Suhoor/Sehri/Pre Dawn Meal/Iftar

Lioness of Allah โ€”

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 ๐Ÿ˜›
But thats just me what about you guys??

Let Za discussion BEGIN!!!

I didn't really think when i made the username. I hope it doesn't sound arrogant... you've heard of the lion of Allah haven't you? Well, i thought of the female version of that...:s

Anywayz, inshallah first of Ramadhan tomorrow!!!

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.

Lioness of AllahWell, i did say that i didn't think when i made the username up. I don't want it to sound arrogant, rude or proud. Im just me. Besides, off topic.

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.

Couple paratas with dhaal and tea and loads of water....may have slightly overdone it lol

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!

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.
