How the times are calculated
Suhoor ends at Fajr (true dawn) and iftar is at Maghrib (sunset). Times for Nigeria 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.

- When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained
