The fasts are the shield of the mumineen on the Day of Judgment, just as your weapons shield you and protect you from your enemy. One who provides iftaar to a mumin in the month of Ramazaan, shall be granted the reward of liberating a slave (in the path of Allaah) and shall have all his previous sins forgiven. And if he did not possess the means to present anything except milk mixed with water, or a drink of sweet water or a date, Allaah would grant him this reward.
It is incumbent upon us to seek forgiveness and do du'a-e-khayr i.e. supplicate excessively in the month of Ramazaan. As for the supplication, by means of it the calamities are warded off from us, and as for the seeking of forgiveness, it erases away our sins. This Du'a should be recited at the end of the fast i.e. roza-iftaari and it surely invites the rehmat of Allaah and it enriches the hope of the rozadaar for the best of reward on the Day of Reckoning.

Translation :
I begin with the name of Allaah and His Hujjat, Imaam uz-Zamaan (as), the most beneficent and the most merciful for us in every era and who is always present on this earth for our guidance.
O Allaah! the one Who answers my questions, O answerer of wishes, O resolver of all difficulties, O reliever of all sadness and sorrow, O Hannaan (affectionate), O Mannaan (gracious), O the master of Jalaal (loftiness) and Ikraam (honour). O Allaah! Who has granted most precious thing of His treasure – Imaan, even before being asked for. Then, You don’t deprive us of a smaller thing of Your treasure – forgiveness and salvation, when we ask for it. Send blessings on Rasoolullaah (saws) and his pious progeny and shower us with Your kindness, health and forgiveness, return our debts with your benevolence and accept our repentance and penitence. Indeed, You are the one who admits our repentance and You are the merciful. Include us on this day, among the group of the people who You have freed from the Fire of Hell. Protect us from the evilness of the enemies and jealous ones, with your blessings, O the most merciful of the merciful ones.
O Allaah! we have kept fast for You and have belief in You and ended the fast on Your wealth, and so accept the fast from us. Our thirst is quenched and our arteries are filled and the reward is awaited, if Allaah wishes. |
