MWL Method
Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in As Sulaymaniyah is based on the astronomical sunset at 35.5°N, 45.4°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.
Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.
Today's fast in As Sulaymaniyah lasts 11h 42m, which is approximately 100 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are increasing gradually as daylight lengthens in the spring season.
At 35.5°N and 655m elevation in the Baghdad timezone, As Sulaymaniyah is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 5 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 2.3 minutes to sunset timing.
By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 75 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Marivan at 35.5°N, this results in about 0 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in As Sulaymaniyah.
As Sulaymaniyah's sunset is approximately 0 minutes earlier than Kalar, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
As Sulaymaniyah's sunset is approximately 3 minutes earlier than Tuz Khurmatu, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
As Sulaymaniyah's sunset is approximately 3 minutes later than Saqqez, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In As Sulaymaniyah, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 5 minutes longer than today in As Sulaymaniyah, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 35.5° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of As Sulaymaniyah's temperate latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.
Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.
At 655m above sea level, As Sulaymaniyah's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.
Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on As Sulaymaniyah's exact location (35.55°N, 45.43°E), timezone (Asia/Baghdad), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in As Sulaymaniyah today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for As Sulaymaniyah's exact location (35.55°N, 45.43°E) at 655m elevation. The calculation uses the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in As Sulaymaniyah marks when the fast begins in the morning. During Ramadan, this time shifts daily as sunrise moves earlier or later. The time shown on this page is calculated for As Sulaymaniyah's exact coordinates using the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 35.5°N, As Sulaymaniyah experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in As Sulaymaniyah vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for As Sulaymaniyah's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Marivan, As Sulaymaniyah has sunset 3 minutes earlier than Marivan due to its more westerly position, and 658m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. As Sulaymaniyah is at latitude 35.55°, while Marivan is at latitude 35.52°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The Umm al-Qura 18.5° method is most commonly used by mosques in As Sulaymaniyah. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: Umm al-Qura 18.5°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
