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, a time when tranquillity deepens in our hearts as we bid farewell to the last ten days.

Every city in our country has its own traditions, but the moment is one. According to the 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 Maghrib adhan is at 5:43 pm. For the people of Mecca, iftar time today, Saturday, falls at 6:30 pm, with those fasting gathering at the table of the Most Gracious immediately after Maghrib prayer.

The Night of 25 Ramadan: The Voice of Hashim As-Saqqaf Resonates in the Haram

The echo of the Maghrib adhan from the Grand Mosque by Sheikh Hashim As-Saqqaf has been reverberating widely for days. On the 8th of last Dhul Qa'dah, he led the worshippers and called the adhan with his melodious voice, and the recordings are still being shared widely with the advent of the last ten days. Not only that, but many are also searching for recitations that combine blessed Surahs, specifically from Al-Baqarah and An-Najm alongside the Maghrib adhan, creating a complete spiritual scene just before iftar.

A Saudi Voice Resonates from Australia: Mahmoud Kirkuki in Sydney

In a scene reflecting the reach of the authentic Saudi voice around the world, the name of the reciter Mahmoud Kirkuki has topped search trends in recent hours. The story goes back to a newly surfaced recording that spread widely, showing him calling the Maghrib adhan from the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney, Australia. The recording, which was released at the end of November last year, has forcefully returned to the forefront during Ramadan, due to its profound emotional quality and maqam-style touches that take you on a spiritual journey.

The beautiful thing is that Kirkuki is not just a passing mu'adhin; he is a voice that reinterprets Islamic heritage with authentic eastern maqamat. Recently, he released several works, including segments on teaching 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.

Precious Moments: What Do Saudis Do Before Maghrib?

During 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 small water jugs, and everyone listening to the sound of the adhan. This year, we notice a growing interest in following mu'adhins from different parts of the world, not only in the Two Holy Mosques, but extending to Saudi voices abroad like Kirkuki, or rare recordings from the Haram. This diversity provides a broader space for reflection and feeling the unity of the Islamic nation at the moment of iftar.
