Ramadan 2026 Sehri & Iftar Times for All Divisions and Districts

For instance, residents in Sylhet will break their fast several minutes earlier than those in Rajshahi. To help you navigate these differences, we have categorized the schedule by all eight administrative divisions.

For a specific district-level timetable, simply navigate to your respective division heading below.

District-Wise Time Adjustments

Bangladesh’s geographical width causes sunrise and sunset times to vary across the country. If you are outside Dhaka, please apply the following logic to the table above:

• Subtract Minutes: For districts in Chittagong, Sylhet, and Barisal divisions, Sehri and Iftar times occur earlier than in Dhaka.
• Add Minutes: For districts in Rajshahi, Khulna, and Rangpur divisions, Sehri and Iftar times occur later than in Dhaka.

Example: If you are in Narayanganj or Munshiganj, the difference may only be 1-2 minutes. However, for farther districts like Sylhet or Rajshahi, the difference can be up to 5-10 minutes.

Important Duas for Ramadan (with Meaning)

Intentions (Niyat) are the foundation of fasting. Here are the correct Arabic pronunciations and meanings.

Sehri Dua (Intention for Fasting)

Pronunciation: Nawaitu an asuma ghadam min shahri Ramadan al-mubaraki fardallaka ya Allahu fatakabbal minni innaka antas samiul alim. Meaning: “O Allah! I intend to keep the obligatory fast for tomorrow in the blessed month of Ramadan. Please accept it from me; surely, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

Iftar Dua (Breaking the Fast)

Pronunciation: Allahumma laka sumtu wa ala rizqika aftartu. Meaning: “O Allah! I fasted for Your sake and I am breaking my fast with the sustenance provided by You.”

Essential Tips for a Healthy Ramadan 2026

1. Hydration is Key: Since Ramadan falls in February/March this year, the weather will be transitioning. Drink plenty of water between Iftar and Sehri to avoid dehydration.
2. Balanced Sehri: Avoid overly spicy or salty foods during Sehri to prevent thirst during the day. Opt for complex carbohydrates and fiber.
3. Charity (Zakat & Fitra): Use this month to support the underprivileged. Calculate your Zakat and ensure Fitra is paid before Eid prayer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the calendar confirmed by the Islamic Foundation? A: This calendar is based on astronomical data and the preliminary schedule. The final start date depends strictly on the moon sighting on Feb 18th.

Q: When is the Fajr Azan time? A: The “Sehri Last Time” marks the beginning of Subah Sadiq. Fajr Azan usually happens immediately after this time.

Q: What if I eat a few minutes after the Sehri time ends? A: If it was unintentional, seek forgiveness from Allah. However, one must be extremely cautious. It is best to stop eating 5 minutes before the cut-off time to be safe.
