Prayer schedules shape Ramadan observance

Clear Sahur and Iftar timings remain important as the fast progresses. They help Muslims follow the prophetic guidance to delay the pre-dawn meal for as long as possible and to break the fast immediately at sunset.

Mosques rely on them for congregational prayers, households plan meals around them, and businesses often adjust operating hours accordingly. The shared observance of these timings strengthens communal harmony and reduces confusion as the days of fasting continue.

Can diabetic Muslim patients fast?

Earlier, Legit.ng interacted with experts on people living with diabetes who are uncertain about whether fasting is medically safe for them.

Medical experts said fasting with diabetes is possible in some cases, but warned that it depends largely on the individual’s health status, type of diabetes, and level of blood sugar control. They advised patients to seek medical guidance before making a decision to fast.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body either fails to produce enough insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin plays a key role in regulating blood glucose levels. Globally, diabetes remains a major cause of death, with millions affected each year, many of them below the age of 70.
