The fast begins with Sehri, a pre-dawn meal consumed before the first light of day, and concludes with Iftar, the meal taken to break the fast immediately after the sunset call to prayer.

The Significance of the Mid-Ramadan Phase

By March 13, observers have entered the second ten days of Ramadan, often referred to as the stage of Maghfirah (Forgiveness). This period is marked by increased evening prayers, known as Taraweeh, and community gatherings for Iftar.

Health experts recommend that during Sehri, individuals focus on slow-digesting carbohydrates and high-fiber foods to maintain energy levels throughout the day. For Iftar, it is traditionally recommended to break the fast with dates and water to provide an immediate burst of natural sugar and hydration.
