Common card · No. 267676

Iftar (Arabic: إفطار, romanized: ifṭār; IPA: [ʔif.tˤaːr]) is the fast-breaking evening meal of Muslims in Ramadan at the time of adhan (call to prayer) of the Maghrib prayer. Iftar is the second meal of the day; during Ramadan, the daily fast begins immediately after the pre-dawn meal of suhur and continues during the daylight hours, ending at sunset with the evening meal of iftar. In 2023, UNESCO added iftar to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Families and communities often gather together to share food and prayer. In many Muslim communities, mosques or organizations host large communal iftar meals.
