5 Best Food Options for Iftar During Ramzan Festival
“He who gives Iftar to another fasting person shall earn reward equivalent to a fasting man without detracting from the reward of the latter”
It’s that time again this year as the holiest month of the Islamic religion has just begun. A festival celebrating the practice of self-control and holy deeds. Every year during Ramzan, millions of Muslims around the world observe the fast, known as Roza. According to Islamic tradition, the main purpose of observing Roza is to instill a sense of intemperance.
A typical day for someone observing Roza begins with a hearty pre-dawn meal called Suhoor or Sehri. The person then observes a strict fast from dawn until sunset and breaks the fast after the evening prayers with an Iftar feast.
Iftar brings families and communities together over a variety of delicious dishes. Traditionally, Muslims break their fast with dates, following the practice associated with Prophet Muhammad, who is traditionally believed to have broken his fast with three dates.
Even if you are traveling by train, you can also order special Iftar meals on the train using e-services.
