About Maghrib Prayer
Maghrib is the fourth of the five daily prayers, prayed immediately after sunset. It consists of 3 obligatory rakaat — unique among the five prayers. Islamic scholars emphasise praying Maghrib promptly without delay. During Ramadan, Maghrib marks the moment of iftar (breaking the fast).
The Prophet ﷺ said: "My nation will be in a good state as long as they do not delay Maghrib until the stars appear." (Abu Dawud). Praying Maghrib immediately at sunset is strongly recommended.
