Muslims fast from pre-dawn to dusk, for a month in Ramzan
New Delhi: The ninth month of the Islamic calendar year, Ramadan or Ramzan, which is considered to be the holiest month among the muslim community and in which they observe a month long fast starts on Wednesday (April 14) in India.
In this blessed month, Muslims across the globe seek for Allah s forgiveness and ask for his guidance. They also observe a month-long fast which starts before sunrise and ends at sunset each day.
Before starting their fast, Muslims eat a pre-dawn meal called sehri or suhoor, to help their body get nutrition to stay without food for long hours. The fast is broken at the time of dusk with a feasty meal generally, which is called Iftar.
