What is Suhoor? How did it come about?
In the first days when fasting was made obligatory, the Companions could eat, drink and be with their wives after breaking their fast as long as they did not sleep at night. But when it was evening, they slept hard, including the time of iftar, and could not do any of them. They fasted until the sun went down the next day. (Ibn Hagar)
One day, a Companion named Kays bin Sırma (ra) came home tiredly and asked his wife to prepare a meal for iftar. But Kays, who worked all day, fell asleep until his wife came.
Thus, he had to start the next day’s fast without eating and started working in his field again. However, in the middle of the day, he passed out due to hunger and fatigue. Our Prophet (saas) was informed of this situation of Kays.
Thereupon, the following verse, which was instrumental in the start of the practice we call “sahur”, was revealed for the convenience of believers;
“It is permissible for you to approach your women on the night of fasting. They are a dress for you, and you are a dress for them. God knew that you were doing yourself a disservice, and He accepted your repentance and forgave you. Now approach them (in your Ramadan nights) and ask for what Allah has ordained for you. Eat and drink until the white thread (light) of the morning can be distinguished from the black thread (darkness), then complete your fast until the evening.” (Bukhari)
Our Prophet (saas) about Suhoor“The thing that separates our fasting from the fasting of the People of the Book is the suhoor meal” (Muslim) stated that making sahur is a distinctive feature of Muslims in fasting.

For this time, our Prophet (saas)“Indeed, at every iftar time, there are those who are freed by Allah (from the fire of Hell). This (emancipation process in Ramadan) happens every night.” As (Ibn Majah) expressed in his words, it is time for forgiveness.
Our Prophet (pbuh); “…The believer has two joys. The first is the joy when he breaks his fast at the time of iftar, and the other is the joy of fasting (resulting from his reward) when he meets his Lord.” he ordered.
