During this holy period, devotees observe fasts from dawn to dusk, and spend their time by reflecting and praying to Allah. During Ramadan fasts, Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and other sinful behaviours. They break their fast in the evening with a meal called Iftar-- which traditionally begins with dates and water, and it is followed by a larger meal with family and friends. Meanwhile, the pre-dawn meal before fasting begins each day is called Suhoor.<br/>Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam-- this makes it an important part of one's worship. It is seen as a way to develop self-discipline, gratitude, and empathy for those who are less fortunate. However, those who are ill, too young or old, pregnant or nursing women, or travelers are exempt from fasting during Ramadan.<br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Ramadan" msid="118579853" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579853,width-600,resizemode-4/118579853.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/>Ramadan, also called as Ramzan/Ramzaan/Ramazan, is not only about fasting but it is also a time to pray and get closer to Allah. This holy month is also a time for increased spiritual devotion as Muslims engage in prayer during this time. Many also read the Quran more frequently, and aim to complete it by the end of the month. Acts of charity and kindness, known as Zakat and Sadaqah, are also emphasised during this time, thus reinforcing the spirit of giving.<br/><div data-type="in_view" class=" "><div class="js_tbl_2ad"></div><div class="mgid_second_mrec_parent"><div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-118579841" class="wdt-taboola" data-target_type="mix" data-mode="thumbnails-mid" data-placement="Mid Article Thumbnails 1" data-pagetype="article" style="max-height:415px;overflow:hidden" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div></div>The month of Ramadan ends with Eid-ul-Fitr's grand celebration. It marks the end of the fasting period, and is a time to celebrate with loved ones.<br/><div class="cdatainfo modify_cdata_list_style id-r-component " data-pos="11"><h2>Ramadan 2025: Dates, Sehri, Iftar timings</h2></div><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Ramadan" msid="118579865" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579865,width-600,resizemode-4/118579865.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/>The eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, called Shaban, began on Friday, January 31, 2025. And so, as per traditions, the crescent moon which marks the beginning of Ramadan is generally expected to be seen on the 29th day of Shaban-- this year it will fall on February 28 (Friday). And so, if the Moon is visible, Ramadan is expected to begin on March 1, 2025 in many countries.<br/>However, if the Moon is not visible in many locations, then Shaban will be extended by one more day, thus pushing the start of Ramadan to March 2, 2025, as per some scholars and experts.<br/>As per reports, in 2025 a rare moment will be observed by the Muslim community globally. It is being said that Muslims in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan will observe the crescent moon on the same day as those in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and other Arab countries as the month of Shabaan started on the same day for all these countries this year.<br/>The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, along with moon sighting committees in the UAE, Qatar, India, Pakistan, and other countries, has called on Muslims to observe the sky for the crescent moon of Ramadan on the evening of Friday, February 28, 2025. This date aligns with the 29th of Shabaan 1446 AH in the Islamic calendar.<br/>If the crescent moon is sighted that evening, Taraweeh prayers will commence the same night, and the first fast of Ramadan will be observed on Saturday, March 1, 2025. However, if the moon remains unseen after Maghrib (the evening prayer), the holy month will begin a day later on March 2, 2025.<br/><div class="cdatainfo modify_cdata_list_style id-r-component " data-pos="25"><h2>Here's the dates, sehri, iftar timings for some major Indian cities</h2></div>:<br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Delhi" msid="118579919" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579919,width-600,resizemode-4/118579919.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Kolkata" msid="118579929" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579929,width-600,resizemode-4/118579929.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Ahmedabad" msid="118579939" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579939,width-600,resizemode-4/118579939.