Iftar, the meal to break your fast at sunset, is an important part of Ramadan. Following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it is recommended to break your fast with dates and water. After that, enjoy a balanced meal with protein, vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates.
Eating slowly and mindfully helps digestion and prevents discomfort after a long day of fasting. Iftar is also a moment for gratitude, reflection, and sharing food with family or those in need.
