Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, considered as the holiest month for Muslims worldwide. During this time, Muslims observe fasting from dawn until dusk, abstaining from food, drinks, and other physical needs.
One of the most significant aspects of Ramadan is the Iftar time, the evening meal that Muslims consume to break their fast. In Karachi, Muslims eagerly await Ramadan, and the city comes alive with a variety of traditional dishes and drinks shared among family and friends. The Iftar time in Karachi varies according to the time of sunset and the local prayer timings.

The Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence is one of the four major schools of thought in Sunni Islam. Hanafi scholars have a slightly different interpretation of the timing of Iftar than the other schools. According to the Hanafi school, Iftar time begins when the sun is completely below the horizon and the redness in the sky has disappeared.
This timing is known as the “white thread of dawn” or “al-fajr al-Sadiq” in Arabic. The Hanafi school considers this timing to be more cautious and conservative in determining the beginning of the fast-breaking time.
Therefore, Muslims who follow the Hanafi school wait a few minutes longer before breaking their fast compared to those who follow other schools of thought.

Iftar is a significant time for Muslims, particularly those who follow the Jaferia school of thought. This time marks the breaking of the fast during the holy month of Ramadan, a time of spiritual reflection, devotion, and self-discipline.
The Jaferia community follows a slightly different schedule for Iftar compared to other Islamic schools of thought, as they consider the sun to have set when it is about 12 to 15 degrees below the horizon rather than when it disappears completely.
This means that the Jaferia Iftar time may differ by a few minutes from the Iftar timings followed by other Islamic schools.
In Karachi, the timing of the Ramadan prayer is determined by local Islamic scholars and is based on the position of the sun. A Ramadan prayer time calendar is published every year, which contains the timings for all five daily prayers and the additional prayers performed during Ramadan.
The Ramadan prayer time calendar is of great importance to Muslims, as it allows them to plan their day around these timings. The calendar indicates the exact times for each prayer, and Muslims perform the prayers within the allotted time.
During Ramadan, Muslims also observe the Taraweeh prayer, an additional prayer performed after the Isha prayer. The timings for the Taraweeh prayers have also been included in the Ramadan prayer time calendar.

One of the most important aspects of Ramadan is the recitation of Duas, which are supplications and invocations to Allah. Duas can be recited at any time, but their significance increases during Ramadan because of the heightened spiritual atmosphere of the month.
The following are some of the Duas that can be recited during Ramadan:
This Dua is recited at the time of breaking the fast at sunset. The Arabic text of this Dua is
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
It translates to “O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I put my trust in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance.”
This Dua is recited before the start of the fast, usually at the time of the pre-dawn meal. The Arabic text of this Dua is
“وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ”
It means “I intend to keep the fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.”
Ramadan is divided into three parts, each lasting for ten days, known as Ashra. Muslims believe that each Ashra has its unique significance and blessings, and they focus on specific Duas and prayers during each period.
Here are the Duas for each Ashra of Ramadan:
1st Ashra (first ten days of Ramadan)
This Ashra is known as the Ashra of Mercy, and Muslims focus on seeking Allah’s mercy and forgiveness during these days. The following Dua is recommended for recitation during this period:
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْث
which means “O Living, O Sustaining, in Your Mercy I seek relief.”
This Ashra is known as the Ashra of Forgiveness, and Muslims focus on seeking Allah’s forgiveness and repentance during these days. The following Dua is recommended for recitation during this period:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
which means “I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Mighty, the Living, the Eternal, and I turn to Him in repentance.”
This Ashra is known as the Ashra of Salvation, and Muslims focus on seeking Allah’s protection and deliverance during these days. The following Dua is recommended for recitation during this period:
اَللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ
which means “O Allah, Save me from the hellfire (Jahannum).”
