Eid Mubarak Mahmood Kara The Alim Network Question: What is the source of Dua-e-Eftetah? Answer: Bismihi Ta'ala Salaamun alaykum, The origin of Dua-e Iftitah can be traced through a reliable chain of transmission by way of which we know that this du'a, which is recited in the month of Ramadan, was handed down to us from Imam al-Mahdi (may God expedite his return). There is also internal evidence within the du'a that gives us a clue the Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) is the one who composed it. Idd mubarak to all of you. It is time to bid farewell to the blessed month of Ramadan. wa bi-l-laahi-t-tawfiq, Hamid Mavani
