Iftar is at sunset (Maghrib time) , so you break your fast the moment the sun goes down and the Maghrib prayer enters.

Quick Scoop: When is Iftar?

  • Iftar = the daily moment you end your fast in Ramadan at sunset.
  • Practically, it’s the same as the local Maghrib adhan time in your city each day.
  • Because sunset changes slightly every day and depends on where you live, the exact clock time for iftar is different by location and date.

For example, Ramadan timetables list a specific Maghrib/iftar time for each day (like “Maghrib 17:25” for a given city and date), which Muslims use to know when to break their fast.

How to Check “When is Iftar” for You

You can quickly find today’s iftar time for your exact location by:

  1. Using a Ramadan timetable or mosque calendar for your city, which lists daily iftar/Maghrib times.
  1. Using a reliable Muslim prayer-times / Ramadan app or website and allowing location access to get precise sunset time.
  1. Checking a general sunrise–sunset site and using the sunset time as your iftar time (then aligning it with your local Islamic timetable if possible).

If you tell me your city , I can describe what approximate time around the clock iftar usually comes there in Ramadan and how it changes through the month.

Little Context & Practice

  • Spiritually, iftar is a special moment: Muslims often make dua right before and as they break their fast, then pray Maghrib.
  • Communities and charities also organise iftar meals so people can break fast together and support those in need.

A simple way to remember:
Suhoor = pre-dawn meal before Fajr,
Iftar = evening meal at sunset with the Maghrib prayer.
