On the other hand, when the time for true dawn comes, one should refrain from eating and drinking to observe the fast according to the said time and standards. Moreover, when it comes to offering the Fajr prayer, false dawn is not the beginning of the Fajr prayer time. Now coming onto the true dawn, this is known as Al-Fajr Al-Sadiq. It is time for Muslims to offer their Fajr prayers to witness the new day has come.

It is in the Holy Quran where Almighty Allah says, “and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)” [al-Baqarah 2:187]
