The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
The difference between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is the (meal of) Suhoor.” [Sahih Muslim]
@Hadithoftheday Narrated by Anas ibn Maalik R.A : The Prophet ﷺ said: “Eat suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Allah and his angels definitely send salutations on those who eat Suhoor.” (Ibn Hibban and At-Tabarani)
@Hadithoftheday Suhoor is a pre-dawn meal consumed by Muslims before starting the day’s fast.
The Suhoor is a vital part of fasting. Muslims eat a healthy meal in Suhoor in order to remain in good health for the rest of the day during the fast.
@Hadithoftheday Delaying Suhoor is a part of the Sunnah as the Prophet ﷺ said: “Hasten to (eating) Iftar (in Ramadan immediately when the time is due), and delay (eating) Suhoor.” [At-Tabaraani]
@Hadithoftheday The fasting person is commanded to eat suhoor because there is a great deal of goodness and blessing, both spiritual and worldly, in it. The Prophet ﷺmentioned Suhoor as blessing so as to encourage us to eat suhoor.
@Hadithoftheday Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever wants to fast, let him eat something for suhoor.” (Ahmad)
@Hadithoftheday There is a great deal of blessing in suhoor which includes benefits both in this world and in the Hereafter.
It prevents fatigue and headaches during the daytime.
It reduces extreme hunger & thirst.
It prevents the fasting person from feeling lazy, sluggish or in need of sleep +
@Hadithoftheday Suhoor prevents the loss of body cells.
Suhoor energizes and stimulates the digestive system.
Suhoor helps the body maintain its sugar levels while fasting.
Suhoor spiritually assists the believer to fulfill fasting as an act of worship.
@Hadithoftheday One shouldn't forget to grab a date and eat it when in Suhoor; it will grab one a reward of Sunnah.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “How excellent are dates as the believer’s suhoor” [Abu Dawood - 2345]

@Hadithoftheday Odd number of dates.
It is Mustahab to break the fast with odd number of dates.
It is not obligatory and in fact it is not Sunnah to break the fast with an odd number, three or five or seven or nine, except on the Day of Eid al-Fitr.
@Hadithoftheday Narrated Anas bin Malik R.A : Allah's Messenger ﷺ never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of Eid-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas R.A also narrated: The Prophet ﷺ used to eat odd number of dates - (Sahih Bukhari)
@Hadithoftheday Some scholars have regarded it as mustahabb to make everything odd-numbered.
All words and deeds should be made odd-numbered. This is the Sunnah. (Shaykh Saalih-al-fawzan)
@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)
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]
