Prayer Times in Ahvaz
Ahvaz observes Iran Standard Time (UTC+3:30) year-round with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At about 31°N the seasonal variation is moderate: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib into the late afternoon. Times on this page are calculated using the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran method, the standard reference for prayer timing across Iran.
Ramadan in Ahvaz
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Ahvaz begins at Fajr and ends at Maghrib, both of which appear in the times listed on this page. Because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar year, Ramadan moves earlier by about eleven days each year, shifting the season in which it falls and therefore the length of the fasting day.
When Ramadan falls in summer, Ahvaz's longer daylight hours at roughly 31 degrees north make for a longer fast between an early Fajr and a later Maghrib; in winter the fasting day is noticeably shorter. With no daylight saving in effect, the suhoor and iftar times move gradually with the season rather than jumping with a clock change, so checking the daily times here helps in planning the pre-dawn meal and the breaking of the fast.
