themselves to prayer and acts of charity as prescribed by Allah.

This holy practice extends beyond mere abstinence from food and drink; it embodies a journey of self-
discipline, purification, and renewal of faith. Muslims abstain from vices such as alcohol consumption,
gambling, and maintain chastity during this holy period. Moreover, they strive to express virtues of
kindness, generosity, and empathy towards others.
The fasting experience, enduring the rigors of hunger and thirst amidst the sweltering heat of summer
days cleanses your body, soul and mind and makes you strong p. By observing sehri (pre-dawn meal)
and iftar (evening meal), individuals partake in a ritual that not only nourishes the body but also feeds the
soul, fostering a deep sense of gratitude and connection to Allah.
Beyond the physical aspect, Ramadan fosters a culture of mindfulness and devotion, with believers
prioritizing their relationship with Allah amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Through the five daily
prayers and additional acts of worship, Muslims find solace and strength in communing with their Creator,
reaffirming their faith and commitment to righteousness.

What is Sehri and Iftar?
Sehri, also known as Suhur, holds a revered place in the hearts and traditions of Muslims worldwide,
particularly during the sacred month of Ramadan. As a pre-dawn meal, Sehri provides individuals
necessary nutrition and hydration before embarking on the day’s fast.
At the break of dawn, before the commencement of the daily fast signaled by the Fajr prayer, Muslims
partake in Sehri, a practice steeped in both religious devotion and cultural significance. This cherished
meal provides sustenance and strength, equipping believers with the energy and nourishment needed to
endure the fasting hours ahead.
Comprising a balanced assortment of proteins, grains, fruits, and liquids, Sehri is meticulously crafted to
sustain optimal energy levels and promote proper hydration throughout the day-long fast. Beyond its
physical benefits, Sehri fosters a sense of communal unity and spiritual preparation, as individuals gather
to partake in this cherished tradition before beginning their fast in earnest.
Iftar, the cherished evening meal during the sacred month of Ramadan, marks the momentous occasion
of breaking the day-long fast at sunset, coinciding with the melodious call to prayer known as the Maghrib
adhan. As the second meal of the day, iftar holds profound cultural and religious significance,
transcending mere sustenance to become a cherished tradition celebrated by Muslims worldwide.
Recognizing its cultural importance, UNESCO honored iftar by including it in the prestigious list of
Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2023. Beyond its symbolic value, iftar serves as a poignant reminder of
unity and communal solidarity, as families and friends gather to partake in this sacred ritual together,
following the completion of the Maghrib Prayer.
At the onset of iftar, it is customary to break the fast with three dates, a practice steeped in reverence for
Prophet Muhammad’s teachings. This simple act holds profound spiritual meaning, symbolizing gratitude
and remembrance. Additionally, the act of sharing iftar with others is considered a virtuous deed in Islam,
as it embodies the spirit of charity and compassion.
Amidst the friendly atmosphere of iftar gatherings, socializing takes precedence, fostering bonds of
friendship and kinship as individuals come together to share in the blessings of the evening meal. Beyond
its culinary delights, iftar embodies the essence of Ramadan, serving as a time for reflection, gratitude,
and communal harmony.
