Ramadan 2026: Today’s Sehar and Iftar Timings and Hydration Tips

It is Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and Pakistan is observing the 6th day of Ramadan. While the spiritual rewards are the primary focus, maintaining physical stamina is essential for a productive day of work and worship.

Accurate Timings for Major Hubs

Knowing exactly when to stop eating is the first step to a stress-free day. Here are today’s timings:

• Lahore: Sehar ends at 05:14 AM; Iftar begins at 05:58 PM.
• Karachi: Sehar ends at 05:42 AM; Iftar begins at 06:33 PM.
• Islamabad/Rawalpindi: Sehar ends at 05:19 AM; Iftar begins at 06:01 PM.
• Multan: Sehar ends at 05:21 AM; Iftar begins at 06:08 PM.

The “6th Day Slump”: How to Beat It

By the 6th day, the body has started to burn stored fats for energy. You might feel a slight headache or “brain fog” in the late afternoon. This is often a sign of mild dehydration rather than hunger.

The 8-Glass Rule in Ramadan: Since you cannot drink during the day, try this schedule:

1. 2 glasses at Iftar.
2. 2 glasses between Iftar and Isha.
3. 2 glasses after Taraweeh.
4. 2 glasses during Sehar (sipped slowly, not chugged!).

Nutrition Spotlight: The Power of Suhoor

For today’s Sehar, experts suggest moving away from heavy, oily parathas which can cause lethargy. Instead, try yoghurt (dahi) mixed with some fruit or a small bowl of oatmeal. This provides a “slow-release” of energy that lasts much longer into the afternoon.

A Community Connected

As the Iftar sirens wail across the country today, remember that the 6th fast is a milestone. It marks the transition from the “adjustment phase” to the “devotion phase”. Whether you are breaking your fast with a single date in a busy office or a feast at home, the shared experience remains the heartbeat of Pakistan.
