Sawm al-Maghrib

Sawm al-Maghrib, or the fast during sunset, refers to the Islamic practice of fasting from dawn until sunset. Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours, with the fast breaking at sunset, often marked by the Maghrib prayer. This act of worship is observed especially during Ramadan to foster spiritual growth, self-discipline, and empathy for those in need. The fast concludes each day with the Maghrib prayer, emphasizing gratitude and reflection on the blessings received.
