Sehri and iftar timings are essential to be noted by practicing Muslims during the month of Ramadan. Since they are religiously duty-bound to fast from dawn to dusk, it is necessitated to note the exact timing when the abeyance from food and water should begin, and when it should end.

Before checking the timings, the reader should be informed that iftar - or the fast breaking time - begins two minutes after sunset. A person can determine the time of iftar by checking the daily sunset time. The period when iftar begins also marks the starting time of Maghrib prayers.

Similarly, the sehri period ends 10 minutes before the start of Fajr prayers. A person can check the local Fajr starting time through the calendar or internet, and begin his fast from 10 minutes preceding the start of Fajr.
