Ramadan, in Islam, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar and the holy month of fasting.
It begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon.
At Iftar, Muslims gather to break their fast at the time of adhan of the Maghrib prayer.
This is their second meal of the day; the daily fast during Ramadan begins immediately after the pre-dawn meal of suhur and continues during the daylight hours, ending with sunset with the evening meal of iftar.
Because Iftar signifies love and oneness of the Islamic faithfuls who come together to share meals as they break their fast, it is imperative to have a meal plan that will help you decide on tasty meal choices for your loved ones. Listed below are some Nigerian delicacies you can choose from.
