@Hadithoftheday The beginning time for the Fajr prayer. (When there is white thread of daylight)
Allah says in Qur'an:
“And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your fast till the nightfall.” (2:187)
@Hadithoftheday The Prophet ﷺ instructed the Companions ,
The athān of Bilāl should not prevent you from eating Sahūr because he gives athān at night, therefore keep eating and drinking until you hear the athān of ʿAbdullāh b. Umm Makktum. He gives athān when the fajr comes out.” (Bukhari)
@Hadithoftheday Allah has permitted the fasting person to eat and drink until dawn comes. He, Most High, says: {… and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn …} (Al-Baqarah 2:187)
@Hadithoftheday It is preferable that the fasting person stops eating and drinking a few minutes before dawn.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Eat suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing.” (Bukhaari, Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday There are two times for stopping eating during sahur , namely a preferred time and a permitted time. Preferred time to stop eating is ten minutes before Fajr time.
Permitted time for eating sahur, however, extends up to exact fajr time after which time it is considered unlawful
@Hadithoftheday If the Adhan is called on time, that is the final cut off point for sahur.
But if, on the contrary, the Adhan is called after the time of Fajr has started, then the real time to consider is not the time of Adhan; rather one must consider the time as posted in the time-table.
@Hadithoftheday Narrated Zayd ibn Thaabit R.A said: “We ate suhoor with the Prophet ﷺ, then he went to pray.” I asked, “How long was there between the adhaan and suhoor?” He said, “As long as it takes to recite fifty verses.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday It is mustahabb to delay suhoor until just before Fajr.
Suhoor is so called because it happens at the time of sahr, which is the end of the night.

Allah says in Qur'an:
"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous" - (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183)
@Hadithoftheday Allah in Surah Baqarah of Glorious Qur'an makes it clear that fasting was ordained compulsory on all Muslims and that Muslims have to fast if they are to stay righteous.
Allah says in Qur'an:
"Allah is with those who restrain themselves." -(Quran 16:128)
@Hadithoftheday Fasting was prescribed to previous nations too (before nation of Prophet ﷺ) as Allah says in Surah Baqarah:
"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous "
(Qur'an. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 183)
@Hadithoftheday Taqwa (Piety).
Allah says in Qur'an:
“O You who believe! Fasting is prescribed upon you as it was prescribed on those before you so that you may attain Taqwa” Qur'an – [2:183]
@Hadithoftheday Taqwa is consciousness of Allah.
Fasting is one of the best ways to attain Taqwa.
Taqwa, is a means of getting closer to Allah spiritually.
It strengthens a Muslim’s belief and enables him to become a better human being
@Hadithoftheday The purpose of fasting is not to make us hungry and thirsty, or to deprive us some of our comfort and conveniences. The real purpose of fasting is that we learn taqwa.
Taqwa is highly emphasized in the Qur’an and Sunnah. There are numerous verses in the Qur’an on taqwa
@Hadithoftheday Before Eid Salah.
Zakat Al-Fitr is due before Eid prayer.
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ﷺ ordered it (Zakat-Al-Fitr) to be given before people go out for the Eid prayer. ( Bukhari 1503, Muslim 986)
@Hadithoftheday Zakat ul-Fitr, is an obligatory charitable donation all Muslims are required to make during Ramadan.
Zakat ul-Fitr is also called as Fitrana.
The Zakat ul-Fitr amount is calculated on the basis of the current price of a staple food, equivalent to a specific weight.
@Hadithoftheday Zakat al-fitr must be given on behalf of all Muslims, young and old, male and female, free and slave.
With regard to a foetus, it is not obligatory to give it on his behalf according to scholarly consensus, but it is mustahabb, because Uthman R.A did that.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete his fast, for what he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by Allah." - (Sahih al-Bukhari 1933)
@Hadithoftheday Fast is still considered valid as long as you stop as soon as you realise. Our deen is so beautiful and easy.
@Hadithoftheday When a person unintentionally eats or drinks, the fast is still valid.
Allah says in Qur'an:
And there is no sin on you if you make a mistake therein, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful [33:5]
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri R.A reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever fasts a day in the way of Allah, Allah will move his face away from the Hellfire by a distance of seventy years.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī،, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday The Fasting Person is far from Hell.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah R.A, Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ said:
"Whoever fasts one day for the acceptance of Allah, Allah keeps his/her face seventy years away from Hell in return for this one day." (Nasai)
@Hadithoftheday Ramadan is the Salvation from Hell.
Narrated of Abu Darda R.A, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
"Whoever fasts one day for the acceptance of Allah, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah creates a gap between him and Hell, as wide as the heavens and the earth."
(Tirmidhi)
