My Iftaar delights

As the month of blessings and mercy are about to get over...Let's all pray and hope that all our past sins shall be forgiven by the Oft-Forgiving and May our hearts get refueled by the spirit of Imaan...

The best part of fasting is not the Suhoor or the Iftaar but the part that lies inbetween them where we are constantly blessed by the Ar-Rahman..

Only during this Ramadan I did realize that sometimes the simpler things in life do bring immense pleasure and are more fulfilling than the adorned extravagant stuffs.

First realizing factor was the Suhoor time

I wished and planned to gobble down extreme amount of food as if it were a FEAST and not a FAST, but as fate may have it, I was suprised to see me being satisfied with simple meals such as yogurt rice..

Also I expected myself to be drained of water and super-exhausted during Ramadan, but to my surprise I felt quite hydrated and energetic the full day..

Following which is the Iftaar (highly expected time of the day)

Usually when the whole idea of Ramadan comes into mind,what strikes first is not the concept of fasting,or the bounties of rewards that one shall yield...It always is the sumptuous meals of Iftaar that I and mostly all not-so-religious Muslims think of first..But this year did I realize the pleasure of Iftaar is not in eating heavy meals but in having few dates,a cup of water,some fruits and most importantly enjoying each one of them to the utmost..As the famous wording goes 'Little is more'...

But even if its not about following the Sunnah (Prophetic teachings) , breaking the fast with dates is the best thing one can ever have..

Then in my home we usually make a drink called 'Rose Milk', but I personally call it as 'Pink Fantasy'..Its made of milk,sugar and rose essence which is a thick pinkish liquid..(Never really a fan of fruit juices during Iftaar)

Then comes my favourite part : FRUIT SALAD.....yummmmmm

The variety of colors,and exuberant tastes just makes my soul gets replenished...

Somedays we also have rice porridge having a lot of veggies or meat..Which is also quite filling during Iftaar

Now that's all about my Iftaar delights but do remember to eat little and right food to keep you healthy throughout your fast....
