Roza Ki Niyat: Importance and Significance

Fasting, or Roza, is one of the foundational pillars of Islam. Observing a fast during Ramadan or on other auspicious days brings immense spiritual rewards and strengthens one's bond with Allah. It helps you to connect yourself with the Divine love and His mercy. However, making the correct Roza ki Niyat, or intention for fasting, is a very critical part of this worship. If a person does not have the right intention, the fast may not carry its due value. The following blog discusses the importance, method, and rules regarding the making of Roza ki Niyat.

Importance of Roza Ki Niyat

In Islam, every act of worship must begin with a clear and sincere intention. Rozay ki Niyat emphasizes the commitment of the believer to fasting solely for the sake of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of niyat in all deeds, saying, "Actions are judged by intentions." Thus, proper roza rakhne ki niyat ensures that the fast is not just a physical abstaining from food and drink but also a spiritual act of devotion.

How to Make Roza Rakhne Ki Niyat

The roza rakhne ki niyat can be made either verbally or in the heart. While it is not mandatory to say it out loud, verbalizing it helps to concentrate the mind on the intention of fasting. Here is a simple example of the intention in Arabic:

"Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaytu min shahri Ramadan."

(I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.)

If Arabic is unfamiliar, then one can just make the niyat in his/her language, for example:

"Main Allah ke liye roza rakhne ki niyat karta hoon (or karti hoon)."

When to Make Roza Ki Niyat?

For obligatory fasts in Ramadan, the niyat should be made ideally before dawn time, which is known as Suhoor. In case one forgets making the intention, it may still be done at any time before midday and provided nothing that would render the fast invalid has been consumed or taken in.

Can be made only in Arabic: The niyat can be made in any language, as Allah values sincerity over formality.
