As the sun sets today, Saturday, March 14, 2026, the time for Maghrib Adhan arrives, marking the end of another day of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. In this spiritual atmosphere, hearts turn to the sound of the Adhan that fills the world with reverence, especially as this day coincides with the 25th of Ramadan 1447 AH, where tranquility deepens as we bid farewell to the last ten days.
Maghrib Adhan Times in Saudi Cities
Every city in our country has its own traditions, but the moment is one. According to March calendars, the timing varies from one city to another. In the capital, Riyadh, the Maghrib Adhan will be called today at exactly 6:01 PM, while in Jeddah it will be at 6:30 PM, and in Dammam, the Adhan for Maghrib is at 5:43 PM. For the residents of Mecca, Iftar time today, Saturday, falls at 6:30 PM, with fasting families gathering at the table of the Most Merciful right after Maghrib prayers.
The Night of the 25th of Ramadan: Hashim Al-Saqqaf's Voice Resonates in the Haram
The echo of the Maghrib Adhan from the Grand Mosque by Sheikh Hashim Al-Saqqaf continues to reverberate in circles since days. Last Dhu al-Qi'dah 8th, he led the worshippers and called the Adhan with his melodious voice, and the recordings are still being widely shared as the last ten days begin. Not only that, but many are searching for recitations that combine blessed Surahs, specifically from Al-Baqarah and An-Najm with the Maghrib Adhan, creating a complete spiritual scene just before Iftar.
A Saudi Voice Resonates from Australia.. Mahmoud Kirkukiyya in Sydney
In a scene reflecting the spread of the authentic Saudi voice around the world, the name of the reciter Mahmoud Kirkukiyya topped search trends in the past hours. The story goes back to a newly spread recording showing him calling the Maghrib Adhan from the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney, Australia. The recording, released last November, has made a powerful comeback during Ramadan, due to its high emotional quality and maqam touches that take you on a spiritual journey.
The beautiful thing is that Kirkukiyya is not just a passing muezzin, but a voice that reinterprets Islamic heritage with authentic eastern maqamat. Recently, he released several works, including educational clips on the Adhan in all vocal maqamat, and recitations of Surahs like Al-Baqarah and Ayat al-Kursi, making him a familiar name in Saudi households during this month.
Priceless Moments: What Do Saudis Do Before Maghrib?
On these days of Ramadan, the pace of life changes before Maghrib. Everyone is waiting. A scene brings the family together around the table, children holding water jugs, and everyone listening to the sound of the Adhan. This year, we notice a growing interest in following muezzins from different parts of the world, not only in the Two Holy Mosques, but extending to Saudi voices abroad like Kirkukiyya, or rare recordings from the Haram. This diversity provides a broader space for contemplation and feeling the unity of the Islamic nation at the moment of Iftar.
