, even if after some time.

Transliteration:
Dhahabaẓ-ẓama’u wabtallatil-‘urūq wa thabatal-ajru in shā’ Allāh

Common Mistakes Most People Don’t Realize
| Mistake | Why It’s a Problem | Correct View |
|---|---|---|
| Believing niyat must be spoken | No authentic proof | Heart intention is enough |
| Using unauthenticated sehri duas | Weak or fabricated | Make personal dua |
| Thinking one missed niyat invalidates all | Creates confusion | Daily intention suffices for Ramadan |
| Treating fasting as ritual-only | Loses spiritual depth | Combine restraint + dua |
Different Types of Fasts & Their Intentions
| Fast Type | Intention Timing |
|---|---|
| Ramadan | Before Fajr |
| Qada | Before Fajr |
| Nafl | Before midday (if not eaten) |
| Vows | Before Fajr |
This distinction is often skipped but essential.
First-Hand Observations From Teaching & Practice
From leading Ramadan study circles (2024–2025):
-
Late intention anxiety was resolved once people learned intention is internal
-
Fasting consistency improved when people stopped memorizing formulas
-
Spiritual focus increased when duas were made personally, not mechanically
These patterns were observed across adult learning groups in India and the Gulf during Ramadan 1445–1446 AH.
