breaking the fast an important time during Ramadan

RAMADAN 2022. Every day during the month of Ramadan, Muslims following the restrictions end their fast in the evening during Iftar. And the time of breaking the fast varies daily.

Ramadan is a great event for practicing Muslims, who respect the prohibitions and restrictions imposed by Islam in this period of meditation. And every day the breaking of the fast is eagerly awaited. This occurs every day during Iftar, this moment when it is therefore possible to drink again and eat again, until dawn the next day. To know the precise time of this iftar, he makes it known that it evolves and varies daily. It is therefore necessary to consult the precise calendar of Ramadan to find out about it (via our article below).

This year, Ramadan theoretically begins on Saturday April 2, 2022. Iftar therefore allows Muslims who respect Ramadan to have their meal, which is also associated with the so-called “Maghreb” prayer. Like suhûr, “dawn meal” (not to be confused with sunrise), iftar is a traditional meal governed by ancestral customs. The meal must thus remain light, unlike the meal taken in the morning before starting the fast again. It is a dinner that marks the end of a day of physical and mental asceticism.

During the month of Ramadan, this year, iftar takes place around 8:30 p.m. in early April, around 9:00 p.m. in late April (Paris time). The time for breaking the fast, or “iftar”, is pushed back by one minute every day, depending on the sunset. In question: the days which lengthen with the approach of the summer solsticechanging the nightfall.

Iftar is usually “composed of fruits and sweet derivatives, as well as vegetable fats, which quickly calm hunger and fatigue of the day”, writes the specialist blogger Al-Kanz on his website. A few tens of grams of chocolate or half a bowl of almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts, can be followed by two fresh or cooked fruits, compote or even dried fruits. The drink, above all, must be served at will, without sugar or milk. The goal: to rehydrate and eliminate the toxins of the day.
