Suhoor (Arabic: سحور lit. of the dawn‎), also called Sehur, Sehri, Sahari and Sahur in other languages, is an Islamic term referring to the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before fasting, sawm, in daylight hours during the Islamic month of Ramadan. The meal is eaten before fajr, or dawn. Suhoor as the morning meal is matched by Iftar as the evening meal, during Ramadan, replacing the traditional three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), although in some places dinner is also consumed after Iftar later during the night. Being the only meal eaten by Muslims from dawn to sunset during the month of Ramadan, Suhoor typically tends to be heavy and is highly regarded by Islamic traditions to benefit of the blessings and avoid crankiness or weakness caused by the fast. Suhoor ends, and the fast starts when it is time for fajr prayer.many different types of tricks are used to avoid hunger or thirst during the day. many people choose to eat a spoon full of yogurt to reduce thirst. sehri has a very magical feel to it and is a very important part of Islamic culture.
