What is Ramadan and fasting:
Actually Ramadan is the very special month for Muslim, It continue one month and after completion of fasting, we celebrate, The “Eid –Ul- Fitr” or “Eid festival”, ~ the biggest festival for Muslim people! And this day is celebrated by almost whole world as a special national Holiday!
Ramadan means not only just fasting (without having foods, drinks and sex) it is great month of “Peach”. Moreover Ramadan month is a training period for all Muslims ‘for rectify ourselves!’, it teaches us how to control ourselves as good man, how control our attitude, eating habits, behavior with other people, develop sacrifice mind, life styles and others human characters, develop prayers mind …, in a word a Ramadan helps us to be a “real pure man”! Muslims are trained by this holy months and continue their activities whole the yearlong as per training.

Anyway today my main intention to let you know what kind of foods I prefer at Iftar (fast breaking time). Fast breaking time is known by the Muslim in the world as “IFTAR”, It is very hoy time and important time for all Muslim, This also a very good time for prayer and Allah (our creator) loves that time prayer too much (prayer just few minutes before Iftar)

In our country we live in the tropical region, and maximum time in a year here is hot weather! And Ramadan is in this year at full summer period. We finish our last eating in the very early morning (about 04.00am) and we break our fasting about 06.20pm. As here we have to fast more than 14 hours, we become rehydrate and our body needs much water at ifter (fast breaking time), So I recommend for my Iftar liquid food much than other spicy and oily food! Actually Iftar is very special for all Muslim people, they always try to make delicious and some special foods at that time eat together with whole family, sometimes with neighbors, sometimes with friend and relatives and sometimes with office colleagues, Now a days Covid -19 pandemic situation is serious so we mostly take ifter with our family only. Although there are so many items have in the Iftar, but I strongly recommend you to all to eat some Sherbets, Fresh fruits juice (fruits make sliced and blended in the house), fresh cow milk, and other some healthy beverages. In here now Lemons, water melons, papayas, mangos and pineapples are available. These kinds of fruits juice can be the best drinks for Iftar. Besides that some Juicy fruits also will be the great foods for Iftar, Like Dates, bananas, pine apples, papayas, guavas, apples , Maltas, mangoes ets … Now all the above mentioned fruits are available in our country.

In my house everyday I break my fasting (at Iftar) with “Dates” ( as it is our Sunnah, i.e. our prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM) always beark fasting with dates, then i go (2nd choice) for Sharbat /special drinks (a very special Sherbat namely “Rooh Afza”. Rooh Afza is famous in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Now a days it also popular at some Arab countries. It is a healthy syrups that can make a healthy drinks too!

Lets know in brief about “Sharbat- E - Rooh Afza” :
It is one kind Herbal Syrups (beverage/drinks) made of some fruits, vegetables, roots and flowers. The producer of this syrup name is Hamdard (Waqf) Laboratories Company. It was first made in 1906 AD, in India. After 2nd world war it also established in Pakistan, and later 1971 after Liberation war It started factory in Bangladesh too.

How to make Sherbet e rooh Afza (Herbal Healthy drinks):
Sharbat e Rooh Afza is very easy to make:
- Simple Sharbat can made one tablespoon syrup in a glass of cold or normal water and need some sugar (depends on people taste), generally one tablespoon sugar is enough to make it, Just sir with a spoon then you can have a delicious Sherbat, but you can mix some lemon juice for different taste and make it more healthy. You may put some ice bar to make it colder.
- Some people like Milky Sharbat -E-Rooh Afza, You can also make it easily, just instead of water you may use one glass of cold milk and one table spoon of Rooh Afza syrup , one tablespoon sugar, then stir it nicely then if you like then put some ice bars and lemons for more tasty.
- Some people like “Roof Afza” syrup put in a cup or glass of ice-cream and put some nuts on it (almond, cashew nut, pesto nut too) for different flavor and taste.

Ok. Again Let’s come to the point.- I prefer always liquid food in Iftar, Along with Roof Afza Sharbat I also prefer fresh “juicy fruits juices” , mainly papaya, watermelon, pine apple , mangos, sometimes others depends on availability…Besides that I always eat bananas, apples, maltas,guavas and some other local fruits as per availability. I love eat curds, it is so healthy too. Although I want to avoid spicy and oiy food like “Chona ” , “Beguni” , “Peyaju” , “Alu chop” but as a traditional food I have eat a little bit at times. At Iftar some sweet foods are also popular like “Chira”, “Payesh”, “ Curd” ice cream. Sometimes we eat bread with beef or chicken curry too, Even sometimes we eat some rich food like Polao, Khichuri, Biryani etc at Iftar…
Now your turn, Pls share your Iftar preferences here to let us know ….
