Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Ar Rusayfah is based on the astronomical sunset at 32.0°N, 36.0°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 Ar Rusayfah lasts 11h 45m, which is approximately 60 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are changing moderately as the season progresses.
At 32.0°N and 613m elevation in the Amman timezone, Ar Rusayfah is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 2.1 minutes to sunset timing.
By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Az Zarqa' at 32.1°N, this results in about 0 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Ar Rusayfah.
Ar Rusayfah's sunset is approximately 0 minutes earlier than Sahab, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Ar Rusayfah's sunset is approximately 1 minute later than Al Mafraq, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Ar Rusayfah's sunset is approximately 1 minute earlier than Ajlun, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Ar Rusayfah, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Ar Rusayfah, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 32.0° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Ar Rusayfah'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 613m above sea level, Ar Rusayfah'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 Ar Rusayfah's exact location (32.02°N, 36.05°E), timezone (Asia/Amman), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Ar Rusayfah today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Ar Rusayfah's exact location (32.02°N, 36.05°E) at 613m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in Ar Rusayfah 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 Ar Rusayfah's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 32.0°N, Ar Rusayfah experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Ar Rusayfah vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Ar Rusayfah's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Ar Rusayfah and Az Zarqa' share nearly identical sunset times due to their close proximity. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Ar Rusayfah is at latitude 32.02°, while Az Zarqa' is at latitude 32.08°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Ar Rusayfah. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: MWL 18°, 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.
