Ramadan : Pourquoi le kheud est-il si précieux ? Les explications d'Oustaz Mass Dièye
The pre-dawn meal (kheud) – also called suhoor in Arabic – plays a significant role in the fasting person's diet. Between its spiritual dimension and physical preparation, this meal raises many questions among the faithful, particularly regarding its obligatory nature and how to observe it.
When questioned on the matter, Oustaz Mass Dièye points out that the kheud is not a religious obligation, but a prophetic recommendation. "The kheud is not a Farata (obligatory), it is a Sunnah recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who indicated that there is Baraka in this meal," he explains.
According to the preacher, this moment also marks a specific aspect of Muslim practice and constitutes a source of energy to face the day of fasting. He emphasizes that getting up for kheud, even just to drink water, remains spiritually beneficial, mentioning the angels' prayers for those who perform this act.
However, he clarifies, the absence of kheud does not invalidate the fast. "Both those who sleep and those who get up observe their fast. The difference lies in the Baraka and the energy that kheud provides," he affirms.
Regarding the timing, Oustaz Mass Dièye indicates that there is no fixed time, although the latter part of the night, close to the Fajr prayer, remains the most recommended time. He also encourages parents to introduce children to this practice in order to gradually accustom them to the spiritual rhythm of Ramadan and the Fajr prayer from a young age.
Both an act of devotion and physical preparation, the kheud thus appears as a highly recommended ritual, full of meaning and blessings, without conditioning the validity of the fast.
