Significance Of Ramadan

Ramadan, also known as Ramzan, is regarded as the most sacred month in Islam. During this time, Muslims focus on prayer, fasting, charity and spiritual reflection. Observing daily prayers, practicing patience and avoiding harmful habits form an essential part of the month.

Fasting during Ramadan is believed to strengthen both physical endurance and spiritual discipline, while also reminding people to show compassion toward those less fortunate.

What Is Roza?

Roza refers to the act of fasting from dawn until sunset. During this period, Muslims abstain from food, water and other physical needs. Despite long hours and challenging weather conditions in some regions, the fast is observed with devotion and sincerity.

What Is Sehri?

Sehri, also known as Suhoor, is the meal eaten before dawn prior to the start of the daily fast. People wake up early in the morning to eat and drink so that they can sustain themselves throughout the day. A balanced Sehri meal helps maintain energy during the fasting hours.

What Is Iftar?

Iftar is the meal with which Muslims break their fast at sunset. Families often gather to pray and share food together. Traditionally, the fast is opened with dates and water, followed by a full meal.
