Stop eating by Imsak, ten minutes before Sehri ends, to be safe. Ramadan and the marked days follow the Hijri date above; where the moon is sighted a day later, they move with it.
These times are worked out from the position of the sun for Ekhephini (-30.9682, 27.5928, time zone Africa/Johannesburg), with the Muslim World League method, the way most mosques in South Africa do. Your mosque may differ by a minute or two, as many round their times or add a few minutes for safety. Imsak is ten minutes before Fajr. The Hijri date follows the Umm al-Qura calendar; the month begins where the moon is sighted, so it can differ by a day.
Questions about Ekhephini
What time is Fajr in Ekhephini today?
Fajr is at 3:50 am and sunrise at 5:16 am, so the time for Fajr ends then.
When is Maghrib and Iftar in Ekhephini today?
Maghrib, and Iftar for those fasting, is at 6:31 pm. Sehri ends at Fajr, 3:50 am.
What time is Isha in Ekhephini?
Isha is at 7:52 pm today, and its time lasts until Fajr.
Which calculation method is used?
The Muslim World League method, 18° and 17°, the way most mosques in South Africa work it out, with the standard Asr.
