What Is The Best Food To Open You Fast With?

[Mahdiyah 43]

Ramadan Karim Fellow Members :)

I thought this would be a wholesome topic for us to share...

Dates with plain yogurt is my favourite food to open my fast with... followed by a soup or light meal.

Iltimaase Dua.

I have started having a glass of milk first after seeing a programme on BBC where they looked into what the best thing to drink is if youre dehydrated. Apparently its semi-skimmed milk. So i have that and date and greek yoghurt and then a little later a meal.

My secret ingredient is a little known herb, know as allium sativum, it is actually a species from the onion genus, 'allium'. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive and rakkyo. - anyway, stick a load of that in.

You may need to go to a specialist shop to get it.

(I'm talking about the red daal you eat with rice btw)

Most of the people open their fast with dates.

I make sweet drinks. I don't like dates that much. I also enjoyed soups but I don't feel like having them in the month of Ramadhan.

[lalala123 770]

Fruit chaat :wub:

[Yahya al-Mujtaba 2]

Assalaamu alaykum,

The Holy Prophet (saww) used to break his fast with dates, and Imam Ali (as) used to break his fast with salt. Personally, I like breaking the fast with the dates as well. The sweetness of the dates and that comforting feeling of following the sunnah of the Prophet (saww) make the perfect beginning to iftar. :D

Wassalam

[Nuriyah Khanam 30]

My grandmother used to make date biscuits and other confectionary from dates before Ramadham started and throughout the holy month we enjoyed them after iftar with tea, for suhuwr etc. i dont know why but dates have some importance in Ramadan.

[AllahAkbar 90]

My grandmother used to make date biscuits

Must suck to bite into a biscuit and get hit with a date seed! :P

[BintAlZahraa 22]

dates, yogurt and water. Nothing beats that. 

[Waiting for HIM 2,758]

(Old thread but still relevant)

 

A pinch of salt. Then a slightly warm cup of water. Then a date or two maybe.

I remember on a program i watched on bbc (that was medically orientated), that milk hydrates you the quickest. I used to have greek yoghurt and dates with water, but now i have milk and dates.

[haideriam 830]

salt, dates and tried the ^^^1/3 milk with 2/3 warm water with honey. Will try it for a few more days.

Thereafter food with tea.

[Wind Chimes 156]

Dates and water. Lots and lots of water. :)

[ghazi 57]

Open the fast with a date and then whatever is there dont matter to me. Alhamdulilah

[AnaAmmar1 4,118]

1 or 2 dates,a lot of water,sakanjabeen or rooh afza in milk or tang,pakoray or samosay,fruit chart :D :D

[princess art 0]

Dates, always .. sometime with laban and sometime with water..

[Basim Ali 1,105]

I've seen people in Pakistan break their fasts with salt every time. O.o Does anyone have a reference from ahadith about this practice?

 

I break mine with dates. Today I asked my sister, who was making pakoras, to try frying one date dipped in the yellow batter they use for making pakoras... it didn't taste any different lol.

That is based off the general prescription in aHadith to start off ANY meal with salt and end it with the same. There is no Hadith that will tell you it's desirable to break fast with salt. However, you have to understand that when the Hadith says the Prophet (saww) or Amir al-Mu'mineen (as) used to break their fast with some sweet/date/milk/water, it is not that they would _begin_ with that; it was ALL they used to have for ifTar unlike the lavish spread of food we consume. So no mention of salt does not mean that it was not what they would begin with. If you look at the account of the night of Darbah of the Imam, there is mention of salt at ifTar.

Nothing "Pakistani" about it.
