Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Abu Hulayfah is based on the astronomical sunset at 29.1°N, 48.1°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 Abu Hulayfah lasts 11h 47m, which is approximately 60 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are changing moderately as the season progresses.
At 29.1°N and 9m elevation in the Kuwait timezone, Abu Hulayfah 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 0.0 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 Kuwait City at 29.4°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Abu Hulayfah.
Abu Hulayfah's sunset is approximately 2 minutes earlier than Az Zubayr, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Abu Hulayfah's sunset is approximately 1 minute earlier than Abi al Khasib, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Abu Hulayfah's sunset is approximately 1 minute earlier than Al Basrah, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Abu Hulayfah, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Abu Hulayfah, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 29.1° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Abu Hulayfah'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 9m above sea level, Abu Hulayfah'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 Abu Hulayfah's exact location (29.13°N, 48.13°E), timezone (Asia/Kuwait), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Abu Hulayfah today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Abu Hulayfah's exact location (29.13°N, 48.13°E) at 9m elevation. The calculation uses the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, which is followed across Gulf states.
Sehri end time in Abu Hulayfah 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 Abu Hulayfah's exact coordinates using the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 29.1°N, Abu Hulayfah experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Abu Hulayfah vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Abu Hulayfah's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Kuwait City, Abu Hulayfah has sunset 1 minute later than Kuwait City 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. Abu Hulayfah is at latitude 29.13°, while Kuwait City is at latitude 29.37°. 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 Abu Hulayfah. 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.
