Maghrib Time Doha Today

During Ramadan, iftar in Doha is at the Maghrib time — 5:02 PM AST today. Maghrib marks the moment the sun has fully set, which is when fasting ends and the evening meal may begin. The time changes slightly each day as sunset shifts with the seasons.

Maghrib begins when the entire disc of the sun has disappeared below the horizon, which is effectively the moment of sunset. In practice, the Maghrib adhan is called immediately after the sun fully sets. The Aladhan API provides the calculated sunset time for Doha, and Maghrib follows directly.

The Maghrib window lasts from sunset until Isha begins. In the Qatar method, Isha is fixed at 90 minutes after Maghrib, so the window is consistently about 90 minutes long, the shortest of the five daily prayer windows. Because the window is brief, scholars encourage praying Maghrib promptly after the adhan rather than delaying.

Today Maghrib ends and Isha begins at 6:32 PM AST. In the Qatar method, Isha is fixed at 90 minutes after Maghrib. Once Isha time enters, the Maghrib window has closed.

Maghrib is 3 obligatory (fard) rakats. It is the only odd-numbered fard prayer among the five daily prayers. It is also common to pray 2 additional Sunnah rakats after the fard, bringing the total to 5.

Doha uses the Qatar method (Umm al-Qura based), identified as method 10 in the Aladhan API. The timezone is Arabia Standard Time (AST), UTC+3. Qatar does not observe daylight saving time, so UTC+3 applies every day of the year.

10 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 AH is today's Hijri date. The Islamic lunar calendar has 12 months, each 29 or 30 days. A Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Maghrib and Ramadan shift through the seasons over a 33-year cycle.
