The holy month of Ramzan will begin in Hyderabad on Sunday, as the crescent moon was not seen in the city or nearby areas on Friday night. The Central Ruiyat-e-Hilal Committee announced that Ramzan will start on Saturday night, and the first Roza (fast) will be observed on March 2.
To support Muslim employees during this month, the state government has issued orders allowing them to leave work at 4 PM. This rule applies to government employees, teachers, and outsourcing staff, except in cases where their presence is needed for emergencies.
The first Roza will last for 13 hours and 17 minutes. Sehri (pre-dawn meal) will end at 5:11 AM, and Iftar (breaking the fast) will be at 6:28 PM. Each day, the fasting duration will slowly increase, with the last Roza on March 30 lasting 13 hours and 45 minutes.
This Ramzan will have four Fridays. The last Friday of Ramzan, known as Jummat-ul-Vida, will be on March 28. Another important occasion, the sacred night of Shab-e-Qadr, one of the holiest nights in Islam, will be observed on March 26 (Wednesday).
