Imsak and Iftar times in Saudi Arabia, Saturday, 11 Ramadan 1445

As the eleventh day of Ramadan begins, Muslims in Saudi Arabia continue to observe the fast, the fourth pillar of Islam, seeking reward and forgiveness. In this context, the National Center for Meteorology announced the precise times for the start and end of the fast for Saturday, the 11th of Ramadan 1445 AH, across the Kingdom's cities and regions, to help those fasting adhere to the correct times.

The importance of Ramadan and prayer times

The month of Ramadan holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, home to the Two Holy Mosques. It is a month of fasting, prayer, and Quran recitation, during which Muslims abstain from food and drink from the break of dawn (Imsak) until sunset (Iftar). Accurate knowledge of these times is essential for the validity of the fast, as their determination relies on precise astronomical calculations related to the sun's movement. This process is overseen by trusted official bodies such as the National Center of Meteorology to ensure consistency and prevent any confusion.
