During Ramzan, Muslims all across the globe fast from sunrise until sunset. The two main meals during the fasting period are Iftar, which is eaten after sunset, and Sehri, which is consumed before sunrise.

The holiest month of Islam, Ramzan, is just around the corner. As the Islamic calendar depends on the cycle of the moon, the month of Ramzan shifts by around 10 days every year. As the Crescent moon was sighted in Saudi Arabia on March 10, Ramzan in India will begin on March 12. The Ramadan 1445 AH crescent moon has been seen in Hyderabad and Lucknow.

During this month, Muslims all across the globe fast from sunrise until sunset. The two main meals during the fasting period are Iftar, which is eaten after sunset, and Sehri, which is consumed before sunrise. The Iftar timings likewise fluctuate every day as they are based on the sunset. The Iftar hours vary significantly in India due to the country’s huge geographic variations. Depending on where you live, the dawn-to-dusk fast might last somewhere from 12 to 17 hours.

The timings for Sehri and Iftar in major Indian cities are given below:

Muslims in the world’s southernmost nations will fast for roughly 12 hours, while those in the world’s northernmost nations will fast for 17 or more hours because the amount of daylight hours differs throughout the world. This year, the average fasting period for Muslims in India will be around 14 hours.

Following a duration of 29 or 30 days, Ramzan is expected to conclude on April 9 and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr is anticipated to begin on April 10, likely with a couple of days’ variability.

It is crucial to remember that fasting on Ramzan means refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and engaging in intimate relations during daylight hours in order to gain the consciousness of God.
