Significance Of The Fourth Fast
On February 22, 2026, devotees will complete their fourth fast, which in Islamic tradition is described as a “canopy of virtue.” It is believed to serve as a protective shield for those who fast. However, this protection is granted only when the fast is observed strictly in accordance with Shariah guidelines and all prescribed rules are properly followed.
In the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Mursalat (19th Para), verses 41–42, it is stated: “Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs, and fruits from whatever they desire.” This verse emphasizes the rewards awaiting the pious. Therefore, those observing the fast are advised to begin and break it at the prescribed Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (evening meal) times.
Below are the Sehri and Iftar timings for Sunday, February 22, 2026, in different cities:
