Understanding Sehri

Sehri is the pre-dawn meal consumed before the fast begins at sunrise. It holds significant importance in the daily routine during Ramadan, providing the necessary sustenance and energy to observe the fast from dawn until sunset. A typical Sehri meal includes foods rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins, fruits, and ample fluids to maintain hydration throughout the day. Common dishes include parathas, eggs, yogurt, fruits, and beverages like water or fruit juice, and coconut water.

Beyond its nutritional value, Sehri serves as a time for spiritual reflection and community bonding. Families often gather before dawn to share this meal, engage in prayers, and set a positive tone for the day ahead. This practice reinforces the communal spirit and devotion characteristic of Ramadan.

Please note that these timings are based on standard calculations and may vary slightly depending on your specific location within each city. It's advisable to verify timings with local mosques or trusted sources for the most accurate information.
