Frequently asked questions
What does "imsak" mean?
Imsak is the recommended time to stop eating and drinking in preparation for the fast. It is a precaution before the fajr adhan, not an obligation — the fast itself begins at true dawn.
Why is imsak 10 minutes before fajr?
Calendars traditionally set imsak about ten minutes before the fajr adhan as a safety margin so fasting people are not in doubt when dawn actually enters. That is why the table shows separate imsak and fajr columns.
When exactly is iftar?
Iftar is at sunset, which is the maghrib adhan — the last column of the table for every day of Ramadan.
Why do the times differ from my local calendar?
Times depend on the city coordinates and the selected calculation method. Try switching the method to the one officially used in your country; a one- or two-minute difference between methods is normal.
