Important Notes for Shia Muslims in Toronto
In Fiqah e Jafria, fasting begins at Fajr (true dawn) and ends at Maghrib, which occurs slightly after sunset once the redness in the eastern sky disappears. It is recommended to stop eating at Imsaak (Sehri) as a precaution.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on 9 March 2026, which is reflected in the change of timings from Ramadan 19 onward.
Islamic centres in Toronto typically organise:
- Congregational Maghrib & Isha prayers
- Laylatul Qadr programmes (19th, 21st, and 23rd nights)
- Qur’an recitation gatherings
- Community Iftar programmes
