· Sincerity of the intentions
· Saying Bismillaah when one is about to eat, eating with the
right hand and eating from that which is closer to you. Based upon the Hadeeth
Umar ibn Abee Salamah.
· Gathering together upon the food. Indeed in that there’s a
blessing.
· Not being wasteful in the meal and praising Allaah for it.
· The the meal is from lawful wealth. Indeed it is stronger
for the (carrying out) the act of worship. Indeed Allaah is good and He only
accepts that which is good.
· Having concern for the (proper) time (regarding the Suhoor)
· Seeking the forgiveness and making supplication in abundance
during the time of as-Sahar (last part of the night shortly before the break of
dawn). For indeed it is a blessed time (period).
· Give Sadaqah during that time and being diligent to be one
who aids the one who has the ability to fulfill the fasting by feeding him the
sahoor.
· Washing the mouth good along with the usage of the Siwaak.
This is in order that the traces of the food do not remain in the mouth which
will cause the one fasting doubt if it was to overwhelm him and enter down his
throat.
· Waiting after the eating of the Sahoor for the purpose of
performance of the dawn prayer. How praise worthy it is if the person was to go
to the Masjid and wait for the prayer. Indeed that is stronger for him upon
that (matter of praying the Fajr prayer on time). This is the case especially when
many from amongst the people stay awake during the nights of Ramadaan up until
the (time for) Sahoor. They eat the Sahoor then lay down. As a result of that,
sleep overcomes and they miss the prayer. It’s possible that the person doesn’t
get up until after the sun rise and some mid-day.
· Taking the food that is suitable for the condition of the
one fasting. Like eating the dates along drinking milk and that which is
similar to it.
· Getting the children accustomed to eating the Sahoor and
fasting.
· Giving precedence (to others over oneself).
