Ramadan Day 16 (Duas, Tasks and Iftar Times)

Assalamu Alaikum.

Sixteen days in, and you're deep into the second half now. 

The fasts are getting longer, but so is your endurance. Your body is adjusting. Your soul is expanding.

You're not the same person you were on Day 1. Keep gping!

Here Is The Prayer Time and Fasting Time for Ramadan  Day 16

01) Read These In The Morning: After Fajr

What to Read: Continuing Through Juz 5

Continue reading Juz 5, focusing on Surah An-Nisa, particularly the verses about justice in dealing with orphans, women's rights, and social equity.

These verses are a reality check.

Islam isn't just about personal piety—it's about how you treat the vulnerable.

The orphans. The widows. The oppressed. The weak.

Allah is watching how you use your power, your wealth, and your influence.

When you read the verse, "Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze" (4:10), let it shake you.

Allah is saying that if you exploit the weak, you're literally eating fire.

Now ask yourself: how do I treat people who can't fight back? How do I treat those who have no power over me?

Your answer reveals your true character.

Tip: Remember that the physical hunger is just a tool for disciplining the soul, not just the stomach.

02) Your Specific Task: The "Circle Audit"

Take 15 minutes and write down the names of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Then, for each person, answer these questions:

1. Does this person bring me closer to Allah or pull me away?
2. Do they encourage me to be better or make me comfortable with mediocrity?
3. Do they remind me of the Hereafter or distract me with the Dunya?
4. Would I want to be standing next to them on Judgment Day?

Why?

Because, the Prophet ﷺ said,

"The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will either give you some perfume, or you will buy some from him, or at least you will enjoy a pleasant smell. As for the blacksmith, either he will burn your clothes, or you will smell a bad odor."

Your friends either perfume you or burn you.

There's no neutral.

If someone is consistently pulling you away from Allah—even if they're "fun" or "cool" or family—you need to create distance. Not out of arrogance, but out of self-preservation.

And if someone is lifting you up spiritually, hold onto them.

Cherish them. Invest in that friendship.

After you finish your audit, make dua for the righteous people in your life.

Ask Allah to increase your bond with them.

And for the toxic ones, ask Allah to either guide them or create healthy distance.

03) The "Golden Hour" (The 15 Minutes Before Iftar)

This is your daily meeting with the King of all Kings. Come prepared.

Your Day 16 Dua List:

• Ask Allah to surround you with righteous companions who remind you of Him and inspire you to be better.
• Pray for protection from toxic people, bad influences, and relationships that pull you away from His path.
• Ask Allah to make you someone whose presence brings people closer to Him—so you're not just looking for good friends, but you become one.
• Make dua for every person who has been a positive influence in your life—thank Allah for them and ask Him to reward them.

And make a deeply personal dua.

Something specific.

Something that's been weighing on your heart. Allah is listening.

A Little Brotherly/Sisterly Advice for Day 16

Remember, some of your "friends" are destroying your Akhirah.

Not intentionally. Not maliciously. But their lifestyle, their values, their conversations—they're slowly pulling you away from Allah.

And you don't even realize it because it's gradual.

You hang out with people who joke about haram things, and slowly, you stop seeing them as haram.

You spend time with people who never pray, and slowly, you start delaying your own prayers.

You surround yourself with people who chase Dunya, and slowly, you forget about Jannah.

The Quran warns you about this:

"And [mention] the Day when the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] and say, 'Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way. Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend. He led me away from the remembrance [of Allah] after it had come to me'" (Al-Furqan 25:27-29).

On Judgment Day, people will regret the friends they kept. The ones who made sin look normal. The ones who laughed at their devotion. The ones who distracted them from Allah.

Don't let that be you.

I'm not saying cut off everyone who sins—we all sin.

But there's a difference between someone who sins and repents, and someone who sins and celebrates.

There's a difference between someone who struggles but keeps trying, and someone who mocks you for trying.

Protect your circle. Protect your Iman.

And if you have to walk alone for a while to stay on the right path, that's better than walking with a crowd toward Jahannam.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A person will be with those whom he loves."

So ask yourself: who do you love? And where will that love take you?

You're more than halfway through Ramadan. The finish line is getting closer. Keep your head down and keep moving forward.
