Frequently Asked Questions
What time is Suhoor today?▾
Suhoor (the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan) must be completed before Fajr prayer time. The exact time varies by city and changes daily. Select your city on Zaman to see today's Suhoor cutoff time based on precise solar calculations for your location.
What time is Iftar today?▾
Iftar (breaking the fast) begins at Maghrib prayer time, which is immediately after sunset. The time differs by location and shifts daily throughout Ramadan. Zaman calculates the exact Iftar time for 224+ cities worldwide using solar position algorithms.
How are prayer times calculated?▾
Zaman calculates prayer times using precise solar position algorithms based on your geographic coordinates. Each prayer time is determined by the sun's angle relative to the horizon, following established Islamic astronomical conventions like MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, and others. Fajr begins at dawn when the sun is 15–19.5° below the horizon (depending on convention), Dhuhr is at solar noon, Asr when shadows reach a specific length, Maghrib at sunset, and Isha when twilight disappears.
What is the Hijri calendar?▾
The Hijri (Islamic) calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months based on the cycles of the moon. It is used to determine Islamic holidays, fasting periods like Ramadan, and significant dates such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Zaman provides accurate Hijri date conversions using astronomical new moon calculations.
How do I find the Qibla direction?▾
The Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, which Muslims face during prayer. Zaman calculates the Qibla bearing from your location using the great circle method, which is the most accurate approach for determining direction on a sphere. The Qibla tool shows the exact degree bearing and distance to the Kaaba.
Which prayer time convention should I use?▾
The convention depends on your region. MWL (Muslim World League) is used globally, ISNA in North America, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, the Egyptian General Authority in Africa, and the University of Islamic Sciences Karachi in Pakistan. Zaman auto-selects the correct convention for your city.
What are the five daily prayers in Islam?▾
The five daily prayers (Salah) are: Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (midday after the sun passes its zenith), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (just after sunset), and Isha (night, after twilight disappears). Each prayer has a specific window determined by the position of the sun. Zaman shows all five prayer times plus Sunrise for your location.
