Allah says: “Eat and drink from the provision of Allah, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.” (al-Baqarah: 60)
It is preferred to eat three meals during this blessed month. Eating iftar, a light midnight snack and suhoor will prevent you from eating constantly during the long night hours between iftar and suhoor. Eating nutritiously balanced meals during the holy month of Ramadan is very important. Iftar alone does not guarantee your body will get all the nutrients it needs.
Especially if you feel full quickly and can not complete your iftar meal. You can delay the main course of iftar until after Maghrib. So you can have plenty of time to digest the dates, soup, and salads and thus reduce the possibility of having an upset stomach that results from eating a large amount of food in a short time after a long day of fasting.
Allah has commanded us in the Qur’an to eat and drink and not to be extravagant. Therefore, let us thank Allah Almighty for his blessings in our prayers rather than spend the last ten nights of Ramadan eating from the time of iftar until the time of Suhoor.
