2. INTENTION
You must make your intention to fast as follows: “O Allah, I intend to fast this day for the Month of
Ramadān.”
DU`Ā FOR BREAKING THE FAST
At Maghrib sunset time, recite the following Du`ā to break the fast: “O Allah, I have observed the
fast for Your sake. I believe in You, I place my trust in You, and I break my fast with the food
provided by You.”
ZAKĀT: Zakāt is calculated on your minimum net worth for the last twelve months and is 2.5%
of that value.
FITRA: Fitra is equivalent to the cost of an average meal and is estimated to be at least $10.00. It is
obligatory on each and every Muslim. It is payable at any time during Ramadān, but not later than
the beginning of Salātul `Id.
