Ramadan 2026: Muslims in India will observe the 18th Roza on March 8. Check the iftar timings for major cities and important tips for fasting during the holy month.
The holy month of Ramadan has now reached the final phase of its second Ashra, known as the Ashra of Maghfirat (forgiveness). On Sunday, March 8, 2026, Muslims across India will observe the 18th fast (Roza) of Ramadan. According to Islamic teachings, the eighteenth fast symbolizes devotion, self-discipline, and piety.
The importance of faith and good deeds during this sacred month is also highlighted in the 23rd verse of Surah Hud in the Quran, which states that those who believe, perform righteous deeds, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the dwellers of Paradise. This verse emphasizes the spiritual significance of fasting and righteous conduct during Ramadan.
Ramadan encourages believers to practice patience, charity, and kindness. Observing the fast during this holy month is considered obligatory for every adult Muslim. From the beginning of Ramadan until its last day, devotees maintain their fast by observing Sehri before dawn and Iftar at sunset. However, a fast is considered complete only when Sehri and Iftar are observed at the correct times. Therefore, devotees should be aware of the Iftar timings in major Indian cities for March 8, 2026.
