Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Maghrib time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in Fordham.

What time is Maghrib today in Fordham?
Maghrib in Fordham, United States begins today (Friday, August 14, 2026) at 19:56 local time (America/New_York), the moment the sun fully sets. The window closes at the start of Isha at 21:26.
How long is the Maghrib window?

Can Maghrib be combined with Isha?

What dua is recommended at the moment of Maghrib?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught the dua of breaking fast (which applies in Ramadan): "Dhahaba al-zama'u wabtallat al-'uruq wa thabata al-ajru in sha' Allah" — "Thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is established, God willing" (Abu Dawud).
How does today's Maghrib time in Fordham compare to the same date last year?
On this same date one year ago, Maghrib in Fordham was at 19:55 local time. Today it is at 19:56, which is 1 minutes later. This year-over-year drift reflects the gradual shift of the solar year and is the reason prayer times are recomputed astronomically every day rather than read from a static table.
