Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan, Simsek said. “However, fasting during Ramadan is not just about refraining from eating and drinking; it encompasses abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset,” he said. “It is a time for Muslims to purify their hearts and minds, engage in deep spiritual reflection, and cultivate a sense of empathy for those who are less fortunate.” At sunset, Muslims gather for Iftar to mark the end of their fast for the day, sharing a meal with family and community.
