Facts About Sehri – The Blessed Pre-Dawn Meal
Sehri is not just a meal before fasting; it is a spiritually and physically significant practice that brings numerous blessings and health benefits. Here are some key facts about Sehri:
1. Sehri is a Sunnah
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) encouraged Muslims to eat Sehri, as it differentiates Islamic fasting from other forms of fasting. He said:
“Eat Sehri, for in Sehri there is blessing.” (Sahih Bukhari, 1923)
2. Sehri Increases Barakah (Blessings)
Eating Sehri brings divine blessings and sustenance for the day. It strengthens the body for fasting and helps maintain physical well-being.
3. It Helps Prevent Weakness and Fatigue
Sehri provides essential nutrients and hydration, reducing the chances of dizziness, fatigue, and dehydration throughout the fasting hours.
4. An Angelic Prayer for Those Who Eat Sehri
It is said that angels pray for those who wake up for Sehri, asking for their forgiveness and blessings from Allah.
5. Best Foods for Sehri
Eating the right foods helps sustain energy throughout the day. Ideal Sehri meals include:
- Whole grains (oats, brown bread) for long-lasting energy
- Protein sources (eggs, yogurt, lentils) for muscle strength
- Fruits and vegetables for hydration and digestion
- Dates for natural sugar and quick energy
6. Delaying Sehri is Recommended
The Prophet (ﷺ) advised delaying Sehri as much as possible before Fajr. However, it should be completed at least 5-10 minutes before the Adhan to avoid invalidating the fast.
7. Hydration is Key
Drinking enough water and healthy fluids during Sehri prevents dehydration and maintains focus and strength throughout the day.
8. Avoid Unhealthy Foods
Fried, processed, and overly salty foods should be avoided as they can cause thirst, bloating, and energy crashes during fasting.
9. Sehri Strengthens Willpower and Discipline
Waking up early for Sehri trains the body and mind in discipline, self-control, and patience—important virtues that Ramadan instills in every Muslim.
10. Sehri is a Time for Dua and Worship
The moments before Fajr are among the most blessed times for dua, dhikr, and repentance. Allah’s mercy is abundant in these early hours.
Final Thought
Sehri is not just about eating—it is a sacred meal filled with blessings that helps prepare Muslims physically and spiritually for fasting. Let’s make the most of it by choosing nutritious foods, making dua, and seeking Allah’s mercy.
