The actual start is decided by moon sighting in each country, so it can fall a day earlier or later (±1 day) — Bangladesh, India and Pakistan frequently begin a day after Saudi Arabia.

Sehri ends = start of Fajr; iftar = Maghrib (sunset). Method: Muslim World League. Fridays in gold.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Take suhur, for in suhur there is blessing.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1923, Sahih Muslim 1095). The intention (niyyah) for the fast is made in the heart; no specific wording is required. Begin the meal with “Bismillah” and thank Allah when you finish.
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Dhahaba az-zama’u wabtallatil-‘urūqu wa thabatal-ajru in shā’ Allāh.
“The thirst has gone, the veins are moist, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.” — said by the Prophet ﷺ when breaking the fast (Sunan Abi Dawud 2357).
On the first fast (5 January 2030) sehri ends at 3:52 AM, and on day 30 (3 February 2030) at 4:20 AM. Every day is in the timetable above.
Iftar on the first fast is at 7:05 PM and on the last fast at 6:59 PM (sunset, Maghrib).
In this timetable, sehri ends at the calculated start of Fajr. Some local timetables end sehri a few minutes earlier as a precaution; no margin is added here.
By the Umm al-Qura calendar, Saturday, 5 January 2030. Where moon sighting decides, the start can be a day later (±1 day) — follow your national announcement.
