What Happened
On February 25, 2026, Muslims in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will observe iftar at specific times as part of their daily Ramadan rituals. In Dubai, iftar will take place at 6:22 PM, while in Abu Dhabi, it will be at 6:26 PM. This marks the eighth day of Ramadan, which began on February 18, 2026, following the sighting of the crescent moon.
Why It Matters
The timing of iftar is significant for Muslims, as it marks the end of the daily fast observed from Fajr to Maghrib prayers. The fast is a time of reflection, community, and spiritual growth. This year, the fasting hours are relatively shorter, approximately 13 hours, compared to longer fasts in previous years, allowing for a more manageable experience during the holy month.
