Here are the timings for the sixth day of fasting (April 30) in major cities of India:
Muslims across the world are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan with dawn-to-dusk fasting. In India, five rozas have passed with April 30, Thursday being the sixth day of Ramadan.
In Ramadan (also spelt as Ramzan), Muslims fast from dusk to dawn. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. The fast begins before the sunrise with a small meal called sehri and is broken with an evening feast called Iftar.
The month of Ramadan, the ninth in the Islamic calendar which follows the lunar cycle, has special significance in the religion as it is believed the Holy Quran was sent down to earth in the month and was revealed to Prophet Mohammad in parts.
The holy Ramadan signifies fasting, charity and spirituality for the Muslim community.
While five-times a day prayers are compulsory for Muslims throughout the year, the month has special Taraweeh prayers which are offered in groups. This year, in the light of social distancing norms and nationwide lockdown over coronavirus, Muslims have been advised not to gather for prayers and feast.
There are fixed timings of sehri and iftar for each day. Sehri timing means that the meal has to be finished before the given time and iftar timing is for breaking the fast.

The fasting will continue throughout the month of Ramadan. In the Islamic calendar, the months are either 29 days or 30, depending upon the sighting of the crescent moon. After 29 or 30 days of fasting, Muslims across the world will celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.
