When is Ramadan 2026 in India?
Ramadan follows the Islamic Lunar Calendar, which consists of 12 months based on moon cycles. The holy month begins after the sighting of the crescent moon on the 29th day of Shaaban. In 2026, Ramadan is expected to start on February 19 in India. The month concludes with the arrival of Shawwal, marking the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr.
Significance of Ramadan 2026
Ramadan is considered the most sacred month in Islam. During this period, Muslims dedicate themselves to prayer, fasting, charity, and spiritual reflection. Offering Namaz five times a day, practicing self-control, and avoiding harmful habits are central to the observance.
Fasting during Ramadan is believed to strengthen physical endurance, mental discipline, and spiritual growth. It also teaches gratitude, patience, and compassion for those in need.
What is Roza?
Roza refers to fasting from dawn to sunset. During this time, Muslims abstain from food, water, and other physical needs. Despite challenges such as heat and long hours, fasting is observed with sincerity and faith.
What is Sehri?
Sehri (also called Suhoor) is the pre-dawn meal consumed before the fast begins. People wake up early to eat and drink, ensuring they have enough energy to sustain the day-long fast. Eating a balanced meal during Sehri is important for maintaining stamina.
What is Iftar?
Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims break their fast at sunset. Families gather to share food and offer prayers together. Traditionally, the fast is opened with dates and water, followed by a proper meal.
