Sehri Time Today: Ramadan 2025 Observances
The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, and the official start of Ramadan is confirmed by Islamic scholars and religious authorities based on moon sighting reports, with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Gulf Countries starting on March 2, 2025, and Pakistan and Bangladesh starting on March 3, 2025.
The 27th fast of Ramadan, observed on March 28, 2025, holds special spiritual significance, and Muslims across Pakistan and India are observing fasts from Sehri before dawn to Iftar at sunset, with fasting hours varying across cities due to geographical differences.
In Pakistan, Sehri and Iftar timings for major cities are: Islamabad/Rawalpindi: Sehri 4:37 AM, Iftar 6:26 PM, Lahore: Sehri 4:34 AM, Iftar 6:20 PM, and Karachi: Sehri 5:11 AM, Iftar 6:47 PM. Religious authorities and local mosques provide updated schedules to ensure accuracy. The exact start date of Ramadan may vary depending on moon sighting confirmations in different regions.
In India, the 27th fast of Ramadan coincides with the last Friday of Ramadan, also known as Alvida Jumu'ah, and is observed with special prayers. Fasting on this day and offering Friday prayers make worshippers eligible for double spiritual rewards. Iftar timings vary by city, with Delhi at 06:39 PM, Mumbai at 06:52 PM, and Kolkata at 05:51 PM.
Ramadan 2025 is a time for self-discipline, spiritual growth, and community bonding, and will end with Eid-ul-Fitr, a grand celebration marking the completion of fasting, expected to be on April 1, 2025.
