URGENT UPDATE: The official iftar schedule for Manado has just been announced for today, March 16, 2026, coinciding with 26 Ramadan 1447 Hijriah. This crucial information is essential for Muslims in North Sulawesi and beyond as they prepare to break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

According to the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance from the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag), the azan Magrib will sound at 17:56 WITA, marking the moment for iftar. Following this, the Isya prayer is scheduled for 19:04 WITA. This daily ritual is not just about the end of fasting; it is a highly anticipated time of joy and blessings for the Muslim community.

As Muslims around the world observe Ramadan, the moment of breaking the fast is filled with spiritual significance.

“For the fasting person, there are two occasions of joy: when he breaks his fast and when he meets his Lord,”

said Rasulullah SAW, emphasizing the joy associated with this sacred practice.

The moments leading up to iftar are also considered prime times for prayer, with many believing that the supplications made during this period are particularly powerful. The hadith states,

“Three types of people whose supplications are not rejected: a just leader, a fasting person until he breaks his fast, and the prayer of the oppressed.”

This highlights the emotional and spiritual gravity of the occasion.

Muslims in Manado are encouraged to gather with family and friends as they await the call to prayer, cherishing the shared experience of breaking their fast together.
