Delhi Iftar Time: When To Break Your Ramadan Fast Today (Feb 19)? Check Iftar Timings For Delhi-NCR And Other Cities Here

Delhi Iftar Time Today: The holy month of Ramadan (Ramzan) began yesterday, with Muslims across the country observing the first fast today. While the crescent Moon for the Ramzan month was sighted on February 18 in India, the fasting began from today (February 19). Ramzan, the ninth month of the lunar calendar (Hijri Calendar), is the holiest month for Muslims globally, as it was in this month that the holy book, the Quran, was revealed upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Ramadan is regarded as a time of deep spiritual reflection, compassion, and self-discipline. During this sacred period, Muslims observe daily fasts from dawn to dusk, devote themselves to prayer and worship, and place special emphasis on charity and helping those in need. Acts of kindness and generosity are encouraged as Muslims believe that good deeds performed during Ramadan carry multiplied rewards.

Iftar Time Today Delhi:

During Ramzan, Muslims observe a day-long fast. The fast began with Sehri (Suhoor), which is the pre-dawn meal eaten before the Fajr (dawn) prayer to prepare for the day-long fast. Muslims end their fast at the time of sunset with Iftar, traditionally beginning the meal with dates and water. In India this year, the daily fast during Ramadan will last for roughly 13 hours, beginning at around 5:30-45 am and continuing until approximately 6:15-30 pm. The time may vary depending on the location.

Delhi Sehri & Iftar Time Table

While the sehri (pre-dawn meal) and iftar (sunset meal) timings are generally uniform across Delhi-NCR, minor variations of one to two minutes may occur in some cities due to geographical differences and slight changes in local sunrise and sunset times. Worshippers are therefore advised to follow locally announced prayer schedules or mosque timetables for precise timing.

Ramadan 2026: Importance

I personally believe that Ramadan brings with it a sense of peace, reflection, and renewed faith. It is a time to strengthen one's connection with Allah (God), practice patience and self-discipline, and extend kindness to those in need. Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food and drink; it is about purifying the heart and fostering unity.

"The arrival of Ramadan marks a spiritually uplifting time for Muslims. It ushers in a month devoted to fasting, prayer, and reflection, encouraging believers to practice patience, humility, and compassion," Zubair, a resident of Delhi's Okhla, told The Daily Jagran.

"With the beginning of Ramadan, an atmosphere of devotion and togetherness fills homes and communities. The holy month serves as a reminder to slow down, seek forgiveness, and deepen one's relationship with the Almighty. Through fasting, increased worship, and acts of charity, Muslims embrace the spirit of empathy and gratitude that lies at the heart of Ramadan," Okhla resident Atif told The Daily Jagran.
