Sehri Ki Dua - What Is The Dua Of Suhur, Its Importance, And Benefits
Suhur plays an important role in fasting during Ramadan, and it is a kind of proof that Muslims are conducting their fasts with ease. Though it's not an obligatory act to commit to begin your fast, most religious scholars have pointed to it under a preferable view as a blessing from Allah. The Holy Prophet once said to Muslims that "there are blessings in the Suhur". The following statement is recorded in Al-Jami' as-Saghir;
"Indeed Allah placed blessing in the Suhur and the weighing of grain."
On occasion, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said;
"Take Suhur as there is a blessing in it."
A sahabi reported that once he was doing Suhur and the Holy Prophet entered to which he (PBUH) said;
"It is a blessing which Allah has given to you, so do not leave it."
From the above verses, we can figure out how important the Suhur is. Yet there's a specific prayer for Suhur which we should recite as it's the sunnah of our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
