Families and friends also host their own iftars, gathering together to break their fasts, enjoy each other's company, and engage in religious activities together.
"In Muslim families, communities, and societies, there's even more attention to what folks are going to break their fasts with and sometimes there's special cuisines or favorite dishes," Rahman said.
Rahman said it's a time for coming together and praying together, "especially for those we know are being deprived and are experiencing injustice and oppression, especially at this moment."
When does Ramadan end? When is Eid Al-Fitr?
This year, it's predicted that Ramadan will end on April 9, with the following day being the first day of Eid Al-Fitr. However, like the start of Ramadan, the ending of the month is also contingent on the sighting of the moon.
Muslims end the month of Ramadan with the celebration of Eid Al-Fitr, one of the two celebratory holidays in the Islamic faith. Eid Al-Fitr is a time when Muslims come together in prayer, and also celebrate completing Ramadan.
Traditions vary across the world, but it's not uncommon for families to buy new clothes, get dressed up, gather together, and give presents or money to each other.
"It's a festive holiday to look forward to," Rahman said.
