Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the most important pillars of Islam. It is a time for thoughtful reflection and total devotion to God. During this month, more than 1.5 billion Muslims all over the world abstain from especially food and drink among other things for 29 or 30 days, from dawn to dusk. At the end of each day they gather together with friends and family to break their fast which is known as Iftar. The Iftar provides nourishment in preparation for the next day of fasting.
