Maghrib times marking the end of fasting vary by city, with Yogyakarta at 5:59 PM WIB, Surabaya at 5:49 PM WIB, and Jakarta at 6:12 PM WIB. This information comes from official imsakiyah schedules to ensure timely observance.
Ramadan 1447 H officially began on February 19, 2026, and on Saturday, March 7, 2026, Muslims across Indonesia observe the 17th day of fasting. The iftar moment is marked by the Maghrib call to prayer, eagerly awaited to end the fast with gratitude and devotion.
According to prayer schedules from reliable sources like Bimas Islam Imsakiyah, Maghrib in Yogyakarta is at 5:59 PM WIB. The full schedule there includes Imsak at 4:18 AM, Subuh 4:28 AM, Sunrise 5:40 AM, Dhuha 6:07 AM, Dzuhur 11:53 AM, Ashar 2:58 PM, and Isya 7:08 PM.

For Jakarta and its surroundings, iftar time is 6:12 PM WIB, as reported by local news outlets. Muslims are encouraged to hasten iftar, as per the saying of Prophet Muhammad SAW: "My ummah will always be in good condition as long as they hasten to break the fast" (HR. Al-Bukhari and Muslim). This emphasizes starting iftar immediately after the call to prayer, typically with dates or a sweet drink before Maghrib prayer.
These schedules aid in organizing daily activities, including preparing takjil and worship. During Ramadan, fasting involves not only abstaining from food and drink but also controlling desires and increasing good deeds. Accurate information from credible sources ensures orderly observance throughout Indonesia.
