What does Suhoor mean?

  

During Ramadan, Muslims eat Suhoor before dawn, right before they start their fast (Sawm). Before Fajr (dawn) prayer, it is eaten. This starts the daily fast, which lasts until Maghrib (sunset).

 In Islam, Suhoor is very important. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Eat Suhoor, for in Suhoor there is blessing (Barakah)." (Muslim and Sahih Bukhari)

 A healthy Suhoor meal gives you energy and water to get you through the long hours of fasting. It usually has protein-rich foods, whole carbs, dates, fruits, dairy, and water to keep the body going all day.

 In addition to being good for your health, Suhoor is a time for worship and thought for many Muslims. They pray, read the Quran, and ask for forgiveness before Fajr. Suhoor is a highly important meal during Ramadan because it is a meal that should be eaten with the goal of fasting.
