Ramadan: A Month of Purification

This principle of self-discipline is applicable to the entire life of an individual. It entails giving others the chance to live their lives while living one’s own life. SEHRI: A BLESSED FOOD x The meal taken before dawn during the month of Ramadan is called Sehri. The Prophet asked his companions to eat Sehri saying “Eat sehri because it is a blessing” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 1923) The Prophet invited a companion to partake of Sehri saying “Come, eat of the blessed food.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 2344) Another companion relates that during the month of fasting, “Once I went to the Prophet before dawn and he was eating Sehri. The Prophet observed: ‘Sehri is a blessing that God has bestowed on you. So do not leave it out.’” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 23142)
