In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Authentic Invocation to Begin the Fast If you are reading any dua to being your fast then what you are doing is a bidah. There is NO dua which is to be said when you start the fast. Only the intention (niyah) is required which is NOT be said from the mouth but ONLY from your mind (niyat). Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and everyone shall have but that which he intended…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1; Muslim, 1907) "Whoever does not intend to fast before dawn, there is no fast for him.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 730) The intention (niyyah) is an action of the heart. The Muslim should resolve in his heart that he is going to fast tomorrow. It is not prescribed for him to utter it out loud and say, “I intend to fast” or “I will fast tomorrow” or other phrases that have been innovated by some people. The correct intention is when a person resolves in his heart that he is going to fast tomorrow. read more : Uttering the intention to fast out loud is an innovation (bidah) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveIslam_LiveIslam/message/258 Authentic & UnAuthentic Dua for Iftaar !!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveIslam_LiveIslam/message/263 ________________________________ ue Aug 10, 2010 1:28 pm Show Message Option ________________________________ View Source Use Fixed Width Font Unwrap Lines ________________________________ Asma Bint Saeed <asmaahmadk...@yahoo.com> asmaahmadkhan Offline Send Email Invocations for Breaking the Fast 176.

Al-Hafidh graded it as good in his checking of An-Nawawi's Kitabul-'Athkdr. See Sharhul- Athkar 4/342. If you are reading this below 'dua'.. (Allaahumma laka sumtu ....). then we suggest you to read any one of the above dua's.
