Central to this observance are two specific times: Sehri (or Suhoor), the pre-dawn meal consumed before the first light of day to begin the fast, and Iftar, the sunset meal used to break the fast, traditionally starting with dates and water.

The month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, commemorating the revelation of the Quran. Beyond abstaining from food and drink, the fast is a period intended for self-discipline, increased charity (Zakat), and nightly prayers known as Tarawih. Religious scholars emphasise that while the physical fast involves abstaining from food and drink, the spiritual fast requires guarding one's speech and actions against negativity.
