Description

Muslims break their fast at sunset as it is the time prescribed in the Quran for ending the daily fast during the month of Ramadan. This time marks the Maghrib prayer, which is performed just after sunset. The fast is broken with dates and water, as Prophet Muhammad is reported to have done, followed by a meal known as iftar.
Breaking the fast at sunset also has spiritual significance in Islam. It symbolizes gratitude to Allah for providing sustenance.
