According to Prof Muhammad Syukri in his opening speech, Muslims abstain from food and liquid during the daylight hours of the holy month of Ramadhan and break the fast at sunset. The breaking of fast together is a way to share Islamic traditions and enjoy a meal together in friendship. Sharing food with others is an important part of marking the holiest month in Islam. Everybody is commanded to be very generous.
