As the sun sets on Monday, the beauty of voluntary fasting—a practice cherished by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)—shines through, as the gates of heaven open to receive the prayers of those seeking Allah's vast blessings and provision.

Monday Fasting Dua: Reaping the Blessings of Sustenance

Many Muslims follow the Sunnah by fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, the days when deeds are presented to Allah. The moments just before breaking the fast (Iftar) are considered among the most sacred times for Dua, where prayers are not rejected.

Virtues of Fasting on Monday and Thursday

• Increased Rewards: Voluntary fasting complements obligatory acts and multiplies good deeds.

• Closeness to Allah: A powerful way to seek forgiveness and revive the Prophetic tradition.

• Answered Prayers: As the Prophet (PBUH) said: "There are three whose supplication is not rejected: the fasting person until he breaks his fast..."

Prophetic Supplications for Iftar

"O Allah, for You I have fasted, and with Your provision I have broken my fast." "The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills."

Universal Duas for Provision (Rizq)

• "O Allah, suffice me with what is lawful instead of what is forbidden, and make me independent of all others besides You."

• "O Allah, if my provision is in the heavens, send it down; if it is in the earth, bring it forth."
