In Pakistan, Ramadan 2026 will begin in mid-February, although it will be pegged to the moon sighting. It is a sacred month during which the Muslims in the country will fast, pray, and do charity. Office timings and Lahore Ramadan timings, here is the whole list that will prepare you for Ramzan 2026.
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, and it has a great spiritual impact on Muslims in the world. During this sacred month, the faithful are fasting during the day from dawn to the evening, where they neither eat nor drink, nor do they turn bad. The fast in Lahore and other cities begins at the sehri time and ends at the iftar time, depending on the local time of the sunset.
Ramadan is not merely the process of starving. It is a time of spiritual purification, more prayer and altruism. Muslims also pray five times a day, and during the night, they have special prayers that are called Taraweeh. This repetition of the Holy Quran is also encouraged during the month. 1st Ramadan in Pakistan will most probably be on the 19th of February.
Ramadan alterations approximately a decade or eleven days prior each year since the Islamic calendar is lunar. This means that Ramzan 2026 will be experiencing colder weather than summer Ramadans in previous years and hence will have an easy time fasting.
The Ashra first, second and third are comprised of 10 days each. Every Ashra is a designated spiritual topic, and hence an Ashra dua is the one that is linked to the particular Ramadan in Pakistan.
| Ashra | Days | Arabic Dua | Transliteration | Meaning |
Ramadan First Ashra Dua – Mercy (Rahmat) | 1 – 10 | رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ | Rabbi ighfir warham wa anta khairur raahimeen | O my Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the Best of the Merciful. |
2nd Ashra Ramadan Dua – Forgiveness (Maghfirat) | 11 – 20 | أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ رَبِّي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ | Astaghfirullah Rabbi min kulli zambin wa atoobu ilaih | I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, from every sin and I repent to Him. |
3rd Ashra ramadan dua – Salvation (Nijat) | 21 – 30 | اَللّٰهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ | Allahumma ajirni minan naar | O Allah, save me from the Hellfire. |
The Lahore Ramadan 2026 calendar provides the prayer schedule and fasting schedule. It comprises the sehri time, iftar time in Lahore and the whole of Ramadan prayer time. The time of Ramadan is what is observed to obtain ground observation. In order to acquire the timing, do not turn to the local mosques and representatives.

Ramadan 2026 in Pakistan is seen as a favored and strategic period of investment in real estate in Lahore. It provides a unique reduction to the customers, reduced resistance, and plans of charges. Eastern Housing is one of the most promising communities in Lahore as it is a modern and well-structured housing society that offers amazing funding opportunities.

The official working hours in Pakistan will be minimized during Ramadan in 2026 (1447 AH) to help in fasting and prayers. Government offices, which have a five-day week, work between 9:00 AM and 3.00 PM Monday through Thursday, but on Fridays work earlier at 12.30 PM. The offices that have a six-day working week are open between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. The hours of operation of the courts in major cities are usually 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on a regular day and 12:30 PM on Friday or Saturday. The same shortened schedules are typically implemented by private organisations and banks, though timings may be different as dictated by internal policies.
