What Happened As Ramadan 2026 approaches, Muslims in India are preparing for the first day of fasting, which is expected to begin on February 19, 2026. The Sehri (pre-dawn meal) is scheduled for 5:36 AM, while the Iftar (breaking of fast) will take place at 6:15 PM in New Delhi. Similar timings have been reported for other major cities across the country. Why It Matters Ramadan is a significant month for Muslims, marked by fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Accurate timings for Sehri and Iftar are crucial for those observing the fast, as they guide daily routines and religious practices. The start of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, and the first fast is observed the day after the moon is confirmed. What’s Next As the month progresses, Sehri and Iftar timings will gradually shift. For instance, in New Delhi, the Iftar time will change to 6:16 PM the following day, and continue to adjust throughout the month. Communities are encouraged to stay informed about these timings to ensure proper observance of the fast.
