Significance of Ramadan Day 21
March 11, 2026, marks the 21st day of Ramadan, a month dedicated to fasting, prayer, and reflection for the Muslim community. As the month progresses, the anticipation for Eid ul Fitr grows, with many looking forward to the celebrations that follow the conclusion of Ramadan.
During this period, Muslims partake in Sehri, the pre-dawn meal consumed before the fast begins at sunrise, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast at sunset. In India, Sehri and Iftar timings vary by location, with specific times set for major cities.
Sehri and Iftar Timings
In Delhi NCR, Sehri is observed at 5:17 AM, while Iftar is at 6:27 PM. In Lucknow, Sehri occurs at 5:03 AM, and Iftar is at 6:13 PM. Bengaluru observes Sehri at 5:19 AM and Iftar at 6:30 PM. These timings are crucial for the daily observance of fasting.
Upcoming Events
As Ramadan is expected to last for 30 days in 2026, Eid ul Fitr is likely to fall on March 21 in Pakistan, following the sighting of the Shawwal crescent. The new moon of Shawwal is anticipated to be born on March 19, 2026, marking the end of Ramadan.
The final decision regarding the sighting of the crescent and the commencement of Eid ul Fitr will be made by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. Details remain unconfirmed, leaving many in anticipation of the official announcements.
As Ramadan Day 21 unfolds, the atmosphere is filled with devotion and community spirit, as families and friends gather for Iftar meals, sharing the blessings of the month.
