What Happened
Muslims around the world are currently observing Ramadan, a sacred month dedicated to fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. The holy month began with the sighting of the crescent moon, marking a significant event in the Islamic calendar. On February 24, 2026, which is the sixth day of fasting, specific Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (meal to break the fast) timings have been established across various cities in India.
Why It Matters
Understanding the Sehri time today is crucial for millions of Muslims as it guides their daily fasting practices. The timetable not only helps in maintaining the sacred fast but also ensures that prayers, including the special Taraweeh prayers, are performed punctually. Accurate timing fosters a sense of community and shared experience among worshippers, reinforcing the values of self-discipline, generosity, and spiritual growth that Ramadan embodies.
