Ramadan Prayer Times & Schedule

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn (Suhoor/Sehri) until sunset (Iftar), refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours.

Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is obligatory for all adult Muslims, with exceptions for those who are ill, traveling, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating.

Tips for a Healthy Ramadan Fast

• • Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water between Iftar and Suhoor
• • Eat balanced meals: Include complex carbohydrates, proteins, and vegetables
• • Avoid excessive caffeine: Can lead to dehydration during the day
• • Rest adequately: Get enough sleep, especially during shorter Ramadan days
• • Moderate exercise: Light exercise after Iftar, avoid intense activity during fasting hours

Islamic Calendar and Moon Sighting

Ramadan dates are based on the Islamic lunar calendar (Hijri calendar), which is approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar. This means Ramadan moves earlier each year by about 11 days.

The exact start of Ramadan is determined by moon sighting (Hilal). Many Muslim communities follow local moon sighting, while others follow announcements from Islamic authorities in Saudi Arabia or other countries.

Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, is celebrated with special prayers, feasting, and community gatherings. The exact date is also determined by moon sighting.
