I think they have very specific timings for breaking fast, you must be very punctual and have the food prepared and be on standby beforehand. Allah is not pleased with Muslims who are late in the Ramadan month.

Talk about the tyranny of the minority.
Muslims and non-Muslims in Australia on sharing the spirit of Ramadan
ago

The month of Ramadan begins this evening, with Muslims all around the world fasting from dawn to dusk until May 11.
After spending the previous Ramadan in isolation due to coronavirus restrictions, Muslims in Australia are excited to celebrate the holy month with their loved ones once more.
For some, those connections beyond community and faith.
A month for celebrating each other
Ty Randle, who grew up in a Christian household, is celebrating Ramadan and Eid (the festival that follows the month of Ramadan) this year with his Indonesian Muslim partner, Diaswati (Asti) Mardiasmo.
Mr Randle and Dr Mardiasmo first met in 2008, but reconnected and started dating 10 years later in 2019.
While he still identifies with Christianity, Mr Randle is open to celebrating other faiths and cultures.

"I celebrate Ramadhan with Asti and [her daughter] Ariella because it is part of her belief and I am open to new ideas and cultures and new beliefs," he said.
Dr Mardiasmo, a single mother living in Brisbane, said religion had always been a large part of her life, so it was important that Mr Randle celebrated with her and her daughter, whether it's through Iftar (communal meals to break the fast) or Eid events.
"It's one of the most special month being a Muslim, and I have always loved celebrating Ramadan and Eid," she said.
"I love that Ty is so open about celebrating with me, I feel very lucky that he is ready and willing to embrace it."
In return, she welcomes celebrating his faith.
"We celebrate Easter, Ramadhan and Eid, and Christmas together as a unit, so there is that 'fairness' feeling that doesn't make anyone feel like their beliefs are secondary to the other," Dr Mardiasmo said.

Some Muslims in Australia are celebrating Ramadan with the people they call family, although not related by blood.
Nurul is the president of Sydney Queer Muslims, a non-profit community organisation that brings Muslim members of the LGBTQ* community together.
Every Ramadan, the organisation organises events such as Iftar for their members.
"Apart from the spiritual aspect, Ramadan is the one month where family gatherings happen most," she said.
Their Ramadan events are open to non-Muslim partners and allies who play a large role in the support system of a queer Muslim.
"It gives you a sense of belonging, which is a basic human need that they have been denied by their families."
Nurul is grateful for the easing of coronavirus restrictions because it means they can continue to provide a sense of connection and community for queer Muslims while being COVID safe.
"For those of us who still have a relationship with [God], we fast because it is one of the five pillars of Islam," Nurul said.
"It is important for people to realise that being queer is just one of the many aspects of our being."
A month that shows family goes beyond faith

Adalyah Swann is in Year 11, and lives with her mother and stepfather in Brisbane.
She grew up in a multifaith household — her mother, Andrietta Swann, is Christian and her step-father, Anze Malalan, is a Muslim who converted in 2006.
While she has celebrated Ramadan and Eid in the past, Adalyah only converted to Islam in January, so this year is special.
"I'm really excited for the full Ramadan [experience], especially as a Muslim now," she said.
"I'll be preparing and celebrating the month properly and with greater intentions and purpose.

Adalyah's journey began when she studied the Islamic faith with the help of her Muslim friends and community.
It was also made easier with the blessings and support from her mother and stepfather.
"We were both happy and elated with her journey and the dedication she put towards learning everything she knows now," Andrietta Swann said.
Meanwhile, this won't be Mr Randle's first experience celebrating Ramadan, and while he doesn't fast, he's looking forward to the upcoming festivities and the food.
"I feel happy that Asti is including me in all of this," he told the ABC.
"I do still have strong beliefs of my own religion, however, that does not mean that we cannot enjoy celebrating others.

Over the artic circle, sometimes sun never sets. For 3 months. So how to pray 5 times a day and fast during ramadan if that occurs,.
The creator, if indeed He made such rituals, there would be no mistakes. As He is ALL knowing. ALL wise.

In the gulf states, their daily routine turns upside down during ramadan. They stay up all night and sleep all day.I think they have very specific timings for breaking fast, you must be very punctual and have the food prepared and be on standby beforehand. Allah is not pleased with Muslims who are late in the Ramadan month.