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Chennai" msid="118579952" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579952,width-600,resizemode-4/118579952.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Hyderabad" msid="118579960" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579960,width-600,resizemode-4/118579960.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="Mumbai" msid="118579965" width="600" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/imgsize-23456,msid-118579965,width-600,resizemode-4/118579965.jpg" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div><br/><div class="cdatainfo modify_cdata_list_style id-r-component " data-pos="40"><h4><br/></h4></div><br/><div class="cdatainfo modify_cdata_list_style id-r-component " data-pos="42"><h2>Ramadan fasting dos and don'ts</h2></div>Here are five essential dos and don’ts to observe during Ramadan fasting:<br/><span class="strong" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)">5 dos of Ramadan fasting</span><br/>1. Eat a nutritious Sehri (pre-dawn meal)-- this will provide the necessary energy to sustain you throughout the day.<br/>2. Break your fast with dates and water: Following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is recommended to break the fast with dates and water. Dates provide a quick energy boost, while water helps with rehydration. After that, eat a well-balanced Iftar meal.<br/>3. Engage in extra prayers and recite the Quran: Ramadan is a time for increased worship. Engage in additional prayers like Taraweeh, make dua (supplications), and try to complete reading the Quran during the month.<br/>4. Be charitable and help others: Ramadan encourages generosity. Giving Zakat (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) helps those in need and increases blessings. You can also provide Iftar meals to the less fortunate.<br/>5. Stay patient: Fasting is not just about abstaining from food and drink but also about controlling one's emotions. Avoid arguments, remain calm, and practice patience. Kindness and good manners are an essential part of fasting.<br/><span class="strong" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)">5 don’ts of Ramadan fasting</span><br/>1. Don’t skip Sehri as it can make fasting difficult for you by making you feel weak and dehydrated. Even if you don’t feel hungry, eat something light and drink plenty of water to sustain your energy.<br/>2. Don’t overeat at Iftar: Overindulging in heavy, oily, or sugary foods after breaking your fast can cause bloating, discomfort, and sluggishness. Eat in moderation and choose nutrient-rich foods.<br/>3. Don’t waste time on unproductive activities: Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection and self-improvement. Avoid excessive time on social media, TV, or unnecessary distractions.<br/>4. Don’t use harsh language: Avoid gossip, lying, arguing, or using offensive language, as these actions can diminish the spiritual rewards of fasting.<br/>5. Don’t delay Maghrib and Taraweeh prayers: Once it’s time to break the fast, perform Maghrib prayer without unnecessary delay. Also, try not to miss Taraweeh prayers, as they hold great spiritual significance during Ramadan.<br/>See more: <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/events/ramadan-2025-date-saudi-arabia-india-uae-pakistan-world-timings/articleshow/118578428.cms" styleObj="[object Object]" class="" commonState="[object Object]" frmappuse="1">Ramadan 2025 Date: Saudi Arabia, India, UAE, Pakistan & World Timings</a></div><div class="js_tbl_readmore_btn" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div><div class="authorComment js_tblreadmore_hide"><div class="OtxlN" id="auhtor_widget"><div class="f2VrG"><div class="Mn6kH"><div data-pos="0" class="id-r-component QbQNS undefined "><div><img alt="author" msid="" width="" title="" placeholdersrc="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" imgsize="23456" resizemode="4" offsetvertical="0" placeholdermsid="" type="thumb" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/83033472.cms" class="" data-src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/63379366.cms" data-api-prerender="true"/></div></div></div><div class="kgcOp"><div><h5>About the Author</h5><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-TOI-Lifestyle-Desk-479263437.cms" class="mMwSH" commonState="[object Object]" frmappuse="1">TOI Lifestyle Desk</a></div></div></div><div id="author_desc" class="GE1a7 oJgW0 "><p>The TOI Lifestyle Desk is a dynamic team of dedicated journalists who, with unwavering passion and commitment, sift through the pulse of the nation to curate a vibrant tapestry of lifestyle news for The Times of India readers.

