Avoiding Overeating at Iftar

Overeating at iftar can cause discomfort, bloating, and fatigue. Break your fast slowly with water and a few dates, then wait a few minutes before starting your main meal. Eating mindfully and stopping when you feel satisfied helps your body adjust and keeps your energy steady for nighttime worship.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged moderation during iftar. Eating slowly and in smaller portions allows your stomach to signal fullness and prevents overindulgence.
  • Begin with dates and water.
  • Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
  • Use smaller plates to control portion sizes.
  • Pause briefly between courses to check if you feel full.
  • Avoid rushing through your meal after fasting.
