The meal consumed before dawn or fajr prayer with the intention of fasting is called Suhur or Sehri (in Persian/Urdu languages).
In the blessed month of Ramadan, the significance of Suhur gets even more highlighted. Having Suhur not only gives physical (bodily) benefits but also unlimited spiritual blessings that our mind cannot comprehend.
Before we discuss the benefits, blessings and virtues, it is important to note that Suhur is not compulsory.
Although not fard or compulsory, Suhur's importance has been highlighted by Prophet Mohammad ﷺ Himself in many of His Hadiths:
Countless blessings
|
“Take Suhur as there is a blessing in it” [Sahi Bukhari 1923] |
|
"Taking the pre-dawn meal in Ramadan is a blessing,
so do not leave it, even by drinking a mouthful of water. For Allah, the
Noble and the Mighty, and His angels send blessing over those who have taken
the pre-dawn meal" [Ahmad] |
|
The Prophet ﷺ said: There is blessing in three: The jama'ah [the congregation of the
Muslims], the tharid [a broth of crumbled bread and meat] and the
suhur." [Recorded by At Tabarani & Abu Nu'aym] |
|
The Prophet ﷺ also
said: It is a blessing which Allah has given to you, so do not leave
it." [Ahmad & An Nisai] |
|
Prophet Mohammad ﷺ, on one occasion, said: “Come to the blessed morning
meal." [Ahmad, An-Nisai, Abu Dawud] |
Virtue & Significance of Suhur
|
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The
difference between our observance of Saum (fasting) and that of the people of
the Scriptures is Suhur (predawn meal in Ramadan)." [Riyad As Saliheen 1232] |
