The Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (meal to break the fast) timings vary across different cities in Pakistan. Below are the expected timings for major cities:
[Sehri and Iftar timings table will be added here]
Observing Ramadan with Devotion
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk, focusing on spiritual purification through prayers, charity, and recitation of the Holy Quran. Sehri is the last meal before fasting begins at dawn, while Iftar marks the end of the fast at sunset. Many families gather to share these meals, and mosques across the country organize community Iftar events.
Ramadan is also a time of increased night prayers, including Taraweeh, which holds great significance. Many people also engage in acts of kindness and charity, following the teachings of Islam.
Official Confirmation of Ramadan Dates
The final confirmation of the start of Ramadan will be given by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which will convene to sight the crescent moon. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecasted that the new moon will be born on February 28, 2025, making it likely that Ramadan will begin on March 2, 2025.
For the most accurate Sehri and Iftar timings, individuals are encouraged to follow their local mosque announcements or Islamic centers. May this Ramadan bring peace, prosperity, and blessings to all those observing it.
