Imsak and Iftar times for the 10th of Ramadan in Saudi Arabian cities

As we enter the tenth day of the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are increasingly keen to know the precise times for fasting and breaking the fast, to ensure the validity of their fast and the proper performance of their religious duties. On this auspicious day, Friday, the 10th of Ramadan, we present a detailed schedule of fasting times in several major cities, based on official data issued by the National Center of Meteorology.

The importance of the month of Ramadan and its religious significance

The month of Ramadan holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which the Holy Quran was revealed as guidance for humanity. Fasting during this month is one of the five pillars of Islam, during which Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other things that break the fast from dawn (the time of Imsak) until sunset (the time of Iftar). Fasting is not merely physical abstinence; it is a school for self-discipline, strengthening piety, fostering empathy for the suffering of the poor and needy, and increasing acts of worship such as prayer, reciting the Quran, and giving charity.

Imsak and Iftar: Spiritual times that bring hearts together

The pre-dawn meal (suhoor) marks the beginning of a new day of worship and patience, during which those fasting partake in the suhoor meal that sustains them through the rigors of fasting. They then abstain from food and drink at dawn. The breaking of the fast (iftar) at sunset is a moment of joy and celebration for those who have fasted, as family and friends gather around a single table in an atmosphere that strengthens social bonds and compassion. These moments hold special significance in the Kingdom, where charitable meals are widespread and acts of kindness increase, reflecting the spirit of solidarity that characterizes Saudi society during the holy month.
