The Sharjah Police have officially announced 10 sites within the emirate where Iftar cannons will be fired during Ramadan 2025, following a long-standing tradition marking the break of the daily fast. This long-standing practice is deeply rooted in cultural and religious tradition in the UAE and brings communities together to celebrate the holy month.
The Iftar cannon firing will be conducted in strategic areas, such as major mosques, public squares, and historical sites, to ensure that residents throughout Sharjah can see and experience this symbolic moment. The cannons will be fired shortly before the Maghrib prayer, which is the time when Muslims are allowed to break their daily fast.
Sharjah Police have highlighted the need for public safety and compliance with regulations when attending these events. Special provisions have been put in place to cater to large crowds, and a smooth and respectful experience is guaranteed for all visitors. Authorities will also ensure additional security measures to control the crowds and maintain order.
This centuries-old annual practice is still an integral part of the UAE’s Ramadan traditions, bringing people together and creating a sense of spiritual harmony. Sharjah Police’s initiative to continue the tradition of the Iftar cannon firing helps to make the Ramadan experience richer for residents and tourists alike.
