During this month, Muslims keep ‘Roza’ and abstain from eating and drinking. They also abstain from indulging in any kind of evil practices like lying and fighting.
People who keep Roza start their fast with a pre-dawn meal known as sehri (suhoor) and they break their fast with iftar, which is a meal eaten after the sunset.
Since the time of sunset and sunset differs every day, the time of first meal and last meal also changes for Muslims keeping Roza. Hence, it is important to know the Ramadan timings of each day.
