The importance of the month of Ramadan and fasting times

The month of Ramadan holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. It is a month of fasting, prayer, and reciting the Quran, a month of mercy, forgiveness, and deliverance from Hellfire. The fast begins at true dawn (the time of Imsak and the Fajr prayer call) and ends at sunset (the time of Iftar and the Maghrib prayer call). Knowing these times precisely is essential for the validity of a Muslim's fast. Imsak marks the beginning of abstaining from food, drink, and all other things that break the fast, while Iftar is a joyous moment when family and community members gather around a single table, thanking God for His blessings.
