Muslims seek the blessings of Allah and keep obligatory fasting which is known as ‘Roza’ during this month. Obligatory fasting is considered to be one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.

People who observe fasting are allowed to eat only two meals in a day. The first meal of the day is eaten before sunrise. It is known as sehri or suhoor. 

While the last meal of the day is eaten after the sunset and is supposed to end the fast. This meal is known as iftar.

As the timing of sunrise and sunset changes every day, the time of sehri and iftar is also different on every new day. Hence, it is important to keep a check on the Ramadan timings.

Here are the sehri and iftar timings for May 1 and 2

1 May 2022 Sehri: 04:15 AM, Iftar: 06:57 PM

2 May 2022 Sehri: 04:13 AM, Iftar: 06:58 PM
