Maghrib is one of the shorter prayers—three rak‘ahs in total. It typically takes just a few minutes to complete with focus. That’s part of its beauty: a brief yet powerful way to end your day with remembrance and peace.
Yes, Maghrib begins the moment the sun completely sets below the horizon. You can often tell because the bright light fades and the sky takes on warm, dusky colors. Most prayer apps and masjids in Cotonou calculate the exact timing, but if you’re outdoors, that first instant after sunset is your signal to pray.
The Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ was to break his fast right at Maghrib with dates and water, then pray. Many people follow this beautiful balance—just enough nourishment to pray comfortably before eating a full meal. If you’re too weak, it’s fine to take a few bites or sips before prayer. The key is gratitude—begin your iftar the moment the sun sets.
Maghrib is meant to be prayed soon after sunset, and Isha follows not long after twilight fades. This close timing keeps your evening spiritually connected—you finish one prayer and prepare gently for the next. It’s a rhythm that eases your transition from worldly activity to nighttime reflection and rest.
