Bismillah, salaam, Alaikum, wahtullah.
Dinner and doubts. I know many Rafales who prefer not eating
before Tarawa,
perhaps because of nerves or because they fear they're going to
be too full and it'll leave them uncomfortable during their
rendition and enduring the salah. I understand I was there too many
years ago, but I've changed over the years, because I've realized
you need something in your stomach. You've been fasting for
12 hours or more, and you need something to draw energy from.
Otherwise you know what's going to happen. You may lose concentration
during your prayer and you may feel fatigued or you may feel
strained afterwards to take its toll, I stood behind a half with
ones who fainted in the mihrab, dehydrated and the nourished was
not looking after himself. You need something naturally sweet,
like fruits. You need some roughage and fiber like your
veggies, you need some protein for your muscles, fish, chicken, red
meat, something, not too much, but something one plate is sufficient.
Then eating after taraweeh, so that's that's a dinner issue.
Eating after taraweeh,
you get hungry and you must eat something. Okay, but the problems
are these two problems, two potential issues. You end up not
resting adequately, because if you eat late, your body works through
the night, digesting what you've eaten, and you get up tired and
not really
hungry and craving something for sehari becomes a formality.
Secondly, if you eat too late,
you may wake up with some acid reflux that you thought was a
start of a cold, like an itch in your throat or dryness in your
mouth and throat. You thought it was a nasal drip, but it's, it's
actually. It was actually, or is actually acid reflux, heartburn,
ENT specialists, ear, nose and throat specialist will tell you
have a Gaviscon after you've eaten late at night, or have an antacid
before you eat, or
if you are able to and prop yourself up with the upper part of
your body is higher than your the lower part, and sleep in that
manner, uncomfortable, but it saves you from any reflux. The
reflux is is what
attacks your chords and your vocal box and may affect you long term.
So try your best with dinner. Is concerned. Have something before
tarawih. You need the energy. And if you must have something after,
then minimal and have the gabascon or antacid or some some liquid,
something light, and do your best to nourish yourself appropriately.
Then where doubts are concerned, it is natural to doubt. Your brain
is an overdrive. It's intensely focused. So it's going to give you
some additional options. If you're doubting throughout the day or on
your way to the masjid or before your turn, take a musthave, take a
copy of the Quran, take your phone app, etc, and check that gives you
more confidence, because you saw what you are seeing and you know
what you are supposed to say. However, if a doubt arises, if you
get a doubt during your rendition in the Salah, then my advice to
you is go with what you first felt and thought to say. Your brain
gave you more options, but you were going to say something. You
were going to say. It made you say. It made you think, isn't it
possibly what you were going to say? Yala moon, for example. It
made you think, isn't it Tala moon, my advice is, 90% of the
time your first, your initial idea or plan or intention is the
correct one. If it happens to be incorrect, those behind you
will rectify you, and if they missed it, then after you check
for yourself and you learn through the experience, there's no perfect
reciter. Doubts are going to come if ever there was a perfect
reciting with bi Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, we are merely
trying to serve the book and do our best in that space. And the
younger you are in this relationship with the Quran, the
more prone you are to some doubts, which is normal, natural with time
over years and repetition, your ear becomes conditioned to the
particular flow. Your eye becomes conditioned, your mouth becomes
conditioned, and your brain becomes conditioned, and
hopefully, your heart becomes conditioned as to where the words
fit and how they fit and where they fit.
So don't worry. So dinner, consider having something before
tarawih and having less after, so you can wake up for sahore Nice
and hungry and then your doubts. Be gentle with yourself and handle
them. Manage them and take them as a learning curve, a learning
experience. Sha Allah, salaam, Alaikum.
Muhammad Sallallahu.
