Q & A

What is the significance of eating sahur according to the speaker?

Eating sahur (the pre-dawn meal) is a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and it brings blessings (Barakah). Even if there isn't much food, waking up for sahur and eating is important because it ensures that the fast is started with a good foundation and is a practice that brings Allah’s blessings.

Why should sahur be delayed until just before Fajr (dawn)?

Delaying sahur until just before dawn is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This practice helps people stay awake until Fajr and also aligns with the tradition of the Prophets, as it is considered a virtuous act.

What is the recommended practice for breaking the fast?

The speaker encourages breaking the fast immediately when the Maghrib (sunset) adhan (call to prayer) is heard, which is a practice of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is recommended to break the fast with dates or any available food, and to make du'a (supplication) before eating.
