Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims observe fast. During the fast, food and drink are avoided from morning to evening. During this time, Sehri (Sahur) and Iftar have special importance. Sehri is the meal that is taken before sunrise. It is done before Fajr (morning prayer) so that energy is maintained throughout the day. Sehri should be light and full of nutrition so that the body remains hydrated and there is no fatigue throughout the day.
