The prayer is one of the obligatory rites of Islam, to be performed five times a day by an obedient Muslim. Its supreme importance for Muslims is indicated by its status as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Muslims fulfill this religious obligation by giving a fixed percentage of their surplus wealth. Zakat has been paired with such a high sense of righteousness that it is often placed on the same level of importance as offering Salat.

Iftar is one of the religious observances of Ramadan and is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is done right after Maghrib (sunset) time. Traditionally, a date is the first thing to be consumed during iftar when the fast is broken.
