HasbiyAllahu laa ilaaha illa huwa alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabbul arshil adheem
Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him. He is the Lord of the Majestic throne.
Al-Quran 9:129
There is no special dua’a to begin the fast, Niyah means intending by heart, it is not necessary to utter it by mouth.
Words regarding the niyah have not been narrated from the Prophet Mohammad pbuh (صلي الله عليه وسلم).
Ya Muqallibal qulub, thabbit qalbi ‘ala deenik
Oh Turner of hearts, keep my heart steadfast on your religion.
Mishkat Al-Masabih 102
Oh my Lord, forgive and have mercy and You are the best of those who show mercy.”
“O Allah! Save me from the hell’s fire.”
I seek forgiveness from Allah for all my sins and turn to Him.
Prophet (S.A.W.) said that “Reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas (Surah No. 112) one time is equal to one third of the Quran. So reciting it three times is equal to reward of reading entire Quran.” (Surah Ikhlas: 112) (Sahih Bukhari: 5015)
