Iran is a Muslim country. During Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day, say several prayers and then break their fast with a special evening meal. Fasting is obligatory for Muslims, with the exception of pregnant women, the ill, children or diabetics. From sunrise to sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming any food, drinking liquids and smoking. Empathizing with the poor and the needy, learning to appreciate God’s blessings in their lives, sharing food with the poor, inviting people for the meal that breaks the fast (iftâr), giving to charity, and reading the whole Quran during this month attract numerous divine rewards.
