Ramadan is the most blessed month of the year in Islamic culture, it is when Muslims abstain from worldly pleasure. It is also a time of spiritual reflection and worship to become closer to Allah. A month of dawn to sunset fasting for Muslims, they cannot eat food nor drink liquids. Just before the fast, Muslims have “suhoor” a pre-dawn meal to get them through the day. After sunset, they gathering to break their fast together with a meal called “Iftar”.
