“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would begin with Halwa (sweet dish) for Iftaar (breaking of the fast). If this was not available, he would use sugar or dates, and if no such items were available, he then would use water and say, ‘It cleanses the stomach and liver, helps bad breathe and the scent of the mouth, strengthens the teeth, the pupil of the eye and eyesight, and washes off sins. It calms down hyper veins and the gallbladder, cuts down mucus, cools heartburn and relieves sinus congestions.’”
