Suhoor/Sehri/Pre Dawn Meal/Iftar

Published by Lioness of Allah on 25 July, 2011 - 22:36

Assalamualykum,

So with Ramadan creeping closer day by day, i was just curious, wondering about what people eat at sehri.

I read something once about the Prophet's pre dawn meal, saying it's sunnah to eat at least a date and drink some water , but i'm not sure where its from. Please correct me if i'm wrong though.

Anyhoo, what do you guys normally eat for Suhoor?

I normally have a bowl of cereal, Coco Pops or Cheerios,:D but iknow people who eat Chappatis (Roti) with curry. (Personally i could probably not be able to stomach that, that early)

*EDIT*: We may as well talk about iftari too now... I normally break my fast with dates and water, a lil' bit of fruit and then... Stuff down all the fried stuff....and maybe eat roti too Blum 3
But thats just me what about you guys??

Let Za discussion BEGIN!!!

Following this battle Mohammad gave Ali the name Asadullah, which in Arabic means "Lion of Allah" or "Lion of God".

So why do people call themselves that? Cringe.

Don't know why you're defending yourself for no reason.

Back to topic: dates are delicious. Ate about ten today; hope no one notices.

What time did you wake up? Most likely your food will be digested by the time you wake up no matter what you eat.

I did feel hungry, but so far it has been much better than last year. Last year I was actually in pain cuz of the hunger! Then again, there's quite a few hours left!

Upon breaking the fast in someone’s home
أفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ، وَ أَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأبْرَارُ، وَ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُم ُ الْمَلائِكَةُ
Aftara ‘indakumus saa’imuna, wa akala ta’aamakumul-abraaru, wasallat ‘alaikumul mala’ikat

May those who are fasting break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food and may the angels send prayers upon you.
