Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, alongside the profession of faith, daily prayer, charity, and pilgrimage. Many Muslims also increase their focus on prayer, reading the Quran, and charitable giving throughout the month.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-is-ramadan-2026-in-singapore\"><\/span>When is Ramadan 2026 in Singapore?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of 18 February 2026, with the first full day of fasting on 19 February 2026.

Fasting during Ramadan is seen as a way to grow closer to God, cultivate self\u2011discipline, enhance gratitude, and empathise with those experiencing hardship. It&#8217;s considered a sacred duty for adult Muslims in good health, though there are exemptions for the older folks, pregnant and nursing women, the ill, and travellers. Those who are unable to fast due to valid reasons may make up for it later or provide meals to those in need.<\/p>\n<p>Curious to know more? Our colleague shared his <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/ramadan-fasting-experience-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ramadan fasting experience<\/a>, which included interrupted sleep, checking out Ramadan bazaars across the Causeway, and consuming plenty of eggs and yoghurt for his pre-dawn meals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-does-fasting-work\"><\/span>How does fasting work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_313915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-313915\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-313915 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/ramadan-singapore-breaking-fast-with-dates-mohammadasbad-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Breaking fast with dates | Ramadan in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/ramadan-singapore-breaking-fast-with-dates-mohammadasbad-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/ramadan-singapore-breaking-fast-with-dates-mohammadasbad-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/ramadan-singapore-breaking-fast-with-dates-mohammadasbad-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-313915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Mohammad Ramezani via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each day, Muslims eat a pre\u2011dawn meal (referred to as sahur in Malay) before the fast officially starts at dawn prayer. They then abstain from food and drink until sunset, when the fast is broken with iftar, often starting with water and dates. The timings vary slightly each day throughout Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just about abstaining from food or drinks. The idea of self-restraint from earthly pleasures includes giving up smoking, intimate relations, and refraining from negative behaviours like gossiping and arguing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-support-muslim-friends-during-ramadan\"><\/span>How do you support Muslim friends during Ramadan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way is to be respectful and understanding. Try not to offer them snacks or drinks during the day, and be mindful of your language. We recommend doing just a little research before asking easily Google-able questions. And before you even ask, yes, it\u2019s true: fasting includes going without water.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t see your Muslim friends fasting, try not to probe either. Faith is deeply personal, and it&#8217;s not something everyone&#8217;s comfortable discussing. If you plan to catch up with them this month, schedule dinner meet-ups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-celebrate-ramadan-in-singapore\"><\/span>How to celebrate Ramadan in Singapore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-iftar-with-family-and-friends\"><\/span>1.

Charity and donations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ramadan may be a time of reflection, but just as importantly, it\u2019s a season of generosity. Muslims are reminded to pay zakat (a compulsory form of almsgiving), ensuring that vulnerable members of the community are supported during the holy month. In Singapore, this is facilitated through MUIS, which channels contributions towards eligible beneficiaries such as low-income families, students, and individuals in need.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond zakat, many turn to established charities. Donating early helps ensure assistance reaches recipients in time for the festive period, when expenses can rise. Whether through financial contributions, food donations, or volunteering, acts of charity embody the spirit of compassion that defines Ramadan.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-community-gatherings\"><\/span>6.
