2008-09-24T22:30:00.000-07:00

Iftar means breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan। Beginning to eat after the sun sets - especially during ramadhan।
Ramadan began the first of the month. During this month, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, and make extra effort to get closer to God by giving charity and focusing on spiritual practices, such as tarawih (special Ramadan prayers). However, before all the evening activities begin, everyone breaks their fast at iftar time.
Iftar happens at the time the adhan (call to prayer) occurs at maghrib (sunset prayer)। Traditionally, Muslims will break their fasts with dates and water. Sweets and other savory foods often fill the table, as well. After maghrib is offered, a full meal is shared. Many people stress the importance of sharing iftar with others, and not eating alone.
