خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Sahar' is deeply tied to the 'Adhan' (call to prayer). Even non-religious people often respect the 'Sahar' as a time of mental clarity and peace. Traditional merchants believe that the first customer of the day (Dasht) brings luck. Being 'Sahar-khiz' ensures you are there for the 'Dasht'. Classical poets like Rumi and Saadi often wrote about the 'Sahar' breeze (Baad-e-Sahar) as a messenger of love and wisdom. Iranian students preparing for the 'Konkur' (national university entrance exam) are often told this proverb daily by their parents.
