Ramadan 2026: When Is Ramzan In India? Date, Fasting Rules, And Eid Wishes

Ramadan 2026 in India starts Feb 19 (moon sighting). Learn fasting rules, Sehri/Iftar practices and Eid wishes during this sacred month of Ramzan 2026.

Ramadan 2026 — also known as Ramzan 2026 — is expected to begin in India on February 19, 2026, after the sighting of the crescent moon, though some announcements may mark the first fast as early as February 18 or a day later depending on local moon sighting reports and regional confirmation.

When Does Ramadan 2026 Start and End in India

The Islamic calendar is lunar, so the beginning of Ramadan is confirmed by observing the new crescent moon (Hilal). For Ramadan 2026, most Islamic authorities and astronomical projections indicate that the crescent moon sighted on February 18 will lead to the first day of fasting on February 19, 2026 in India.
The holy month will then last approximately 29–30 days, concluding around March 19 or March 20, 2026, with Eid al-Fitr (the festival marking the end of Ramadan and the first day of Shawwal).

What Is Ramadan 2026

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam — the core practices in the faith. Muslims across India and around the world fast from dawn (Sehri) until sunset (Iftar) each day during this month as an act of worship, self-discipline, devotion, and spiritual reflection.

How Fasting Works During Ramzan 2026

During Ramadan 2026:

• Sehri is the pre-dawn meal before the fast begins.

• Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast after sunset.
  Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and marital intimacy from dawn to sunset as part of their fast.
  Fasting is obligatory for adult Muslims who are physically able. Exemptions are made for the elderly, sick, travelers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with medical conditions, who may make up their missed fasts later.

Spiritual Significance of Ramadan 2026

Ramadan is far more than abstaining from food and drink. It is a time of:

• Increased prayer (Salah and Taraweeh)

• Qur’an recitation and reflection

• Charity (Zakat and acts of kindness)

• Self-restraint, humility, and gratitude
  The final ten nights of Ramadan hold deep spiritual importance, especially Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power), which many believe to fall on the 27th night — a night of immense blessings and divine mercy.

Sehri and Iftar Timings for Ramadan 2026

Sehri and Iftar times vary across India due to geographical differences in sunrise and sunset. Muslims typically use local mosque announcements or Islamic calendars for precise daily timing schedules.

Customs and Practices in India During Ramadan

In India, Muslims observe Ramzan 2026 with both devotional and cultural practices:

• Daily congregational prayers at mosques

• Community iftars and charity meals

• Reading sections of the Qur’an throughout the month

• Families gathering for meals and shared spiritual time
  Cities and states with large Muslim populations often have festive bazaars and social gatherings that reflect both the spiritual essence and communal spirit of Ramadan.

Eid Wishes for Ramadan 2026

As Ramadan 2026 draws to a close, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a day of joy and gratitude. Here are meaningful wishes to share:

• Eid Mubarak! May your fasts and prayers be accepted this Ramadan 2026.

• Wishing you peace, happiness, and blessings on this joyous Eid.

• May the spirit of Ramzan 2026 fill your heart with love and compassion.
