How the times are calculated
Suhoor ends at Fajr (true dawn) and iftar is at Maghrib (sunset). Times for New Zealand follow the Muslim World League (MWL) convention — Fajr at 18° and Isha at 17° below the horizon. Each city page also lists an imsak time 10 minutes before Fajr as a precaution.
Hadiths on “Virtue of Fasting”
- When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained
- Whoever fasts Ramadan, out of faith and in pursuit of reward, his past sins will be forgiven
- Allah said: All the deeds of the son of Adam are for himself except for fasting, as it is, indeed, for Me, and I give reward for it
