سحری

In Iran, the rhythm of Ramadan reshapes daily life for the month. Restaurants close for daytime service, work hours often shift earlier or later, mosques and TV channels schedule special programming. The pre-dawn hour has its own atmosphere: streets quiet, kitchens lit, families speaking in low voices not to wake neighbors. Religious Iranians describe sahari as one of the most peaceful meals of the year. For non-fasting Iranians, who exist in significant numbers, the same hour is just very early.
