About the Ramadan Schedule
The Ramadan calendar provides precise Sahri (Sahar) and Iftar times for all major cities in Afghanistan. This schedule is designed to help the Afghan community observe the holy month with convenience and accuracy.
Sahri marks the end of pre-dawn meals and the start of the fast, while Iftar marks the breaking of the fast at sunset. All times are based on local geographical coordinates and standard Islamic calculation methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Ramadan start in Afghanistan?
Ramadan starts when the crescent moon is sighted. In Afghanistan, this is traditionally announced by the Supreme Court based on local and regional sightings. The dates in the table above are astronomical estimates.
What calculation method is used?
We use the Karachi method (University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi) with the Hanafi juristic school for Fajr and Asr, which is standard across Afghanistan.
Why do times vary by city?
Sahar and Iftar times depend on the exact sunset and sunrise at your specific longitude and latitude. For example, Herat (West) will have Iftar later than Kabul (East).
