Today, [local_date] Sehri time is 05:03 AM in Bangladesh according to [hijri_date] in the Islamic calendar. Muslims across Bangladesh will begin their fasting journey from March 2, 2025, marking the start of the holy month of Ramadan. Sehri, also known as Suhoor in Arabic, is the pre-dawn meal Muslims consume before beginning their daily fast. This essential meal is taken during the period before Fajr prayer when eating and drinking are still permissible. It serves as your spiritual and physical preparation for the day-long fast ahead.
Why is Sehri time so important? Taking Sehri is a Sunnah (practice) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who advised his followers to take this meal for its blessings. Beyond the spiritual significance, Sehri provides the necessary nutrition and hydration to sustain you throughout your fasting day.
The Ramadan calendar follows the moon’s cycle, as the Islamic (Hijri) calendar follows the lunar cycle. This explains why Ramadan shifts approximately 10-11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. This lunar dependency also explains why Sehri and Iftar times vary across different regions of Bangladesh – the sunrise and sunset times differ based on geographical location.
