Imsak and Iftar times for the 5th of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia 1447
Prayer times on the fifth day of Ramadan in the Kingdom
As the fifth day of Ramadan 1447 AH arrives, Muslims in Saudi Arabia continue to observe the fast, eager to know the precise times for beginning and ending the fast. The Saudi National Center for Meteorology has released a timetable detailing the Fajr (dawn) and Maghrib (sunset) prayer times in various cities and regions of the Kingdom to help those fasting organize their religious observances.
The importance of the month of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia
The month of Ramadan holds a special place in Saudi Arabia, the heart of the Islamic world and home to the Two Holy Mosques. The pace of life changes significantly, with a spiritual atmosphere prevailing and increased acts of worship such as prayer, Quran recitation, and night vigils. Fasting, the fourth pillar of Islam, is a period of reflection and drawing closer to God, during which Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn (the time of Imsak) until sunset (the time of Iftar). This practice is not merely physical; it also encompasses self-discipline and spiritual elevation.
