The Islamic Foundation has released the Sehri and Iftar schedule for Ramadan 2026. The holy month is likely to begin on February 19, 2026, in Bangladesh.
The Foundation published the timing on its official website. A notice confirmed the date and included a star mark beside February 19. The mark indicates that the start of Ramadan depends on moon sighting.
According to the schedule, the last time for Sehri on the first day will be 5:12 AM. Iftar on the first day of fasting will be at 5:58 PM.
The announcement provides guidance for Muslims across the country to prepare for fasting. Sehri refers to the pre-dawn meal before the fast begins. Iftar is the meal taken after sunset to break the fast.

In Bangladesh, the beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon. Authorities confirm the date after reviewing reports from across the country. If the moon is not sighted on the expected evening, the start date may change.
The Foundation has also published the full Ramadan calendar for 2026. The schedule includes daily Sehri and Iftar times for the entire month. These times may vary slightly depending on location within the country.
Ramadan is observed by Muslims as a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. During this period, adult Muslims fast from dawn to sunset each day.
The official schedule helps individuals, mosques, and institutions plan their daily routines during the holy month. Final confirmation of the starting date will depend on the official moon sighting announcement.
