- Dhuhr : early afternoon prayer.
- Asser : the late afternoon prayer.
- Maghreb : the prayer to practice at sunset.

Consult in particular above the calendar and the key prayer times of the day of fasting, Maghreb, at the end of the day, at sunset. This marks the time of iftarthe time at which those who practice Ramadan can have their evening meal. All the prayers of the day of Ramadan follow the movement of the sun, since the time of fasting is determined by daybreak and nightfall. Muslims following the injunctions of Ramadan must therefore have at hand a precise calendar of prayer times, since the times change each day, due to the lengthening of the duration of the day until summer solstice.
