Ramadan 2026: The moon of Ramadan has been visible across the country. In such a situation, the first fast will be observed on Thursday. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is considered very sacred for the Muslim community. It is believed that Prophet Mohammad had received the verses of the Quran in this month.
The month of Ramadan is not just about being hungry and thirsty, rather it teaches self-control, patience and discipline. The fasting person does Sehri in the morning before sunrise and then does not eat or drink anything, not even water, till sunset. Fast is broken in the evening after sunset, which is called Iftar. According to tradition, breaking Iftar with dates is considered Sunnah.
Importance of Sehri and Iftar
Sehri is the time when food is eaten before Fajr prayers. This is the basis of energy for the whole day. Whereas Iftar is a moment of relief and gratitude after fasting the whole day. It is important for every fasting person to know the exact time, because fasting starts as soon as the time of Sehri ends and it is time for Iftar with sunset. Given below are the fixed timings of Sehri and Iftar from 19 February to 19 March 2026.

Changing times and increasing preparation
As is clear from the time table, every day the Sehri time is getting advanced by a few minutes and the Iftar time is getting advanced a little. This happens due to change in the time of sunrise and sunset. Taraweeh prayers are offered in mosques during Ramadan. People help the needy by giving Zakat and Sadaka. This month also gives the message of equality and brotherhood in the society.
Fasting is the duty of every Muslim
In the religion of Islam, fasting is considered a duty on every adult and healthy Muslim, although sick, pregnant women, elderly and travelers are exempted. With the beginning of Ramadan 2026, an atmosphere of worship, discipline and mercy has been created across the country. Having Sehri and Iftar at the right time is an important condition of fasting, hence it is important to keep this time table in mind.
