| Key Takeaways |
| “Allahumma taqabbal siyamana” is a supplication asking Allah to accept one’s fasting, prayers, and good deeds performed during Ramadan. |
| The full dua includes acceptance of fasting, night prayers (Qiyam), Quran recitation, and all acts of worship performed in the month. |
| This dua is rooted in the Islamic principle of Taqabbal, meaning acceptance — a concept central to worship in Islamic theology. |
The Allahumma taqabbal siyamana dua is a heartfelt supplication asking Allah to accept one’s fasting and all acts of worship performed during Ramadan.
At its most complete, it reads: Allahumma taqabbal siyamana wa qiyamana wa qira’atana wa du’a’ana — meaning “O Allah, accept our fasting, our night prayers, our Quran recitation, and our supplications.” This dua encapsulates the essential spirit of the believer’s yearning for divine acceptance.
What Is the Full Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Dua in Arabic?
The Allahumma taqabbal siyamana full dua in Arabic combines multiple requests for acceptance into a single supplication. The most widely transmitted version is:
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ صِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا وَقِرَاءَتَنَا وَدُعَاءَنَا
Allahumma taqabbal siyamana wa qiyamana wa qira’atana wa du’a’ana
“O Allah, accept our fasting, our night prayers, our Quran recitation, and our supplications.”
Some narrated versions expand this further to include rukoo’ana wa sujoodana (our bowing and our prostrations) and khushoo’ana wa takhashhu’ana (our humility and our reverence).
These additions reflect the comprehensive nature of Ramadan worship and have been narrated through various scholarly chains, though they are primarily transmitted as a du’a of the pious predecessors (Salaf) rather than a specific Prophetic hadith.
Understanding this distinction matters for the Muslim who wants to engage in worship with knowledge.
What Is the Full Meaning of Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Word by Word?
The Allahumma taqabbal siyamana full dua with meaning becomes deeply alive when examined term by term. Each word carries theological weight that transforms this from a recited phrase into a sincere act of worship.
| Arabic Word | Transliteration | Meaning |
| اللَّهُمَّ | Allahumma | O Allah (the vocative form of Allah’s name, signaling direct address) |
| تَقَبَّلْ | Taqabbal | Accept (from the root qaf-ba-lam, meaning to receive with approval and satisfaction) |
| صِيَامَنَا | Siyamana | Our fasting (from sawm, meaning to abstain) |
| وَقِيَامَنَا | Wa qiyamana | And our night prayers (Qiyam al-Layl / Tarawih) |
| وَقِرَاءَتَنَا | Wa qira’atana | And our Quran recitation |
| وَدُعَاءَنَا | Wa du’a’ana | And our supplications |
The word Taqabbal deserves special attention. It is not simply “receive” (akhadha) — it is to receive with divine approval and pleasure.
This is why the dua is so moving: the believer is not asking Allah merely to register their worship. They are asking Him to look upon it with satisfaction and reward it from His mercy.
At Shaykhi Academy, our Online Islamic Studies Course for Beginners covers exactly these kinds of theological distinctions — helping students understand not just what to say, but what their words mean and why they matter in the sight of Allah.

What Is the Quranic Foundation Behind Asking Allah for Acceptance?
The concept of asking Allah for acceptance of deeds is firmly grounded in the Quran itself. Ibrahim (AS) and his son Ismail (AS) made this exact type of supplication while raising the foundations of the Kaaba — the most sacred building on earth.
Allah recorded their words in the Quran:
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka anta al-Sami’u al-‘Aleem
“Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing.” (Al-Baqarah 2:127)
This verse establishes a profound principle: even the Prophets and the righteous did not assume their worship was automatically accepted. They asked, with humility, for Allah’s acceptance. The Allahumma taqabbal siyamana dua follows this exact prophetic model — coupling great acts of worship with sincere supplication for their acceptance.
This verse is also one of the most beautiful proofs that Taqabbal — acceptance — is a special divine act, distinct from merely witnessing a deed.

