Questions about the times and the pack

Mosques choose their own method, and many add a few minutes of caution to Fajr or Maghrib, or follow a timetable agreed by local scholars. Ramadanfold calculates from the sun with the method you pick and names it on every page. Pick the method your mosque uses, and use the adjustments to match its minutes. Where they still differ, your mosque's timetable is the one to follow.

The one your mosque uses; ask if it is not printed on their timetable. As a rough guide, Muslim World League is common in Europe, ISNA in the US and Canada, the Egyptian authority in Egypt and parts of Africa, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, and Karachi in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh and in many mosques of that heritage. They differ mainly in the sun's angle for Fajr and Isha.

Asr begins when a shadow reaches a set length. In the Standard reckoning (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) that is the object's own length plus its noon shadow; in the Hanafi reckoning it is twice the length, so Asr starts later, often by an hour or more. It changes no other time, and not suhoor or iftar.

Above about 48 degrees of latitude, twilight can last all night in summer, so the sun may never reach the angle Fajr and Isha are set at. The rule keeps them to a share of the night instead: angle based (the angle over 60), one seventh, or the middle of the night. The rule is named on every print with the days it was used. Ramadan from 2026 to 2030 falls in the northern winter, so in Europe it is rarely needed; far south, beyond about 48 degrees, it is needed in December 2030.

Yes. Times are worked out for each day in your city's own time zone, read from your browser's time zone data, so a clock change inside the month (New York on 8 March 2026, for example) moves the times on the right day. The timetable says when the clocks change, and the calendar file carries the same rules.

The expected first day comes from the Umm al-Qura calendar and is marked expected. Change it to the date your mosque or your community announces. The site takes dates up to 3 days either side of the expected one, which covers every announcement it has been built for.

Ramadan has 29 or 30 days, and the last day is confirmed by sighting at the end of the month. The pack is 30 days unless you choose 29. The expected Eid date shown is the day after the last day you chose.

Download the pack as a PDF and print it at 100 percent, or actual size, on A4 or US Letter, whichever you chose. The timetable also prints straight from the page, and it saves as a picture for the fridge.

Yes. Names can be typed in any script. In the PDF, a name the bundled font cannot draw is drawn by your browser, which joins and orders Arabic, Urdu, Persian and other scripts correctly, and placed on the page as an image.

No. Your city, your children's names and ages, the readers and every setting stay in this browser, saved on this device. The PDF, the picture and the calendar file are made on your device. There is no account and no server holding your data.

Ages 2 to 17, up to 6 children. The good-deed prompts come in two sets, one for ages 2 to 7 and one for 8 to 17. The fasting tracker lets a child mark a full day, a half day or a try. Whether and how much a child fasts is a family's decision; for any health question, ask your doctor.

Choose Add to a calendar and open the file. Apple Calendar on a phone or a Mac opens it straight away. For Google Calendar, import the file from a computer under Settings, then Import and export, into the calendar you want. Each day has a Suhoor ends event at Fajr and an Iftar event at Maghrib, in your city's time zone.

By page, using the 604 page Madani mushaf most households have. For the whole Quran once, every reader on every day they read gets an equal share, differing by at most a page, in order from page 1. For a juz a day, that day's juz is split between that day's readers. Readers marked weekend only read on weekend days.

Yes. On an iPhone or iPad, open the site in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. On Android and on a computer, choose Install Ramadanfold in the menu or at the foot of any page when your browser offers it. After one visit online, the pack builder, the timetable and the printables open without a connection, and the PDF works offline once it has been made once.

Ramadanfold is an independent tool. Ramadanfold is not affiliated with any mosque, Islamic organisation, calendar authority or app. Times are calculated; follow your local mosque for the start of the month and for prayer times.
