The Authentic Supplication
A comprehensive plea covering the core acts of Ramadan worship — fasting, prayer, bowing, and prostration — offered to Allah in hope of His acceptance.
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ صِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا وَرُكُوعَنَا وَسُجُودَنَا
Allāhumma taqabbal siyāmanā wa qiyāmanā wa rukū'anā wa sujūdanā
"O Allah, accept our fasting, our standing in prayer, our bowing, and our prostration."
Deep Linguistic Analysis
Each word carries profound theological weight drawn from classical Arabic roots resonating through centuries of scholarship.
اللَّهُمَّ
Allāhumma
O Allah — The elevated vocative used exclusively in direct supplication, conveying deep reverence and urgency before the Creator.
تَقَبَّلْ
Taqabbal
Accept — From root q-b-l. A plea for divine approval, recognising that good deeds alone do not guarantee acceptance — only Allah's mercy grants it.
صِيَامَنَا
Siyāmanā
Our Fasting — From sawm, to abstain. Encompasses both the physical act and its spiritual dimension: restraint of the heart, tongue, and senses.
قِيَامَنَا
Qiyāmanā
Our Standing in Prayer — Refers to Qiyam al-Layl, the night prayers including Tarawih and Tahajjud. The standing posture symbolises attentiveness before Allah.
رُكُوعَنَا
Rukū'anā
Our Bowing — Bending before Allah in prayer, representing submission — a physical enactment of humility that words alone cannot express.
سُجُودَنَا
Sujūdanā
Our Prostration — The pinnacle of worship; the moment a believer is closest to Allah. Placing one's forehead on the earth is the ultimate declaration of servitude.
Sacred Context
Fasting holds a position unlike any other act of worship — directly claimed by Allah as His own.
Hadith Qudsi — Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim
Allah says: "Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me and I will reward for it. Fasting is a shield…"
✅ Sahih — Highest AuthenticationSunan al-Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The supplication of the fasting person is not rejected when breaking the fast."
✅ Hasan — Good ChainThe Quran teaches that not all deeds are automatically accepted — "Allah only accepts from the righteous" (5:27). Seeking acceptance (taqabbal) demonstrates the humility that makes worship beloved to Allah.
Spiritual Dimensions

The Prophet ﷺ described fasting as a shield against sin and Hellfire. Seeking acceptance for this shield strengthens its protective power in your spiritual life.

Optimal Recitation Times

Before your fast, ask Allah to accept the day's worship you are about to undertake. Sets a sacred intention for the entire fasting day.
The most powerful window — the Prophet ﷺ confirmed the fasting person's dua is not rejected at this moment.

On the Night of Power — when worship exceeds a thousand months in reward — this supplication reaches its most extraordinary potency.

The most powerful time is just before breaking your fast (Iftar), as the Prophet ﷺ confirmed the fasting person's dua is not rejected at this moment. Also excellent after Tarawih, during Tahajjud, at Suhur, and on Laylat al-Qadr.
Absolutely. While particularly relevant during Ramadan, this dua is beneficial whenever you fast — on Mondays, Thursdays, Ashura, the Day of Arafat, or any voluntary fast.
Allah understands all languages and accepts sincere supplications in any tongue. Start with your native language for understanding, then gradually memorise the Arabic for a deeper spiritual connection.
Islamic theology teaches that Allah's acceptance depends on sincerity, proper intention, and avoiding sins. This dua is a means of seeking acceptance combined with genuine Taqwa and proper fasting etiquette.
Ramadan is not just about fasting but increasing all forms of devotion — Tarawih, Tahajjud, Quran recitation. The dua acknowledges that spiritual growth involves multiple acts of worship working together.
Explain each component simply — fasting makes us grateful; standing in prayer shows devotion; bowing and prostrating demonstrate humility. Practice reciting together at Iftar and create joyful associations with seeking divine acceptance.
