Fasting during Ramadan, known as Sawm, is not just about abstaining from food and drink. It also encourages self-restraint, increased prayer, reading of the Quran, acts of kindness, and charity. The month concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
What Is Sehri?
Sehri (also called Suhoor) is the pre-dawn meal consumed before the fast begins. It must be completed before the Fajr prayer at dawn. This meal helps provide energy for the long hours of fasting ahead.

Many people prefer light yet nutritious foods during Sehri, including fruits, dates, whole grains, yogurt, and water to stay hydrated throughout the day.
What Is Iftar?
Iftar is the meal taken at sunset to break the fast. Traditionally, many Muslims open their fast with dates and water, following the Sunnah (practice) of Prophet Muhammad, before performing the Maghrib prayer and then having a full meal.
Iftar often becomes a community event, where families and friends gather to break their fast together. Mosques and charitable organizations also host large Iftar gatherings.
Sehri and Iftar timings may vary slightly depending on geographical location, calculation methods, and local mosque announcements. Worshippers are advised to confirm exact prayer timings with their nearest mosque or trusted Islamic authority.
