Ramadan 2025: Sehri and Iftar timings in Mumbai for the holy month

Mumbai Ramadan 2025 Sehri And Iftar Timings: The holy month of Ramadan or Ramzan 2025 is approaching and is celebrated by Muslims around the world with a lot of joy and fervour.

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims observe Roza (without even drinking water for 30 days). Ramadan is also a time when people break their Roza together to celebrate the festival with their friends, family and loved ones.

Ramadan in 2025 is expected to begin on March 2 and end on March 30. Eid celebrations are likely to start on the evening of March 30th and continue until March 31st (tentative dates).

Muslim community observes fast or Roza from dawn to dusk. Roza has two parts, one is Sehri - the meal that one consumes before daybreak and the second one is known as Iftaar - when people break the Roza - the meal that is eaten after sunset. People make elaborate meals for Iftaar. People also invite their friends and loved ones over for Iftaar and it is quite a grand affair.

At the end of the month of Ramadan, Muslims make some donations to disadvantaged people. These donations have to be made before starting the celebrations for Eid.

Therefore, it is important to keep a check on the time for Sehri and Iftaar. Here, take a look at the Sehri and Iftar timetable during Ramadan for Mumbai:

How Fasting is Observed in Ramadan

During Ramadan, fasting begins before sunrise and ends at sunset. Eating and drinking are not allowed between these times. The day follows the five daily prayers:

- Fajr (Dawn)

- Zhuhr (Midday)

- Asr (Afternoon)

- Maghrib (Evening - time for Iftar)

- Isha (Night)

Each morning, Muslims eat a pre-dawn meal called Sehri, and at sunset, they break their fast with Iftar.

What is Taraweeh Prayer (Namaz)?

Tarawih (also spelt Taraweeh) comes from an Arabic word meaning "rest" or "relaxation." This special prayer is performed in a calm and unhurried way, with short pauses after every four units (rikats) of namaz.

It takes place after the Isha prayer during the holy month of Ramzan and continues until the month ends. A hafiz, someone who has memorised the entire Quran, leads the prayer at night. During Tarawih, the imam recites verses from the Quran while the worshippers stand behind, listening silently. This prayer is usually performed in a mosque, but it can also be done at home or even in a designated space at work.

The Quran contains 114 chapters, around 6,000 verses (some scholars say about 6,236, depending on how the verses are divided), and 77,439 words. Many Muslim children begin memorising the Quran at a young age, and it usually takes between six months to a year to complete. Once someone becomes a hafiz, they regularly recite the Quran, especially during the yearly Tarawih prayers. If a woman is a hafiz, she leads a separate group of female worshippers.

Ramadan is a time for faith, self-discipline, and kindness, bringing communities together in prayer and reflection.
