Best Time to Pray in the Month of Ramadan

When practicing the prayers above, it is recommended for Dream readers to recite them at the best times. Here are some of the best times to pray during the month of Ramadan:

During Sahur

The first recommended time is during Sahur. Sahur, which is performed at the last third of the night, is a moment when Allah SWT descends to the earthly sky and will answer the prayers of His servants. This is explained in the following hadith:

"Our Lord, blessed and exalted, descends to the earthly sky when the last third of the night remains. Then Allah says, 'Whoever prays to Me, I will answer. Whoever asks of Me, I will give. Whoever seeks forgiveness from Me, I will forgive.'" (HR. Bukhari no. 1145 and Muslim no. 758)

When Fasting

The next opportune time is when fasting. People who pray while fasting have a great chance of having their prayers answered. As explained in the following hadith:

"Three people whose prayers are not rejected: a person who fasts until they break their fast, a just leader, and the prayer of an oppressed person." (Narrated by Ahmad, 2: 305)

When Breaking the Fast

In addition, friends of Dream can also pray at the time of breaking the fast. So, besides breaking the fast, this moment is also very appropriate to pray to Allah SWT. As explained in the following hadith:

"Indeed, a person who fasts has a prayer that will not be rejected when breaking the fast." (Narrated by Ibn Majah 1753, authentic according to Al-Bushiri)
