Eating a date when breaking the fast

Eating a date when breaking the fast

Extended hours of not eating and drinking can deplete the body of glucose, which is the body’s primary source of energy. Breaking the fast with a date provides a quick and easy way to replenish the body’s glucose reserves. Narrated Anas bin Malik, “The Prophet (pbuh) used to break his fast before offering evening prayer with some fresh dates.” In case dates are not available, it is strongly advised to drink water, which helps to combat the dehydration caused by a fast.
