Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year for Muslims around the world. They fast during the day in commemoration of the revelation of the Quran. It is also a way to develop a more profound connection with God and develop self-control, thankfulness and empathy for those who are less fortunate. Sehri and Iftar are highly important to Muslims during this blessed month. Sehri is the meal eaten early in the morning before sunrise, which marks the start of the fasting hours. Iftar is the meal which is consumed at sunset to break the fast.
