Sehri Time for Today (March 18): During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world fast from dawn until dusk for a month, a time marked by devotion, prayer, and compassion. The fasting, also known as roza in Urdu, begins with Sehri, also known as Suhoor, and ends with Iftar at sunset. Ramadan, also popularly known as Ramzan, is the most sacred time of the Islamic calendar.
Ramadan falls in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, a time to reflect on the revelation of the Qur'an. It's a month of self-discipline, gratitude, and spiritual growth. The start of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the crescent moon, usually first observed in the Gulf countries. This signals the beginning of the holy month, which then starts a day later in places like India and neighbouring regions.
As sunrise and sunset times shift slightly each day, it's important for those fasting to check the updated Sehri and Iftar timings to ensure they observe the fast accurately.
Here are the timings for various cities in India on March 18.
