Iftar (Arabic: إفطار ifṭār 'breakfast') is the evening meal when Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset.
For Sunnis, the fast can be broken at the time of the call to prayer for the evening prayer; for Shias, it is only after the evening prayer.
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 in emulation of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, who broke his fast in this manner. Many Muslims believe that feeding someone iftar as a form of charity is very rewarding and that such was practised by the Prophet Muhammad.
AH Qasmi provides this information for breaking the fast to say this prayer at the time of Iftar:
according to a publication of South Africa:
In Afghanistan, Iftar usually includes the traditional dates, shorwa (soup), kebabs, du piyaza (meat stewed in an onion-based sauce), manto (seasoned, minced meat wrapped in pasta), kabuli palaw (rice with lentils, raisins, carrots, and lamb), shorm beray, bolani (fried or baked flat bread with a vegetable filling), and rice, as well as other dishes. Afghans also have an extensive range of sweet dishes and desserts.
Bastard
You little creep
Time after time
You prove that you’re blind
Listen
Don’t try to think
Shut the fuck up
I want you to stop
Open your mind for my heart to enter
Embrace the wind
Don’t fear the light
Open the gate – The battle can start
Embrace my sin
Or get out of my sight
You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won’t it mean shit?
Force fed
With your commands
You nag and you nag
You’ll kneel and you’ll beg
Please don’t
Just listen to me
Hear what I say
This is the way
Open your mind for my heart to enter
Embrace the wind
Don’t fear the light
Open the gate – The battle can start
Embrace my sin
Or get out of my sight
You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won’t it mean shit?
No more
I’ll bite the hand
Enough is enough This got to stop
It’s over
I am my own
No longer your slave
Free to walk away
You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won’t it mean shit?
You will kneel before it
My shining star
