What Happened
As Muslims around the world observe Ramadan, the holy month dedicated to fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection, the significance of accurate Sehri timings becomes increasingly important. The month commenced with the sighting of the crescent moon, marking a time of devotion and community.
Why It Matters
Sehri, the pre-dawn meal, is crucial for maintaining the fast from dawn to dusk. Accurate timings for Sehri and Iftar (the meal to break the fast) are essential for spiritual observance. Variations in Sehri timings across different cities, such as 5:33 AM in New Delhi and 5:18 AM in Lucknow, highlight the need for localized schedules to ensure that devotees can observe their fast correctly.
What’s Next
As Ramadan progresses, it is vital for worshippers to stay informed about the daily Sehri and Iftar timings. On February 24, 2026, the Sehri times will vary by city, with New Delhi at 5:33 AM and Chennai at 5:17 AM. These schedules not only guide fasting practices but also facilitate the performance of special prayers, including Taraweeh.
