The supplication recited at the conclusion of the daily fast during Ramadan is a significant aspect of Islamic practice. This personal prayer, offered at the moment of breaking the fast (Iftar), expresses gratitude to the Divine for the ability to complete the day’s observance and seeks blessings for oneself and others. A common example is the prayer, “Dhahaba al-zama’ wabtallat al-‘uruq wa thabata al-ajr in sha’a Allah” (The thirst has gone, the veins are quenched, and the reward is confirmed, God willing).
The act of making this supplication holds considerable importance within the Islamic faith. It is believed that the prayer of a fasting person is especially accepted at the time of Iftar. This practice reinforces the spiritual discipline cultivated throughout the day of fasting, fostering humility and a deeper connection with the Divine. Historically, the recitation of specific prayers at this time has been emphasized in religious texts and propagated through generations of Islamic scholars and practitioners.
