Chennai, March 17: As the holy month of Ramadan 2026 progresses towards its final days, Muslims across India will observe the 28th Roza on Wednesday, March 18, with deep devotion, fasting and prayer. The daily fast, known as Sawm, begins before dawn with Sehri and ends at sunset with Iftar, making these two timings crucial for every fasting individual.
Sehri, the pre-dawn meal, must be completed before the Fajr prayer and is considered spiritually rewarding as well as essential for sustaining energy throughout the day. Iftar, on the other hand, marks the breaking of the fast at Maghrib (sunset) and is traditionally started with dates and water, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad.
