Prayer For Opening Iftar
The philosophy of fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, and to discipline ourselves the better to free ourselves. To fast is to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.
"O Allah, the Lord, (this is) the month of Ramadan, in it Thou revealed the Holy Quran, and in it made obligatory "fasting" upon Thy servants, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, and provide us with the means to go to Thy Sacred House for "Hajj" this year and every year; and in this month forgive my grave sins, verily, other than Thee, no one can liberate (me) from its consequences, O Beneficent, O Omniscient."
I seek forgiveness of all my sins from Allah who is my lord and sustainer and I return back in repentance to him alone.
Oh Allah, I intend to fast today in accordance with your laws and for your benefit. Please accept my fast, forgive my faults, and bring me closer to you.
O Ever Living who was there before anything else. O Ever Living who is ever existing when no life shall exist. Ever Living there is no god save You. Peace be upon Mohammed and his progeny.

It is recommended to say the following at the first bite of the food with which the fasting is broken:
In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
O the Liberal in forgiving: (please do) forgive me. Forgiveness of Almighty Allah is the reward of saying this supplication.
