During Ramadan, strict rules govern when Muslims can begin and end their fasts. Fasting starts at Fajr (dawn) and ends at Maghrib (sunset), which means accurate timing is essential. Different cities observe different schedules because of longitude, latitude, and the variation in sunrise and sunset times. Organisations and mosques often publish daily prayer timetables to help worshippers observe fasts properly. Staying aligned with the correct Sehri and Iftar timings is a core part of fasting during Ramadan.
