Some wrong eating habits in Ramzaan
1. We eat fruits along with food stuff while breaking the fast; In respected Quran, fruits are mentioned first, that means fruits should be eaten first.
2. We eat fry items, boil items, snacks, cooked food, milk products etc all together or combination of some above said food items, this is against the eating habits of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم means Nabi صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم never ate many items of food at same time. He صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ate the simplest food.

Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنه that Nabi صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade two kinds of food; to sit at cloth on which wine is drunk; and to eat by a man while lying on his stomach. : Reference Abu Dawud: 3774; Book no. 28; In English Book no. 27; Hadees no. 3765.

Proper eating habits in Ramzaan in light of sunnats (teachings of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) & modern science.
 

This part of the lesson is very important, let’s perform & spread these teaching so that this Ramzaan becomes the best Ramzaan of our life Aameen.
1. Fruits are mentioned before meat in Quranic verses (chapter Al-Waqia 56: 20, 21. & chapter At-toor 52: 22 in both verses, fruits are mentioned first.
We should eat some fruits of one or two variety only (not much) maximum 3 varieties & 3 to 5 dates & drink a glass of sharbat of jaw sattu, or mix jaw (barley) sattu (2 teaspoon) in milk sharbat or in milk shake or in any other drinks, but do not drink pain water. Do not drink plan water because according to Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم‘s guidance & teachings we should not drink water after eating fruits.
2. Try to break the fast in masjid so that you can give answer of aazan, pray Dua, offer magrib jamat & salah properly, you will not have to run or rush for the jamat which is against the teaching of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. (But remember the eatables should be fruits & Jaw sattu sharbat only).
This will help us to offer magrib salah peacefully than after magrib do other ibaadats or whatever work you have.
Please note do not eat any eatables till 45 minutes to 1 hour, let the fruits get digested.

Fruits are light to digest & give us instant energy, provide us vital vitamins & minerals which are important for our body, please let the body get the vital nutrition from the fruits.

Than after 45 minutes to 1 hour of breaking the fast with fruits, the fruits will get digested than eat your meal, but the meal should be light like sareed.

I have given below about sareed, talbinah & jaw (barley) sattu.

Dear members please try the new method this Ramzaan & feel the difference, Insha Allah this
Ramzaan will be our best Ramzaan of our life.

After esha & tarahbih salah, drink 1 glass of water every 45 minutes (total 4 glasses of plain water) Remember this time we are in warm climate & Water is essential for the body function.

Try not to eat anything after esha salah because you can eat well in sahri. If you eat after esha salah also, the sahri is very soon the duration between esha & sahri is not much.
The food will not get digested till sahri & this may cause gas, indigestion & many other problems.

And if you do not eat after esha salah than you can eat well in sahri & you will get strength for the whole fasting day.

If you have a strong desire to eat after Esha salah, than eat a light soft diet like custard, pudding or any light homemade thing in little quantity.

Remember Ramzaan is not an eating month. We eat the whole 11 months. If you eat a heavy meal after esha, that will not digest till sahri & you will not able to eat in sahri properly.

In sahri do not eat biscuits, Bakery products, bread etc because they cause gas & get fermented soon in stomach. Eat sareed which I had mentioned in my Lesson no. 28. Jaw (barley) in my Book, or eat talbinah, Talbinah is Sunnah of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, this will be best, because it will give you the all nutrition required by the body & you will not feel thirsty. I have given detail about sareed, talbinah & jaw (barley) sattu further.

Do not try to over eat because the amount we eat is not important, but how much we can digest that is important. If the food remains in the stomach for a longer period it gets fermented in the stomach and will cause various problems like indigestion, gas, vomiting, motion, pain in stomach, sour blanching, acidity & etc, and we will get irritated the whole day.

Ramzaan is to kill the nafs, & by eating according to our nafs, do not fulfill the aim of Ramzaan. Please do not feel negative, be positive & expect the truth. Pull yourself together and decide to eat iftaar & sahri according to the teaching of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم.

Cook thin salan (gravy) soup like, with little spices, little fats (not much). Dip pieces of chapatti in it & eat, by this the food will get in equal condition, it will be light to digest & will keep us free from acidity & other problems; It will keep you free from excessive thirst.

Do not drink milk with meals. Special non vegetarian diet, do not eat meat & egg together, do not eat meat & milk together, and do not eat many varieties in sahri.

Muslim Brothers please try to break the fast In masjid because you will be free from following
 

Rushing & run for magrib salah, Missing magrib salah, not doing Dua, not giving answer of aazan, eating in haste, waiting for woozoo, Not getting place for magrib salah, joking while iftaar, I and you will be free from much more.

Jaw is very good for health and prevents thirst, Please drink any sharbat or juice containing jaw sattu as you get up for sehri & than pray Tahaj’jud salah & do other ibaadats. Than eat sahri. (Sareed it best for sahri), Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم liked sareed very much amongst all dishes, Lets alive his Sunnah this Ramzaan. (Eat sareed twice a week at least).
