English: I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّی لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلٰی رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
English: O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I put my trust in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance.
Urdu: اے اللہ! میں نے تیرے ہی لیے روزہ رکھا اور تجھ پر ہی ایمان لایا اور تجھ پر ہی بھروسہ کیا اور تیرے ہی دیے ہوئے رزق سے افطار کیا۔

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

FAQs: Ramadan & Sehri Masail
Q: Can I keep the fast if I miss the Sehri meal? A: Yes. While eating Sehri is a blessed Sunnah, the fast is valid as long as you make the intention before dawn.
Q: Does using an inhaler break the fast? A: Most scholars agree that since the spray contains particles that reach the lungs and stomach, it breaks the fast. Patients should consult their doctor and religious scholar for specific medical exemptions.
Q: Is it permissible to use eye drops or ear drops? A: According to most modern rulings, eye drops do not break the fast. However, ear drops may invalidate it if the eardrum is perforated.
Q: What if I finish my meal exactly as the Azaan starts? A: You must stop immediately. The “Sehri End” time is the absolute limit; eating during or after the Azaan usually invalidates the fast.
