❣️ ❝ Part of Loving Allah and glorifying Him is reading His words, studying them, understanding them, gathering the mind to contemplate them, knowing what it requires (of him), and being habitual on it. And with the degree of love, rests the level of pleasure from the words of the Beloved. Whenever a heart is attached to the words of Allah, that is an evidence of the sincerity of love, for whoever loves someone, he frequents in mentioning him and thoroughly understands the intended meanings of his words and speech. And decrease of this, diminishes the love. ❞

🕝 What Is The Ruling On Skipping The Suḥūr¹ ?

Answer: ❝ Abandoning suḥūr is an imitation of the Ahl Al-kitāb (Jews and Christians). Some people are careless on the issue of suḥūr, claiming that they do not have a desire for it. But what is better for a Muslim is to not abandon the suḥūr, even if it is with a sip of milk, and thereby being at odds with Ahl Al-Kitāb and also following the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

It was reported in the narration, on the authority of ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀs, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

«فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ»
“The difference between our fasting and that of the people of the Book is eating at saḥar (shortly before the dawn)”. This was narrated by Imām Muslim.

This indicates that suḥūr is an opposition to Ahl Al-Kitāb and that being at odds with them, is an intended aim by the Law-Giver.❞
