In the heart of the Islamic belief system, the countdown to the revered month of Ramadan has come to an end. The year 2025 will mark the beginning of Ramadan on March 1st. Following the first Taraweeh prayer, individuals will wake up before the call to the pre-dawn meal, known as sahur, and observe the fasting ritual for 29 consecutive days. The Presidency of Religious Affairs, including Muğla and all 81 provinces, has released the Ramadan calendar, detailing the sahur times, iftar times, Taraweeh prayer times, and the pre-dawn meal times. This calendar will serve as a guide for all citizens observing fasting throughout Ramadan.
The pre-dawn meal, or imsak, marks the beginning of the fast and during this time, no eating or drinking is allowed. The fast is broken at sunset with the call to prayer for iftar. According to the 2025 Muğla Ramadan timetable, the most crucial aspect to consider for those observing the fast is to refrain from eating before imsak and observe the fast until iftar.

As the day draws to a close, many may wonder how to properly conduct the iftar prayer. The iftar prayer is a special prayer recited by those fasting before breaking their fast. It is a moment to express gratitude to Allah and conclude the fast with a prayer. The Prophet Muhammad, as a model for believers, would fast for Allah’s sake, break his fast with Allah’s provision, and recite a prayer opening with “Allâhümme leke sumtü ve alâ rızkıke eftartü” which translates to “O Allah! For You, I have fasted and with Your sustenance, I break my fast.”
He also emphasized the importance of making a prayer during this joyous and forgiving time, stating that every fasting person has a prayer that is not rejected when breaking the fast.
Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam where fasting is one of the five pillars of the faith, and it is a time when Allah’s mercy is abundant. Referred to as the “sultan of eleven months,” Ramadan holds significant spiritual importance for Muslims. It is a period that highlights virtues such as patience, gratitude, trust in God, generosity, and purification of the soul.
Fasting, known as oruç, is an act of worship in Islam where individuals abstain from eating, drinking, and engaging in negative actions for a specific period. Fasting during Ramadan is obligatory for Muslims and serves as a means to cultivate patience, God-consciousness, and spiritual closeness. Fasting at designated hours throughout the day facilitates spiritual and physical purification.
Niyet, or intention, is essential for fasting as it represents the commitment to fast for the sake of Allah. Making an intention to fast involves making a heartfelt decision to observe the fast for religious purposes. The time for intention begins before the pre-dawn meal and can last until noon, with the most virtuous time being before the pre-dawn meal. A common prayer for intention, “I intend to fast today for the sake of Allah,” can be recited. The key is to have a sincere intention in one’s heart, while verbalizing it is recommended. The saying of the Prophet, “Actions are judged by intentions,” highlights the importance of intention in acts of worship.
