The Virtue of the Pre-Dawn Meal and Neglecting It

The questioner:
And they cite evidence, O Shaykh, that one should have the pre-dawn meal, even if it is just a mouthful, and what a good pre-dawn meal dates are. They say the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said such and such?

The Shaykh:
All of it is from the pre-dawn meal according to one’s ability. The intended meaning is known: the secret of the pre-dawn meal is that it strengthens one for the obedience of Allah. This is the secret of the pre-dawn meal. It distinguishes our fasting from the fasting of the people of the pre-dawn meal, meaning the Jews and the Christians. The pre-dawn meal, meaning the pre-dawn meal and neglecting it, indicates, meaning, weakness in following. If one of you were to take a sip of water. Is there any success in this narration? But according to what is easy. The important thing is that the pre-dawn meal is customary and does not follow causes or details that are not a Sunnah. Yes. May Allah will it, men. According to his ability: the one who does not have dates has dates, the one who has bread has a piece of bread, the one who has milk has milk, and the one who has nothing has water, according to his ability.
