Why do calculation methods differ?

Because different Islamic juristic and astronomical authorities use different solar elevation angles to define exactly when Fajr (true dawn) and Isha (true night) begin. Umm al-Qura (used in Saudi Arabia) uses 18.5° below horizon for Fajr; Muslim World League uses 18°; ISNA (used in North America) uses 15°; the Karachi method (used across South Asia) uses 18°. The practical differences land between 5 and 15 minutes. The right answer is whichever method your local mosque and community follows — don't switch unilaterally.

Hanafi vs Standard for Asr time?

Hanafi method calculates Asr when an object's shadow equals 2× its length (later in the afternoon). The Standard method (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) uses 1× shadow length (earlier). The difference can be 30 to 90 minutes depending on season and latitude. Important: this only affects the timing of the Asr prayer itself — it does NOT affect Sehri or Iftar timing at all. So fast-related questions don't change based on Asr methodology.

Are these times accurate to the minute?

Times are rounded to the minute and accurate within ±2 minutes for most locations. Real-world local factors can shift the actual visible sunrise/sunset by a few minutes — tall buildings on the eastern or western horizon, mountains, even thick fog. For exact moment-of-Maghrib precision (when you actually break your fast), follow your nearest mosque's azan, which accounts for local geography. The calculator gives you the planning baseline; the mosque gives you the lived moment.

Can I print this schedule?

Yes — the Print button generates a clean A4-friendly black-and-white version, perfect for pinning on the fridge, distributing in the mosque, or laminating for the dining table. The print view strips out navigation and includes a header with city, calculation method, and Hijri year. Plenty of Pakistani families print one for the kitchen wall every Ramadan — it's lower-friction than checking your phone at Sehri time when you're half-asleep.

What if Ramadan starts a day later than this calendar?

This happens regularly. Local moon-sighting committees — Ruet-e-Hilal in Pakistan, the Supreme Court in Saudi Arabia, similar bodies elsewhere — may declare 1 Ramadan a day later or earlier than the Umm al-Qura tabular calendar this calculator uses. The fix is simple: the times themselves stay accurate; just shift the day labels by one. If your community starts a day later, use day 1 from tomorrow's date onwards. The Sehri and Iftar timings don't change with the day shift.

Does this work for non-Pakistani cities?

Yes, fully worldwide. The Aladhan API covers any latitude and longitude. The country selector also auto-suggests the regionally appropriate calculation method — Karachi method for Pakistan, Umm al-Qura for Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf, ISNA for North America, MWL for Europe and as a global default. Diaspora Pakistanis in London, Toronto, Dubai, Sydney — all covered with the right method pre-selected.

What's the Sunnah for Sehri and Iftar?

Two clear narrations. For Sehri: delay it until close to Fajr — the Prophet ﷺ used to delay it to roughly the time it takes to recite 50 verses of Quran before Fajr (Bukhari 1921). For Iftar: hasten it. Break the fast immediately at Maghrib with dates and water, then pray Maghrib. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'People will continue to be on the right path as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast' (Bukhari 1957, Muslim 1098). So late Sehri, early Iftar — that's the Sunnah pattern.

Calculation method

Hijri year (AH)

Ramadan 1447 AH ≈ Feb-Mar 2026.

For accurate local timing: moon-sighting committees in your country may declare the start of Ramadan one day earlier or later than the Aladhan calendar prediction (which uses astronomical calculation). Always verify with your local mosque or Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. Times shift by ~1 minute per day across the month — print this once and refer to it daily.

Quick Answer

Generate a printable 30-day Ramadan calendar with Sehri (Imsak), Fajr, Sunrise, Iftar (Maghrib), and Isha times for any city worldwide.

Overview — Sehri & Iftar Ramadan Schedule

Islamic

The Sehri & Iftar Ramadan Schedule generates a complete 30-day printable calendar for the holy month of Ramadan, showing Sehri (Imsak / pre-dawn meal end time), Fajr (start of fasting), Sunrise, Iftar (Maghrib / fast-breaking time), and Isha for any city worldwide. It uses the official Aladhan API (which sources data from major calculation authorities like Muslim World League, ISNA, Egyptian General Authority, Umm al-Qura Makkah, and University of Karachi) and supports the standard Islamic juristic methods including Hanafi (Asr at 2× shadow length) and Standard / Shafi'i (1× shadow length). The calendar is print-ready: hit Print and you get a clean A4-friendly version ideal for pinning on the fridge, distributing in the mosque, or laminating for the dining table.

Formula

Sehri (Imsak) ≈ Fajr − 10 minutes (varies by method). Iftar = Maghrib (sunset). Calculation: Aladhan API uses solar geometry — Fajr/Isha angles below the horizon (typically 18° / 17° depending on method).

Average Pakistani fast in Ramadan ranges from 12.5 hours (December) to 15.5 hours (June) due to the Hijri calendar drifting through seasons.

Northern European fasts (Stockholm, Helsinki) can exceed 20 hours in summer Ramadans — many Muslims there follow Mecca times per scholarly fatwa.

An estimated 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan — making it the largest synchronized fast on Earth, spanning every time zone.

