Prayer Times in Tehran
Tehran keeps Iran Standard Time (UTC+3:30) throughout the year with no daylight saving changes, so prayer times shift only with the natural progression of the seasons rather than with clock adjustments. At a latitude of about 35.7°N the seasonal swing is moderate but noticeable: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the night, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. The times shown here are calculated using the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran method, which is widely used across Iran.
Ramadan in Tehran
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Tehran runs from Fajr until Maghrib, so the length of the fast depends on the time of year that Ramadan falls. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the month shifts roughly eleven days earlier each year, meaning Tehran's fasting hours gradually move through the seasons over time.
At a latitude of about 35.7°N, the difference between summer and winter daylight is moderate but real. When Ramadan falls in summer, longer days make for a longer fast with a later iftar at Maghrib, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter days, an earlier sunset, and a more compressed fasting window. Since Tehran does not observe daylight saving, the daily timings change only with the natural movement of the seasons rather than with any clock adjustment.
