Differences in Sehri and Iftar Timing in Canada Cities
Given the large size of Canada, Sehri and Iftar timing will vary in different cities as well. Depending on if you live in Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal, those times will adjust accordingly.
Based on this, we have compiled the Sehri and Iftar times for these cities:
Hanafi Vs Jafria – What is the difference?
By the way, Muslims in Canada, like many other countries, do follow various schools of thought on Sehri and Iftar timings. Fiqa Hanafi (generally followed by Sunni Muslims) and Fiqa Jafria (generally followed by Shia Muslims) are most commonly followed sects.
The key distinction between the two is timing
Fiqa Hanafi: The sehri and iftar end at a relatively later time than that of fiqa jafria.
Fiqa Jafria: The times are usually a few minutes earlier.
For instance, on a typical day in Canada:
- Fiqa Hanafi Sehri Time: 6:30 AM
- Fiqa Jafria Sehri Time: 6:20 AM
- Fiqa Hanafi Iftar Time: 7:15 PM
- Fiqa Jafria Iftar Time: 7:10 PM
How to Use a Ramadan Calendar in Canada
The Ramadan calendar is essential for Muslims living in Canada and it contains Sehri and Iftar timings for each and every day during this month. Most of these calendars are available on the internet or as mobile apps, so you can easily monitor your fasts while fasting. One of the finest among all is the Online Dar Al Quran calendar due to its accurate and convenient timings selection according to respective cities.
While online calendars are very convenient, the most accurate times are often found in local mosques. That’s especially true in parts of the world that span several time zones or have unusual daylight hours.
Ramadan: The Spirit that YOU Are: Running on The Timings
Although knowing Sehri and Iftar timings is essential, Ramadan is, after all, about more than fasting. It’s a time of spiritual growth, self-examination and community connection. In this month, Muslims try to strengthen their faith by:
Taraweeh prayers: Special prayers held every night of Ramadan, offering an opportunity for deeper worship and connection with Allah.
charity (Zakat) — Ramadan inspires giving, particularly to those in need. A great number of Muslims in Canada, seize this opportunity to give to, and support, charities and local causes.
Thankfulness, and Patience: Fasting in itself is a lesson to appreciate the treasures of your life and have some faith with those who don’t have so much.
How Long Is the Fast in Canada?
Fasting hours are quite different across Canada from coast to coast. In northern parts of the country, where days are longer during Ramadan, fasting can extend as long as 18 hours. On the other hand, cities south of the equator may have shorter fasting hours, only lasting between 14 to 16 hours.
Long hours can be tough but provides a unique opportunity to experience the diversity of the muslim ummah (community). These extended hours of fasting is a reminder of the struggles faced by those in countries ahead in the date line whose fasting hours extend even longer.
5 Practical Suggestions for Ramadan in Canada
Here are some practical tips to maximize the 5 remaining Ramadan 2025 in Canada.
