Muslims worldwide observe the fast of Ramadan, abstaining from food and beverages from dawn till dusk. This fast, known as Roza, commences after devotees consume sehri before sunrise and ends with iftar after sunset.

Iftar, marking the breaking of the fast, traditionally begins with the consumption of dates (Khajoor). The preference for dates has both religious and scientific significance.

In Islamic tradition, opening the fast with dates is considered Sunnah, aligning with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It’s believed that dates were the Prophet’s favourite dry fruit and he regularly broke his fast by consuming them.

Following his example is deemed a virtuous practice, hence Muslims prioritise dates for iftar before indulging in other foods.

Dr Rajkumar Prasad, a physician from Gaya, Bihar, explains the health benefits of breaking fast with dates. Prolonged fasting during Roza can lead to acidity, as abstaining from food prompts some individuals to consume high-calorie foods quickly, exacerbating digestive issues.

Dates offer a solution by boosting bile juice levels, maintaining stomach lining health and preventing acidity and indigestion. Additionally, dates’ high water content aids in hydration, essential after a day without water.

Moreover, dates are rich in nutrients vital for health. They are a source of proteins, providing instant strength and energy to the body.

Fibre, iron, sodium and potassium present in dates contribute to overall well-being.

Dates also aid in kick-starting the digestive system, releasing digestive secretions and juices and facilitating the digestion of more complex foods consumed during iftar.

The tradition of breaking the fast with dates during Ramadan is rooted in religious teachings and offers numerous health benefits.

By adhering to this practice, Muslims honour the Sunnah while promoting their physical well-being. From enhancing digestive health to providing essential nutrients, dates serve as a wholesome and beneficial choice for opening the fast during this holy month.
