Ramadan is a sacred month of fasting, reflection and devotion for Muslims in Luton and across the United Kingdom. For followers of Fiqah e Jafria (Shia), fasting begins at true dawn (Fajr) and Iftar takes place at Maghrib — slightly after sunset — in accordance with the jurisprudence of Ahlulbayt (AS).
The beginning and end of Ramadan remain subject to the sighting of the new moon, and believers should confirm official announcements from their Marja or local Shia Islamic centres.

Important Notes for Shia Muslims in Luton
In Fiqah e Jafria, fasting begins at true dawn (Fajr) and ends at Maghrib, which is observed slightly after sunset once the redness in the eastern sky disappears. It is recommended to stop eating at Imsaak as a precaution.
Islamic midnight is calculated as the midpoint between Maghrib and Fajr and is relevant for certain rulings, including Qadha prayers.
Local Shia mosques and Islamic centres in Luton typically organise:
- Congregational Maghrib & Isha prayers
- Laylatul Qadr programmes (19th, 21st, 23rd nights)
- Community Iftars
- Qur’an recitation gatherings
How Fiqah e Jafria Sehri and Iftar Times Are Calculated
Shia (Fiqah e Jafria) timetables differ slightly from other Ramadan calendars in Luton. Sehri ends at true dawn (Fajr), when the first light spreads across the horizon, and many people stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. Iftar is at Maghrib, which in Shia jurisprudence is when the redness in the eastern sky disappears after sunset. This is usually about 10 to 15 minutes after sunset, so Shia iftar times are a little later than sunset times on general calendars.
Tips for Using This Timetable
- Times change by a minute or two each day, so check the date carefully.
- If you live outside the city centre, allow for a small difference of one to three minutes.
- Follow the announcement of your local Shia mosque or imambargah for the start of Ramadan and Eid, since these depend on moon sighting.
- Recite the dua for each day of the month from our Ramadan daily duas page.
