Those who keep fasts, also known as ‘Roza’, in the month of Ramadan have to abstain themselves from eating and drinking during the day. They can only eat two meals in a day. The first meal is taken before the sunrise. It is known as ‘sehri’ or ‘suhoor’. The second meal of the day is to break the fast. It is eaten after the sunset and is known as ‘iftar’.

Muslims enjoy lavish meals at the time of both sehri and iftar. Most of them include dates in their meals as they are considered holy and are mentioned in the Quran too.

Let us tell you that the month of Ramadan is considered special because the Qur’an was unveiled in this month. During this month, Muslims read the Qur’an much more than in any other time of the year.

When this holy time comes to an end, Muslims all over the world pay alms to the poor and disadvantaged. This is called as ‘zakat al-fitr’ or fitra.

The amount of zakat is calculated based on an Arabic system of measuring dates and grains, known as saa’a. Every Muslim has to complete this process before starting with the celebrations for Eid.
