How prayer times are calculated in Suriname

Pages for Suriname use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC−3). In the capital Paramaribo, Fajr is about 5:12 AM and Maghrib 6:56 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:30 AM and Maghrib at 6:32 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 47 min to 12 h 28 min.

Our cities in Suriname stretch from Nieuw Nickerie in the west to Albina in the east, and from Nieuw Nickerie in the north to Brokopondo in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Albina about 12 minutes before Nieuw Nickerie, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Paramaribo cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Suriname

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Paramaribo lasts roughly 13 h 06 min at the start of the month and 13 h 12 min at the end, with imsak at 5:36 AM and iftar at 6:52 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.
