Maghrib Singapore Today: Official MUIS Time

Anyone who has ever tried to keep track of Maghrib time in Singapore knows it shifts by a few minutes each evening. Today, the official MUIS timetable puts Maghrib at 7:08 pm SGT — the same moment iftar begins for those fasting.

MUIS Maghrib today: 7:08 pm SGT ·
MUIS Subuh today: 5:43 am SGT ·
MUIS Zohor today: 1:05 pm SGT ·
Muslim Pro Isha today: 8:17 pm SGT ·
IslamicFinder Maghrib comparison: 7:09 pm SGT

Eight key facts summarise today’s official timings and the authority behind them.

What time is Maghrib in Singapore?

Official MUIS time today

The Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), the government‑appointed Islamic statutory board, publishes the authoritative prayer timetable. On its homepage and the Islamic calendar page, today’s Maghrib is listed as 7:08 pm SGT. This is the same time used for iftar during Ramadan.

MUIS also maintains a consolidated dataset on data.gov.sg that includes daily times for Subuh, Syuruk, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, and Isyak. The data is updated regularly — the consolidated file was last refreshed on 17 August 2026.

Muslim Pro vs IslamicFinder

Two popular prayer‑time aggregators also show Singapore timings. Muslim Pro displays Maghrib at 7:08 pm SGT and Isha at 8:17 pm SGT, matching MUIS exactly. IslamicFinder lists Maghrib at 7:09 pm SGT — a one‑minute difference.

Why the discrepancy? Different calculation methods (e.g., IslamicFinder uses a slightly different angle for sunset) produce small variations. For most practical purposes, the one‑minute gap is negligible, but if you want the most precise time for fasting, MUIS’s official timetable is the reference.

Why Maghrib moves daily

Maghrib time is tied to sunset. As the Earth orbits the sun, the length of daylight changes, pushing sunset a few minutes earlier or later each day. In Singapore, which is near the equator, the shift is relatively small — typically 1‑2 minutes per day — but it adds up across a month. That’s why a static time like “7:08 pm” is only valid for today; you need an updated timetable for tomorrow.

What time is iftar in Singapore today?

Iftar starts at Maghrib

During Ramadan, the fast is broken at sunset — which is Maghrib time. So today’s iftar begins at 7:08 pm SGT. The MUIS Islamic calendar page provides the annual Ramadan imsakiah (the schedule of fasting times), and the official MUIS dataset covers all prayer times for the entire year.

MUIS Ramadan imsakiah

MUIS publishes a dedicated imsakiah for Ramadan, including pre‑dawn (imsak) and break‑fast (iftar) times. A community‑shared Imsakiah Ramadan 1446H/2025M schedule for Singapore has circulated on social media, but the authoritative source remains the MUIS website. For the 2026 Ramadan timetable, MUIS has already made the 2026 Muslim Prayer Timetable available on data.gov.sg.

Is Singapore Sunni or Shia?

Sunni majority and Shafi‘i school

Singapore’s Muslim community is predominantly Sunni, and the Shafi‘i school of thought is the most widely followed. MUIS, as the official statutory board, aligns its religious guidance with the Sunni tradition, particularly the Shafi‘i madhhab. This influences everything from prayer times to the calculation of moon phases for Ramadan.

MUIS’s role

Established by the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA), MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura) is the body that certifies imams, manages mosque affairs, and — crucially — publishes the official prayer timetable. Its authority is statutory, which is why its times are considered the legal reference for all Muslims in Singapore.

What are the top 3 religions in Singapore?

2020 census ranking

According to the Singapore Department of Statistics (SingStat), the 2020 census shows that Buddhism is the largest religion, followed by Christianity. Islam is the third largest faith, with about 15.6% of the population identifying as Muslim. When “no religion” is counted as a category, it becomes the second‑largest group after Buddhism.

Where Islam fits

Islam is a significant minority religion in Singapore, and the state recognises it through official institutions like MUIS. The harmony between communities is maintained by the Presidential Council for Religious Harmony, but the prayer timetable itself is a purely practical matter: MUIS issues it for the entire Muslim community, regardless of sect.

What to pray for Singapore today?

Best prayer for today

The provided SERP does not include an official MUIS prayer text for Singapore. In Islamic practice, du‘a (personal supplication) is flexible and can be offered in any language. There is no single “best prayer” prescribed by the authorities for a specific day, though many Muslims recite the daily du‘a for forgiveness and guidance.

The powerful prayer question

Questions about “the powerful prayer that never fails” or “praying at 3AM” are theological and not addressed by official prayer timetables. The MUIS site focuses on practical schedules, not on efficacy of prayers. For guidance on du‘a and night prayers, it is best to consult a qualified imam or the MUIS religious guidance section.

Praying at 3AM and other timing questions

These PAAs stray far from the topic of Maghrib time. In brief, the Islamic tradition recommends the last third of the night (tahajjud time) as a spiritually potent period, but the prayer times published by MUIS cover the five obligatory prayers only. For any deeper theological questions, the official MUIS resources are the correct starting point.

How to check Maghrib time in Singapore

Three steps get you the most reliable time, every day.

1. Visit the MUIS homepage — muis.gov.sg shows the current day’s prayer times directly on the landing page. No need to navigate menus.
2. Check the Islamic calendar page — MUIS Islamic calendar links to the full PDF timetable for the year. Download it for offline reference.
3. Use a verified app — If you prefer an app, use one that explicitly sources from MUIS. Muslim Pro’s Singapore timings match MUIS today; IslamicFinder is off by one minute. Always cross‑check with the official source.

The implication: a single‑minute difference may not break your fast, but during Ramadan, when every second of precision matters for the pre‑dawn meal, the official MUIS schedule is the gold standard.
