Ramzan (Ramadan) feasting

Ramzan, or Ramadan, is a sacred month for Muslims marked by fasting from dawn to sunset to enhance spiritual reflection and self-discipline. After sunset, the fast is broken with a meal called iftar, which often begins with dates and water, followed by a communal or family meal featuring diverse, nourishing foods. The pre-dawn meal before fasting begins is called suhoor. These feasts foster unity, gratitude, and mindfulness, emphasizing community bonding and reflection on blessings. The overall focus is on spiritual growth, self-control, and appreciation for sustenance and community.
