Ramadan 2024: Here is full month long list of Sehri, Iftar timings in India

The Holy month of Ramadan started India on March 11. The sighting of the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia marks the beginning of Ramadan, which was confirmed by local media. Other countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Brunei have also announced that Ramadan will start on March 12. During this month, Muslims observe a month-long fast where they refrain from food and drink, including water, during daylight hours.

The pre-dawn meal called Sehri is of great cultural and religious significance for Muslims around the world. It is consumed before the dawn prayer or Fajr, which marks the start of the daily fast. Sehri provides essential nutrients and hydration to sustain individuals throughout the day of fasting. The meal typically consists of wholesome foods like grains, proteins, fruits, and fluids to ensure sustained energy levels and hydration. Iftar, the evening meal during Ramadan, is celebrated with prayers and gratitude as it marks the breaking of the day's fast at sunset. It traditionally begins with consuming dates and water. Iftar meals vary in different cultures and include a variety of foods.

Fasting during Ramadan helps to foster self-discipline, spiritual growth, and empathy towards the less fortunate. It strengthens the bond with Allah and deepens faith through increased devotion and worship. Ramadan also encourages acts of charity, kindness, and forgiveness, promoting community cohesion and solidarity. It serves as a time of purification, renewal, and self-improvement, offering believers an opportunity for spiritual rejuvenation and a deeper connection to their faith. Physiologically, intermittent fasting can improve metabolism, aid in weight loss, and regulate blood sugar levels. It fosters a sense of community through shared experiences and communal meals. Moreover, fasting encourages reflection, gratitude, and heightened spiritual awareness. Ultimately, Ramadan fasting contributes to holistic well-being, nurturing both the body and soul.
