Iftar Time Today and Sehri Time

Live iftar (Maghrib) and sehri (Imsak) times for your city, fetched from the AlAdhan prayer times API for the date you pick.

Pick a city, a date and a calculation method. The times are fetched live from the AlAdhan API, so the page always shows the source, the method and the date next to the times. Sehri ends at Imsak, and iftar is at Maghrib. Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting.

Sehri and iftar, in plain words

The fast starts before dawn and ends at sunset. Sehri is the meal eaten before dawn, and it ends at Imsak, which is a few minutes before the Fajr prayer. Iftar is the meal eaten at sunset, and it starts at Maghrib, the sunset prayer. The gap between Imsak and Maghrib is the length of the fast, and it changes through the year: in the UK a summer fast can run past 19 hours, while a winter fast is closer to 10 hours.

Times come from the sun position for your city, so they shift by a minute or two each day and differ between cities. That is why the tool asks for the city and the date instead of showing one fixed pair of times.

Check your local mosque

Mosques sometimes add a few minutes of caution to Fajr and Maghrib, and some follow a different calculation method. These API times are a solid guide, but your local mosque timetable is the final word for your fast.

What the API returns

The AlAdhan API returns Imsak, Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for the city and date, plus the Hijri date. This page shows all of them, with Imsak labelled as sehri end and Maghrib labelled as iftar, so nothing is hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iftar is the fast breaking meal at sunset. Iftar time is Maghrib time, the sunset prayer time. This tool shows Maghrib as the iftar time for the city and date you pick.

Sehri, also called suhoor, is the pre dawn meal before the fast starts. Sehri ends at Imsak, shortly before Fajr. This tool shows Imsak as the sehri end time, and Fajr beside it so you can see both.

Live from the AlAdhan prayer times API (aladhan.com). Every time shown on the page is fetched from that API for the city, country, date and calculation method you pick. Nothing is guessed or stored on this site. If the API cannot be reached, the page says so and shows no times.

The default is Muslim World League (method 3), which suits most UK mosques. ISNA (method 2) is common in North America, the University of Islamic Sciences in Karachi (method 1) is common in Pakistan, and the Egyptian General Authority (method 5) is common in Egypt. If your local mosque uses a different method, pick the one that matches it.

Prayer times depend on the calculation method, the exact location and small local adjustments. Two mosques in the same city can differ by a few minutes. Use your local mosque timetable for the final word on the day.

Yes. Pick a city, then use the full month button. It fetches the whole month from the AlAdhan API and lists Imsak and Maghrib for every day.

Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting, and to run to about 9 March 2027. The exact start is set by moon sighting in each country, so check your local announcement.

The countdown counts down in your device time. It matches the city time only when you are in the same time zone as the city you picked. The times themselves are always shown in the city local time.
