Question 1

Can I eat before praying Maghrib during Ramadan?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How long does Maghrib prayer usually take?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What are the rewards or blessings of praying Maghrib on time?

Accepted Answer

Praying Maghrib on time brings peace to the heart and light to the home. It’s a moment when angels record your gratitude for the day. The Prophet ﷺ promised great reward for those who guard their prayers at their appointed times—and Maghrib, being so brief and beautiful, is one of the easiest to keep with consistency.

Question 4

What if the sunset time isn’t exact or I can’t see the sun in Puerto Princesa?

Accepted Answer

If clouds or tall buildings block the view, rely on the local prayer schedule for Puerto Princesa. Islamic authorities calculate sunset times precisely, so following those is accurate and safe. It’s better to be slightly cautious—wait a minute or two if you’re unsure—than to pray before the sun fully sets.
