Ramadan Calendar 2024: Including Suhoor Timing And Iftar Timing


Dates and Lattern. Symbol of Ramadan Fasting

With Ramadan right around the corner, the Muslim community is preparing for an entire month of fasting. The holy month of Ramadan is a special time for every Muslim family. 


So, after covering ‘When is Ramadan in 2024’ and ‘Eid Al-Fitr Holidays in 2024’, we will now try to answer another important question on everyone's mind. 

What is the Ramadan calendar for 2024, and what are the suhoor timing and iftar timing in 2024?

Ramadan Calendar 2024

Before we get to the Ramadan timetable in 2024, we need to understand how months are calculated in Islam. Muslims follow a unique calendar called the Hijri calendar, which is based on the moon's phases, unlike the Gregorian calendar, which follows the Earth’s revolution around the sun. The Hijri year has 12 months, which can be 29 or 30 days long. Determining when a new month starts involves two methods.


Traditionally, looking for the crescent moon after a new moon is the most essential factor. This visual confirmation marks the end of the previous month and the beginning of the new one. However, in modern times, precise astronomical calculations also predict the moon's appearance, offering another tool for determining the calendar. 

Although calculations provide convenience, many Muslims still prioritise the tradition of spotting the crescent. Remember, if the moon remains hidden due to weather or other factors, the current month simply extends to 30 days, with the new month starting the following day. This intricate system keeps the Hijri calendar distinct and plays a vital role in Muslim religious and cultural practices.


With that in mind, let’s get to our suhoor timings and iftar timings in 2024.

Travelling Tips during Ramadan

Most Muslims try to stay at home during Ramadan; this is because fasting is exhausting for most Muslims. But, sometimes, we can't stay in the comfort of our homes, and we need to travel during Ramadan or even abroad to work. So, here are our tips and tricks for all Muslims travelling during Ramadan.

Plan ahead

Have a plan in mind before even booking the flight. Try to book a flight that starts after Suhoor and ends before iftar to avoid breaking your fast or starting it during your flight.

Timing

If you travel abroad, it is crucial to know the Suhoor timing and the Iftar timing of the country you visit. 


You can look it up on Google or download a Muslim-friendly, location-specific app. So the moment you land in any other country, the app will automatically update the suhoor, iftar and prayer timings.

Packing emergency food

You can never be too ready, so preparing an emergency meal in case your flight is delayed will help tremendously.

Never skip Suhoor

Always remember NEVER TO SKIP SUHOOR. It is by far the most important meal during Ramadan. You might feel tired from travelling while fasting, but try to make a quick trip to any nearby supermarket. Make sure you pick up food high in protein and complex carbohydrates to remain as healthy as possible during travel.

Breaking the Fast

If you feel particularly sick or exhausted during your trip, breaking your fast is halal. But you’ll need to make up the days you didn’t fast after Ramadan is over.
