Iftar time in Salman Bak is based on the astronomical sunset at 33.1°N, 44.6°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.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Salman Bak, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 33.1° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Salman Bak's subtropical 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 37m above sea level, Salman Bak'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 Salman Bak's exact location (33.10°N, 44.58°E), timezone (Asia/Baghdad), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Compared to Baghdad, Salman Bak has sunset 1 minute later than Baghdad due to its more easterly position. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Salman Bak is at latitude 33.10°, while Baghdad is at latitude 33.32°. 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 Salman Bak. 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.
