Iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast in Ramadan, begins each day at Maghrib (sunset). In the UK, Iftar times vary throughout the month because sunset shifts daily.
Ramadan follows the lunar calendar, which means it begins around ten days earlier each year. Therefore, to stay accurate, you should check daily Iftar times for Ramadan 2025 using an online timetable or by visiting your local Islamic centre.
Iftar has both physical and spiritual importance. Beyond providing nourishment, it is a moment when Allah (SWT) shows mercy and love to those who have fasted. Moreover, it carries special significance for those who provide food for others at this blessed time.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person.”
[Tirmidhi]
Each year, AFECC organises daily Iftar during the month of Ramadan. We provide food to bring the community together and to support those less fortunate. By contributing, you help provide Iftar for others and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT).
It is recommended to read this du’a at Iftar when breaking your fast:
(Arabic Dua)
“Dhahaba adh-Dhama’ wabtallatil-urooq wa thabatal-ajr inshaa’Allah”
[Abu Dawud]
Translation: Thirst is gone, the veins are wet, and the reward is confirmed by the will of Allah.
Iftar is also one of the best times for making du’a. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“There are three whose duaa is not rejected – the fasting person when he breaks his fast, a just ruler, and the prayer of the oppressed person”
[Tirmidhi]
As you break your fast, remember to make du’a for those in need around the world.
