Iftar

Iftar is the fast-breaking evening meal of Muslims in Ramadan, taken just after the call to the Maghrib prayer. It is one of the religious observances of Ramadan and is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together. Traditionally, three dates are eaten to break the fast, as emulated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, although this is not mandatory. The meal varies by region, but typically includes a variety of dishes such as kebabs, shorwa, and sweet dishes. In some countries, such as Bangladesh, a wide range of foods is prepared for iftar, including savory and sweet items. Iftar is also considered a form of charity, and Muslims believe that feeding someone iftar is a good deed. The meal is usually followed by prayer and Taraweeh prayers, where 20 rakats are performed to finish one Juz' of the Quran.learn more on wikipedia
