16. It is best to break one’s fast with dates and water.

Hazrat Salmaan bin Aamir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “At the time of iftaar, one should break his fast with dates as this is full of blessings, and if one does not have dates, then he should drink water as this is a means of purification.” [1]

Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would break his fast with fresh dates before performing the Maghrib Salaah. If fresh dates were not found, then Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would break his fast with dry dates. If dry dates were not found, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would break his fast with a few sips of water. [2]

17. One should recite the following dua after breaking one’s fast:

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَعَلٰى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ

O Allah, I have kept this fast solely for You, and with Your sustenance I have broken my fast. [3]

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ

(My) thirst has been quenched, and the veins have been moistened and the reward has been obtained (by Allah Ta‘ala) insha-Allah. [4]

18. If you are able to provide iftaar for a fasting person, then you should do so, even if it be by giving him a date to break his fast. [5]

19. Sit for I’tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadhaan if you are able to. [6]

20. Search for Lailatul Qadr during the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhaan.

Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that when Ramadhaan began, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Certainly this month (of Ramadhaan) has dawned upon you, and within it there is a night greater than a thousand months. The one who is deprived of this night has certainly been deprived of all good, and only the truly deprived ones will be deprived of the good of this night.” [7]

[6] (الاعتكاف سنة مؤكدة) لأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واظب عليه روى أبو هريرة وعائشة أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان منذ قدم المدينة إلى أن توفاه الله تعالى وعن الزهري أنه عليه الصلاة والسلام ما ترك الاعتكاف حتى قبض وهو من أشرف الأعمال إذا كان عن إخلاص (الاختيار 1/ 136)
