Understanding the Daily Timing Changes
As the days progress, Sehri time becomes slightly earlier while Iftari time becomes slightly later. This gradual shift happens because sunrise occurs earlier and sunset later as the season transitions toward spring.
The difference each day may be only one or two minutes, but following the correct timing is important. The fast officially begins at Fajr and ends exactly at Maghrib.
Importance of Roza Timing
Fasting requires discipline and precision. Eating or drinking after Fajr invalidates the fast. Similarly, breaking the fast before sunset is not permitted.
Most families rely on official mosque calendars, Islamic authorities, or trusted prayer apps for daily confirmation. It is advisable to stop eating a few minutes before Sehri ends to remain on the safe side.
Spiritual meaning behind the Schedule
The roza time table is more than a daily routine. It structures life around prayer and remembrance. Waking up before dawn develops self-control. Waiting patiently until sunset builds endurance and gratitude.
Each Sehri begins with intention. Each Iftar ends the day with thanks. Through this rhythm, Ramadan becomes a month of inner discipline and spiritual renewal.
Ramadan 2026 offers a fresh opportunity for reflection, patience, and devotion. Following the correct Sehri and Iftari time table ensures that each fast is observed properly.
Always confirm timings with your local mosque or official prayer authority, as slight regional variations may occur.
