As the holy month of Ramadan progresses, millions of Muslims across India continue their spiritual journey of fasting, prayer, and reflection. Central to Ramzan fasting are two daily milestones: Sehri, the pre-dawn meal consumed before the first light of day to prepare for the fast, and Iftar, the evening meal taken exactly at sunset to break the day's fast.

The Significance of Precise Timings

In Islamic tradition, the fast is a rigorous practice of self-discipline. It requires abstaining from all food and water from the moment of Fajr (dawn) until Maghrib (sunset). Because the duration of daylight increases as spring approaches, the "fasting window" typically stretches slightly longer each day.

Observing the exact minute for Iftar is considered an act of sunnah (prophetic tradition), often beginning with the consumption of dates and water. Likewise, finishing Sehri before the call to prayer for Fajr is essential to ensure the validity of the fast. Ramadan 2026 Guide: Full List of What Breaks Your Fast and What Doesn't.

Spiritual Practices and Community

Beyond the physical act of fasting, Ramadan is a time for increased charity (Zakat) and communal prayers known as Taraweeh, held every night at mosques. This year, the "Winter Ramadan" has provided relatively milder temperatures across much of North and Central India, though coastal cities like Mumbai and Chennai continue to manage the humidity typical of the region.
