Ramadan 2026: Significance And Start Date

Observed as the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Ramadan spans 29 to 30 days. It commemorates the revelation of the Quran and emphasises self-discipline, charity, and devotion.

Fasting begins each day before dawn with Sehri (also known as suhur) and concludes at sunset with Iftar, traditionally opened with dates and water. During daylight hours, healthy adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and immoral conduct.

Those who are ill, elderly, travelling, pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating are exempt from fasting.

Beyond fasting, the month is marked by increased recitation of the Quran and the offering of special nightly prayers called Tarawih.

The first Sehri and Iftar on February 19 are expected at 5:36 AM and 6:15 PM, respectively (general reference timing).

Moon Sighting And First Roza

The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. In Saudi Arabia and several Gulf nations, fasting typically begins a day earlier than in India, depending on moon visibility.

Once the moon is sighted, the first Roza is observed the following day, marking the start of a spiritually intense and deeply meaningful month.
