Ramadan has begun, and the daily routine has already shifted. Alarms are going off before sunrise, kitchens are active while the world sleeps, and evenings are planned around the exact minute of sunset. For people observing roza, the day is not guided by the clock on the wall but by the sehri and iftar time of the city they live in.
The first fast of this year was observed on February 19 after the crescent moon was sighted a day earlier. Since then, timings have started moving slowly every day. Just a minute here, two minutes there. By the end of the week, the difference becomes noticeable.
Here is a look at how the fasting window changes from Friday, February 20, to Thursday, February 26, 2026.
Why timings keep changing daily
Sehri and iftar depend on sunrise and sunset. As days get slightly longer, sehri becomes earlier, and iftar becomes later. The change is small but consistent.
Also, a small variation of a few minutes can exist depending on community practices, such as Sunni and Shia calculations.

Even here, sehri becomes earlier and iftar slightly later as the week progresses.
What this means for the week ahead
The change may feel tiny day to day, but by the end of the week, the fasting duration increases noticeably. This is why most people keep checking daily calendars instead of memorizing timings from day one.
In simple terms, wake up a little earlier every morning and break your fast a little later every evening. That is the rhythm of Ramadan, slowly shifting with the sun throughout the month.
