When Breaking Fast
Allaahumma laka Sumtu Wa Bika Aamantu Wa `Alaa Rizqika Aftartu
O Allah, I have fasted for You and in You have I believed and with Your provision do I break my fast
The Holy month of Ramadhan is a great opportunity for all believers to reestablish their relationship with Almighty Allah . During this month, Allah opens the doors of guidance, mercy, and forgiveness and showers His blessings on mankind. Blessed are those who avail this opportunity and work hard to obtain the pleasure of Allah.
Following are some points to remember that may help us have a better Ramadan:
Sahoor: Rasulullah said, "Allah sends blessings on those who eat Sahoor (meal before Fajr) and the angels pray for them." (Ibn Habban) We should never miss Sahoor as it is blessed food and a Sunnah of the Prophet .
Then it is SEHRI/SAHOOR TIME which is the closing of the fast it is sunnah and very benefical to eat and drink somthing at this time

Then eat a date and drink somthing some people them start eating fully others wait until after they have prayed Magrib Salaah ( i think the latter is best, just my opinion though) in the month of Ramadhan you should try and do extra ibadaat so after you Magrib salaah try and read some nafil nammaz called SALAATUL AWBEEN (Which is between 6-12 rakaats) insha'allah
Unfortunately, it is very common in many Masajid to sit and chat after iftaar. This time should be used for Nawafil prayers, recitation of the Holy Qur’an, Tasbeeh, and Dua. Masjid is the House of Allah . It must be given its due respect. Disrespecting the house of Allah is disrespect to Allah .
Raising the voice or talking of worldly matters in the Masjid is forbidden. It is the responsibility of every Muslim to maintain the order, silence, respect, and cleanliness in the Masjid.
Salat Al-Taraweeh: Perform twenty raka’ah of Taraweeh every night.
In this blessed month we read Salat Al-Taraweeh: Perform twenty raka’ah of Taraweeh every night
After Esha and Taraweeh prayers try to read some quran even if you cannot read arabic then read the english version insha'allah you should aim to finish atleast 1 whole quran in the month of ramadhan....
Salat Al-Tahajud: Other than Taraweeh, perform some raka’ah of Tahajud prayer.
Try to wake up early in the morning so you can read Salat Al-Tahajud This nafil salaah is so loved by allah swt it is said that this is a special time to make dua,
Dua: After Tahajud, spend some time making Dua for yourself, your family, the community, and the whole Muslim Ummah. This is extremely needed and very few do it. Every person in the family should engage in Dua and prayers in the darkness of the night and in isolation. Cry before Allah for forgiveness and for all of your needs.
Also wake up your children and teach them how to make Dua to Allah . Teach them how to cry before Allah , for those who do not cry before Allah will have to cry before people like themselves.
Crying and begging to Allah attracts His Mercy. Rasulullah encouraged his followers to cry when making Dua.
Perform the additional following ibadah:
1. Recite Istighfaar 100 times a day (i.e. Astaghfirallah)
2. Send blessing on Rasulullah 100 times a day
3. Tasbeehaat 100 times a day (i.e. Subhanallah Wal-Hamdulillah wala Illaha Illallah Wallahu Akbar)
4. Recite at least one Juz of the Qur’an every day
You should rinse your mouth out before closing your fast as this gets rid of the little bits of food still in our teeth, then you should close you fast with this dua
When begininng the fast
Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadhan
I intend to keep a fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadhan
Read your fajr salaah then try and read more quran.
Then throught out the day try and read a certain amount of quran (that you are able to do) increase Dhikr (Remeberance of allah) increase Istighfaar and Durood sharif... do not miss any of the farz salaah and try & read extra salaah( nafil)
I understand you work so try and put as much prayers and duas in around you works time
other things to bear in mind are
Avoid all kinds of sins: Rasulullah said, "Many of those who fast get nothing out of it except hunger" (Nasa’ee) Advising his wife, once Rasulullah said, "O Aishah, refrain from even the minor sins because Allah will question you about them also." (Ibn Majah)
Do not become angry: Avoid all quarrels, fights, and arguments which may lead you to anger.
Use only Halal food bought by Halal earnings. Avoid all doubtful items.
Reduce the amount of:
1. Eating
2. Sleeping
3. Talking
i hope i didnt confuse you from starting at Magrib time...if you have any questions pls ask there is so much info to give insha'allah our other sister & brothers will help to and adivse you and give you some helpful hints
Insha'allah we willput the extra info in this topic
Love and duas