From the editors — what to know before you start

Ramadan is two weeks out, the masjid hasn't put up its annual schedule yet, and your khala in Birmingham is asking what time iftar is so she knows when to call. This calculator generates a complete 30-day printable Ramadan calendar — Sehri (Imsak), Fajr, Sunrise, Iftar (Maghrib), and Isha — for any city in the world. Pakistani cities use the Karachi method by default; Gulf cities default to Umm al-Qura; North America uses ISNA; Europe falls back to the Muslim World League standard. All of these are the standards your local mosque is already using. Print it once and pin it on the fridge — by day 7 of Ramadan, when you're tired and pre-Sehri brain isn't really functioning, having the times on paper beats opening your phone every morning. Two important caveats every Ramadan brings up. First: these times are calculated from solar geometry, accurate within ±2 minutes — but local mosque azan accounts for actual horizon visibility (buildings, mountains, fog) and is the gold standard for the precise moment-of-Maghrib when you actually break the fast. Second: moon-sighting committees may declare 1 Ramadan a day off from the tabular calculation. If your community starts a day later, the times stay correct — just shift the day numbering by one. Print it, share it, use it as your daily reference, but cross-check with your local mosque for sehri and iftar on the day itself.

Pro tips most people learn the hard way

The Karachi method (used for Pakistan default) and Umm al-Qura (Gulf default) are NOT interchangeable — they use different solar angles and produce 5-15 minute differences in Sehri and Iftar times. Match the method your local mosque uses; switching mid-Ramadan creates confusion.
Print the schedule once at the start of Ramadan and pin it on the fridge. By day 7, you're pre-Sehri exhausted and not in the mood to navigate to a website at 4 AM. Paper schedules in the kitchen are the most-used Ramadan productivity hack Pakistani aunties have figured out.
For the exact moment to break fast (Iftar), follow your local mosque's azan, not this calculator. The calculator gives planning-grade accuracy (±2 minutes) but mosque azan accounts for actual horizon visibility — tall buildings on the western horizon can shift effective Maghrib by a few minutes.
Moon-sighting committees (Ruet-e-Hilal in Pakistan) may declare Ramadan starting a day off from the tabular calculation. If that happens, the times themselves remain accurate — just shift the day numbering. Sehri on day 1 of your community's Ramadan equals day 2 on this calendar, and so on.
Diaspora special case: extreme-latitude cities (Stockholm, Helsinki, parts of Canada) can have summer fasts exceeding 18-20 hours. Many scholars permit following Mecca times or the closest mid-latitude city via scholarly fatwa when the local calculation becomes impractical. Consult your local imam if you're in this bracket.

?What is the Sehri & Iftar Ramadan Schedule?

The Formula

Sehri (Imsak) ≈ Fajr − 10 minutes (varies by method). Iftar = Maghrib (sunset). Calculation: Aladhan API uses solar geometry — Fajr/Isha angles below the horizon (typically 18° / 17° depending on method).

Fasting begins at Subh-e-Sadiq (true dawn = start of Fajr) and ends at Maghrib (sunset). Imsak — the time you must stop eating Sehri — is conventionally set ~10 minutes before Fajr as a precautionary buffer (the Sunnah is to eat until Fajr begins, but the buffer is widely adopted). Sunrise (Shuruq) is shown so you know when the Fajr prayer window ends. Calculation methods differ in their solar elevation angles: Muslim World League uses 18° for Fajr / 17° for Isha; ISNA uses 15°/15°; Egyptian uses 19.5°/17.5°; Umm al-Qura uses 18.5° for Fajr / 90 minutes after Maghrib for Isha (120 min in Ramadan); Karachi uses 18°/18°. In high-latitude regions (>48° N/S) where dawn doesn't occur in summer, methods like Angle-Based or Middle-of-Night kick in.

Estimated Sehri & Iftar times for Ramadan 1446 AH (March 2025) in major cities

Put It in Perspective

Average Pakistani fast in Ramadan ranges from 12.5 hours (December) to 15.5 hours (June) due to the Hijri calendar drifting through seasons.

Northern European fasts (Stockholm, Helsinki) can exceed 20 hours in summer Ramadans — many Muslims there follow Mecca times per scholarly fatwa.

An estimated 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan — making it the largest synchronized fast on Earth, spanning every time zone.

Saudi Arabia and most Gulf states begin and end Ramadan based on Umm al-Qura sighting; South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) traditionally relies on local Ruet-e-Hilal moon sighting — explaining the occasional 1-day difference between regions.

Practical Examples

Karachi Ramadan 1446 AH (March 2025): Sehri ~05:10, Fajr ~05:20, Sunrise ~06:35, Iftar ~18:35, Isha ~19:50 — typical 13.5-hour fast.

Lahore: nearly identical to Karachi (same longitude band) — Iftar ~5 minutes later as you move east.

London Ramadan 1446 (Mar 2025): Sehri ~04:50, Iftar ~18:10 — ~13.5 hour fast (early March, before clocks change).

Dubai: Sehri ~05:05, Iftar ~18:25 — typical Gulf fast of ~13.5 hours in March, stretching to ~15+ hours when Ramadan falls in summer.

Toronto Ramadan in summer (e.g., Ramadan 2027 in May): can reach 17+ hour fasts due to high latitude — many scholars permit local-time-zone-aligned fasting (Saudi or Mecca times) when impractical.

Reykjavik or other extreme-latitude cities: in summer, Fajr never occurs — Muslims follow Mecca times or the closest mid-latitude city per scholarly fatwa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sehri (also called Suhoor) is the pre-dawn meal you eat before fasting begins. Imsak is the precautionary cutoff time to stop eating — usually about 10 minutes before Fajr as a safety buffer. Strictly speaking, the Sunnah allows you to keep eating right up until Fajr (true dawn) begins. The 10-minute buffer is a cultural and scholarly convention to prevent accidentally eating into Fajr if your watch is off by a minute. Some scholars consider Imsak unnecessary; in practice, most Pakistani mosques announce both times. Check with your local mosque.
