What is Ramzan and Why Muslims Fast?
Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims fast during this month because it is believed that the Holy Quran was revealed in Ramzan. Fasting from dawn to sunset is one of the five pillars of Islam and is obligatory for all healthy adult Muslims.
During Ramzan:
-
Muslims fast from Sehri (pre-dawn) to Iftar (sunset)
-
Extra prayers such as Taraweeh are offered
-
Charity, kindness, and patience are encouraged
-
Quran recitation increases
What is Sehri?
Sehri (Suhoor) is the meal eaten before dawn, just before the Fajr prayer. It provides energy for the fast throughout the day.
People usually prefer:
-
Roti or bread
-
Eggs, yogurt, milk
-
Fruits and dates
-
Plenty of water
Eating a balanced Sehri helps maintain strength and hydration.
What is Iftar?
Iftar is the meal eaten at sunset to break the fast. Traditionally, Muslims break their fast with dates and water, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Iftar is often shared with family, neighbors, and the needy, creating a strong sense of community and gratitude.
