Q & A

Why do many young people find it difficult to wake up for sahur during Ramadan?

Many young people find it difficult to wake up for sahur because it occurs early in the morning, just before dawn, and often, they feel lazy or tired and prefer to sleep instead of eating. Additionally, the habit of having a late breakfast or skipping meals may make it harder to establish a routine of sahur.

What does 'barakah' mean in the context of sahur?

How does sahur distinguish the Muslim fast from the fast of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians)?

What is the recommended time to wake up for sahur, and why?

It is recommended to wake up at least 30 minutes before the adhan (dawn call to prayer) for sahur, but waking up an hour or more earlier is even better. This allows time for worship, including praying, asking for forgiveness, and making supplications before starting the fast.
