isn't it Sunnah to first eat a date or drink water?
Growing up, I was taught that the first thing we are to eat at iftar time cannot touch fire,
meaning nothing cooked.
Hence the dates and water.

Am I wrong

“Why is it that we dislike death? Why is it we don't want to die?” Sulayman asked.
Abu Hazim replied, “Because you have built and established this world and you have destroyed your Aakhirah, so you hate to go from what you have established to what you have destroyed.”
