The Significance of Sehri and Iftar
Fasting, known as Sawm, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. From dawn to sunset, observers abstain from food, drink and other physical needs. Sehri is regarded as a blessed and spiritually rewarding meal that provides nourishment for the long fasting hours. Iftar is a moment of gratitude and reflection, traditionally begun by eating dates and drinking water, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad.
As Ramadan progresses, fasting durations gradually change each day due to shifting sunrise and sunset times. Ramadan 2026 Guide: Full List of What Breaks Your Fast and What Doesn't.