During this holy period, devotees observe fasts from dawn to dusk, and spend their time by reflecting and praying to Allah. During Ramadan fasts, Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and other sinful behaviours. They break their fast in the evening with a meal called Iftar-- which traditionally begins with dates and water, and it is followed by a larger meal with family and friends. Meanwhile, the pre-dawn meal before fasting begins each day is called Suhoor.Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam-- this makes it an important part of one's worship. It is seen as a way to develop self-discipline, gratitude, and empathy for those who are less fortunate. However, those who are ill, too young or old, pregnant or nursing women, or travelers are exempt from fasting during Ramadan. 118579853Ramadan, also called as Ramzan/Ramzaan/Ramazan, is not only about fasting but it is also a time to pray and get closer to Allah. This holy month is also a time for increased spiritual devotion as Muslims engage in prayer during this time. Many also read the Quran more frequently, and aim to complete it by the end of the month. Acts of charity and kindness, known as Zakat and Sadaqah, are also emphasised during this time, thus reinforcing the spirit of giving.The month of Ramadan ends with Eid-ul-Fitr's grand celebration. It marks the end of the fasting period, and is a time to celebrate with loved ones.Ramadan 2025: Dates, Sehri, Iftar timings 118579865The eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, called Shaban, began on Friday, January 31, 2025. And so, as per traditions, the crescent moon which marks the beginning of Ramadan is generally expected to be seen on the 29th day of Shaban-- this year it will fall on February 28 (Friday). And so, if the Moon is visible, Ramadan is expected to begin on March 1, 2025 in many countries.However, if the Moon is not visible in many locations, then Shaban will be extended by one more day, thus pushing the start of Ramadan to March 2, 2025, as per some scholars and experts.As per reports, in 2025 a rare moment will be observed by the Muslim community globally. It is being said that Muslims in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan will observe the crescent moon on the same day as those in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and other Arab countries as the month of Shabaan started on the same day for all these countries this year.The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, along with moon sighting committees in the UAE, Qatar, India, Pakistan, and other countries, has called on Muslims to observe the sky for the crescent moon of Ramadan on the evening of Friday, February 28, 2025. This date aligns with the 29th of Shabaan 1446 AH in the Islamic calendar.If the crescent moon is sighted that evening, Taraweeh prayers will commence the same night, and the first fast of Ramadan will be observed on Saturday, March 1, 2025. However, if the moon remains unseen after Maghrib (the evening prayer), the holy month will begin a day later on March 2, 2025.Here's the dates, sehri, iftar timings for some major Indian cities: 118579919 118579929 118579939 118579952 118579960 118579965Ramadan fasting dos and don'tsHere are five essential dos and don’ts to observe during Ramadan fasting:5 dos of Ramadan fasting1. Eat a nutritious Sehri (pre-dawn meal)-- this will provide the necessary energy to sustain you throughout the day.2. Break your fast with dates and water: Following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is recommended to break the fast with dates and water. Dates provide a quick energy boost, while water helps with rehydration. After that, eat a well-balanced Iftar meal.3. Engage in extra prayers and recite the Quran: Ramadan is a time for increased worship. Engage in additional prayers like Taraweeh, make dua (supplications), and try to complete reading the Quran during the month.4. Be charitable and help others: Ramadan encourages generosity. Giving Zakat (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) helps those in need and increases blessings. You can also provide Iftar meals to the less fortunate.5. Stay patient: Fasting is not just about abstaining from food and drink but also about controlling one's emotions. Avoid arguments, remain calm, and practice patience. Kindness and good manners are an essential part of fasting.5 don’ts of Ramadan fasting1. Don’t skip Sehri as it can make fasting difficult for you by making you feel weak and dehydrated. Even if you don’t feel hungry, eat something light and drink plenty of water to sustain your energy.2. Don’t overeat at Iftar: Overindulging in heavy, oily, or sugary foods after breaking your fast can cause bloating, discomfort, and sluggishness. Eat in moderation and choose nutrient-rich foods.3. Don’t waste time on unproductive activities: Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection and self-improvement. Avoid excessive time on social media, TV, or unnecessary distractions.4. Don’t use harsh language: Avoid gossip, lying, arguing, or using offensive language, as these actions can diminish the spiritual rewards of fasting.5. Don’t delay Maghrib and Taraweeh prayers: Once it’s time to break the fast, perform Maghrib prayer without unnecessary delay. Also, try not to miss Taraweeh prayers, as they hold great spiritual significance during Ramadan.See more: Ramadan 2025 Date: Saudi Arabia, India, UAE, Pakistan & World Timings","@type":"NewsArticle","mainEntityOfPage":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/events/ramadan-2025-dates-sehri-iftar-timings-fasting-dos-and-donts-everything-you-need-to-know/articleshow/118579841.cms","inLanguage":"en","headline":"Ramadan 2025: Dates, Sehri, Iftar timings, fasting dos and don'ts– everything you need to know","keywords":"when is Ramadan,Sehri and Iftar timings 2025,Ramadan in India and Pakistan,Ramadan fasting rules,Ramadan charity acts,Ramadan 2025 dates,Importance of Ramadan in Islam,How to observe Ramadan,Eid-ul-Fitr 2025","url":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/events/ramadan-2025-dates-sehri-iftar-timings-fasting-dos-and-donts-everything-you-need-to-know/articleshow/118579841.cms","datePublished":"2025-02-26T17:35:00+05:30","dateModified":"2025-02-26T17:35:00+05:30","description":"Ramadan is set to begin on March 1, 2025, if the crescent moon is sighted on February 28, or on March 2 if not.
