Iftar is the evening meal when the daily Ramadan fast ends at sunset. Iftar is one of the religious observances of Ramadan and is often done as a community, with people gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is taken right after Maghrib time, which is around sunset.
Traditionally but not mandatory, three dates are eaten to break the fast. Many Muslims believe that feeding someone Iftar as a form of charity is very rewarding and many practice it even today.
