Today Ramadan 2025: Global Fasting Times
With the start of Ramadan 2025, Muslims worldwide will observe fasting and prayer times, guided by the Ramadan timetable, as they strive for spiritual purification and growth, creating a global chain of fasting that transcends geographical boundaries.
As the holy month of Ramadan begins on March 1, 2025, Muslims around the world prepare for a period of fasting and spiritual purification, with the Ramadan timetable guiding daily routines and prayer schedules.
In Yemen, where 98-99% of the population is Muslim, the country is gearing up for the significant month, with Iftar and Suhoor times varying from day to day according to the sun's position. On March 16, 2025, Iftar is at 6:14 PM, and fasting begins at Fajr, while on March 17, Iftar remains at 6:14 PM, but fasting starts at 4:56 AM. The prayer schedule, including Maghrib and Fajr prayers, plays a crucial role in daily rituals, promoting community and spiritual growth.
The significance of observing these times is rooted in Islamic beliefs and practices, and local authorities encourage respect for prayer times, especially around evenings. The conclusion of Ramadan is marked by Eid al-Fitr, dependent on the sighting of the moon. As the month progresses, the duration of fasting increases, with Suhoor and Imsak times varying accordingly. In different cities, sehri and iftar times vary slightly, with examples including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and other major cities.
Ramadan is a global phenomenon, with Muslims worldwide observing the holy month, creating a chain of fasting across different time zones. Cities on opposite sides of the world experience contrasting scenarios, such as Rajshahi, Bangladesh beginning suhoor as New York City ends iftar, and Recife, Brazil beginning the fast as Sydney, Australia ends. This global nature of Ramadan is a testament to the unity of the Muslim community, promoting spiritual purification, charity, and good deeds.
As Muslims embark on this spiritual journey, the world comes together in a shared experience of fasting, prayer, and reflection, with the holy month of Ramadan 2025 serving as a reminder of the power of faith and community.