When Should You Recite the Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Dua?
This supplication can be recited throughout Ramadan, but certain times carry greater spiritual weight and are recommended by scholars for its recitation.
Is It Recommended to Recite This Dua at Iftar?
Iftar is among the most virtuous moments of the fasting day, and reciting this dua at the moment of breaking the fast is widely practiced. The Prophet ﷺ highlighted the special status of the fasting person’s supplication. As recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah:
“When the fasting person breaks his fast, his supplication is not turned back.”
Reciting Allahumma taqabbal siyamana at iftar combines the blessed moment of breaking the fast with a sincere plea for that fast to be divinely accepted.
Should This Dua Be Recited in the Last Ten Nights of Ramadan?
The last ten nights of Ramadan — particularly Laylat al-Qadr — are the most spiritually intensive period of the year. Scholars strongly recommend increasing all supplications during these nights, and the Allahumma taqabbal siyamana dua is especially fitting.
Laylat al-Qadr is when Allah’s acceptance of the entire month’s worship is being written. Asking for Taqabbal precisely then is deeply meaningful.
Is This Dua Recited After Ramadan Ends?
Many scholars and pious predecessors would continue reciting this dua after Ramadan — even for six months following it.
Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali narrated that the Salaf would make du’a for six months before Ramadan asking Allah to let them reach it, then make du’a for six months after Ramadan asking Allah to accept it from them.
This tradition reflects a deep concern not just for performing worship, but for having it accepted.
What Is the Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Full Dua with Extended Wording?
The extended version of the Allahumma taqabbal siyamana full dua incorporates additional acts of worship, reflecting the comprehensiveness of Ramadan’s spiritual program. One of the more complete versions narrated through scholarly tradition is:
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ صِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا وَقِرَاءَتَنَا وَدُعَاءَنَا وَرُكُوعَنَا وَسُجُودَنَا وَخُشُوعَنَا
Allahumma taqabbal siyamana wa qiyamana wa qira’atana wa du’a’ana wa rukoo’ana wa sujoodana wa khushoo’ana
“O Allah, accept our fasting, our night prayers, our Quran recitation, our supplications, our bowing, our prostrations, our humility, and our reverence.”
| Component | Arabic | What It Covers |
| Siyamana | صِيَامَنَا | All days of fasting in Ramadan |
| Qiyamana | قِيَامَنَا | Tarawih and night prayers |
| Qira’atana | قِرَاءَتَنَا | Quran recitation throughout the month |
| Du’a’ana | دُعَاءَنَا | All personal supplications made |
| Rukoo’ana | رُكُوعَنَا | The bowing position in Salah |
| Sujoodana | سُجُودَنَا | The prostration in Salah |
| Khushoo’ana | خُشُوعَنَا | Inner humility and focus in worship |
This expanded form covers every dimension of Ramadan worship — from the physical act of fasting to the interior state of the heart during prayer.

How Can Non-Arabic Speakers Memorize and Understand This Dua?
Many non-Arabic speaking Muslims genuinely want to connect with this supplication beyond phonetic repetition. The key is combining memorization with understanding — learning the transliteration alongside the meaning of each word.
A practical approach used at Shaykhi Academy:
- Break the dua into pairs: Allahumma taqabbal / siyamana wa qiyamana / wa qira’atana wa du’a’ana
- Attach meaning to each pair before moving forward
- Recite it slowly with reflection on each component — the fasting, the prayers, the Quran
- Review it daily from the first of Ramadan, not just on significant nights
Students in our foundational Quran courses often find that learning the Arabic letters and their sounds significantly improves their ability to recite duas with correct pronunciation. Even basic Arabic awareness allows the Quran and du’a recitation to feel less mechanical and more alive.

Conclusion
The Allahumma taqabbal siyamana dua is more than a phrase recited at iftar or on Laylat al-Qadr. It is a theological statement — a believer standing before Allah and acknowledging that all their fasting, prayers, recitation, and supplications are worth nothing unless Allah receives them with His approval and mercy. That humility is itself a form of worship.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Dua
Is the Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Dua Directly from the Prophet ﷺ?
This supplication is widely transmitted through the scholarly tradition and the practice of the pious predecessors (Salaf) rather than as a specific Prophetic hadith with a fully verified chain. The concept of asking Allah for acceptance of worship is Quranic, as seen in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:127. Scholars consider it a highly recommended dua rooted in authentic Islamic principles of worship.
When Is the Best Time to Recite the Allahumma Taqabbal Siyamana Dua?
The strongest times to recite this dua are at iftar (when the fasting person’s supplication is especially favored), during the last ten nights of Ramadan — particularly on Laylat al-Qadr — and during and after Sujood in Salah. Scholars also recommend continuing this supplication for weeks after Ramadan ends, following the practice of the Salaf.
What Does Qiyamana Mean in the Dua?
Qiyamana refers to Qiyam al-Layl — the voluntary night prayers, which in Ramadan includes Tarawih and any additional night prayer such as Tahajjud. It is asking Allah to accept the standing in prayer before Him throughout the nights of Ramadan — one of the most virtuous acts of worship in this blessed month.
