Muslims start their fast after eating the Suhoor or Sehri in the early hours of the morning. It is eaten before dawn during Ramadan. They break the fast by eating the Iftar meal in the evening.
How is the Fast observed?
Muslims in the city rise early before the Fajr prayer to eat Sehri, then refrain from food and drink throughout the daylight hours. The fast is broken at Iftari, traditionally starting with dates and water, followed by prayers and evening meals with family and friends.

Practice patience, offer prayers on time, give charity, show kindness, maintain good behaviour, prohibit consumption of alcohol, and strengthen family and community bonds through shared prayers and meals.
Avoid food and drink during fasting hours, lying, fighting, over-eating at Iftar, sinful activities, and neglecting spiritual duties are things to be avoided.
