“I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God.”

I went to an iftar outside the other day. tbh I never iftar outside before, so I was like an iftar virgin, touched by the very first time and so many things went wrong that I just need to point out to remind everyone.

Tips on going out /alternatives:

1. Come really early. 
2. Bring the quran, bring a book.
3. Bring a bottle of water and a couple of kurmas. Just in case the restaurant doesn't give food on time (which I can assure you always happen)
4. Find a place that is near a mosque so you can Maghrib without a rush.
5. Eat after Tarawih or eat so quickly you can go the mosque in time for tarawih.
6. Eat at the mosque. Settles both 4 and 6. You can skip 2,3 but if you can't do 1, then you have to bring your own food.
7. Don't iftar outside. Just don't.

and by outside I mean at the mall, or a restaurant. I honestly don't see the point. You rush for maghrib and sometimes you have to skip tarawih and it's really not worth it. Sure, you can tarawih at home, but how does that even compare to having an imam. That was the first and probably the last time I iftar outside so long as I don't need to compromise my tarawih.
