Maghrib Begins at Sunset in Karachi
Maghrib starts the moment the top edge of the sun disappears below the horizon over the Arabian Sea. The time is corrected for the way the air bends light, which keeps the sun in view for a couple of minutes after it has truly set. In Karachi today that moment is 5:58 PM.
Sunset is also the moment the fast ends, so in Ramadan this is iftar. Our iftar time in Karachi timetable is built on this same sunset time.
Karachi Opens Its Fast After Most of Pakistan
Because Karachi lies in the far west of Pakistan Standard Time, its sun sets well after the northern cities. On 10 October 2026, Maghrib in Karachi came 33 minutes after Lahore and 29 minutes after Islamabad. Quetta was within a few minutes of Karachi, and Gwadar was about 19 minutes later still. In Ramadan, Karachi opens its fast around half an hour after Lahore.

A Short Window: Pray Soon After the Azan
Maghrib ends when the twilight has gone and Isha begins, at 7:15 PM today, which leaves 1 hour 17 minutes. In Karachi the window is between about 1 hour 15 minutes, around mid-March, and 1 hour 30 minutes, around late June. That is shorter than in northern Pakistan.
The Companions prayed Maghrib with the Prophet ﷺ so early that afterwards one of them could still see where his arrow fell (Sahih al-Bukhari 559). He also said his ummah would remain upon goodness as long as it did not delay Maghrib until the stars appear (Sunan Abu Dawud 418).
