Suhoor starts any time after midnight but must end at the moment of Fajr (dawn) – that is the exact time your daily fast begins each day of Ramadan.

Key point in one line

  • You can eat suhoor up until Fajr time , then you must stop eating and drinking.

How to know your exact suhoor time

Because dawn time changes by date and city , there is no single fixed clock time for “when suhoor starts.” To find it accurately:

  1. Check a local prayer timetable (from your mosque or Islamic centre) and look for the Fajr starting time; suhoor ends exactly then.
  1. Use a trusted prayer-time app or website, with your city/GPS turned on, and again use the Fajr start as the cut‑off.
  1. Many schedules also show an “Imsak” time (a few minutes before Fajr) as a safety buffer; some people stop at Imsak to avoid accidentally eating after Fajr.

In practice, people usually start suhoor roughly 30–90 minutes before Fajr so they have time to eat calmly, pray, and prepare for the day.

Example for 2026 (just to visualize)

Articles giving sample 2026 Ramadan timetables show things like: suhoor ending around 5:30 am and iftar around 6:15–6:20 pm in cities such as Dubai, London, and New Delhi, but these are only examples and vary by location and date.

So the rule of thumb: Suhoor = pre‑dawn meal you eat before Fajr; stop exactly at Fajr time according to your local timetable.
