The beginning and the ending of fasting in mosques
According to the tradition passed down from Muhammad, Muslims eat a pre-breakfast called sehari. All food and drink should be completed before the adhan of fajr, the pre-morning call for prayer. Unlike the zuhr and maghrib prayers, which have explicit descriptions of the stars (in the afternoon and after sunset), there are several meanings used to make the time of the “true dawn” (al-fajr al-Sadiq), as stated in the hadith. This is when the solar center is 12 to 21 degrees below the atmosphere [16] which is about 40 to 60 minutes before dawn. There are no restrictions on breakfast other than those of Islamic dietary rules. After completing the suhur, Muslims recite the fajr prayer. No food or drink can be taken after suhur. Water can enter the mouth, but can be swallowed, during wudu.
A meal eaten to end the fast is known as iftar. Muslims break the fast with days and water before the maghrib prayer, after which they can eat healthy food.
