Importance of Duas in Ramadan.
The importance of reciting dua for breaking fast Ramadan, or reciting duas in general can be seen in the following verse. Allah almighty said in the holy Quran:
“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.” [Surah al-Baqarah:186]
In the above verse, Allah is telling us that he is near to us, and when we supplicate duas and call upon him he will respond to our duas. What is important about duas and supplications is to have faith that Allah will respond to your duas. That’s all you need to do, ask Allah for help, and deep inside you believe in Allah and know that he is there for you and will grant you what you wish for.
