Dua for Iftar
Reciting dua for Iftar or Roza kholne ki dua is not required during breakfast, but we do so to follow Sunnah. Allah will undoubtedly reward them more if one does dua for Iftar before breaking fast. “Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu [wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu] wa ‘ala rizq-ika aftarth,” meaning “Oh Allah, I fasting for You and I trust in You, and I broke my fasting with your sustenance.”
There is no guilt if someone does not read the iftar or Roza kholne ki dua.
In Ramadan, Iftar is the evening meal for fasting. So, before having dinner, the Muslim should recite Dua for Iftar or Roza kholne ki dua, which is optional but can result in more benefits from Allah.
Saying Iftar dua for evening prayer or Roza kholne ki dua is Mustahib since it is Sunnah as recounted by Abu Dawood from Mu’aadh ibn Zuhrah listening to the Prophet (S.A.W) used it to recite after he broke his fast, “Allaahumma laka sumtu was ‘ala rizqika aftartu.”
So it is clear that reciting Iftar dua or Roza kholne ki dua is Sunnah rather than a requirement, and God would bless those who recite it before breaking the fast on Iftar.
