Ramadan prayer timetable and some questions
I decided to create this fasting timetable so that I always have it at hand and can easily check the times. It might also be interesting to my readers, but most importantly, it is useful for me. I obtained this information from a brochure published by our local mosque. I noticed that the brochure uses Kazan time. Honestly, I am not sure why they use Kazan time instead of my city’s local time. My city is not far from Kazan — it is about an hour and a half away — so the time difference should not be significant. Perhaps it is simply for convenience, similar to how Kazan follows Moscow time.
I also discussed which time I should follow with my uncle yesterday. He suggested a simple solution: to finish suhoor approximately ten to fifteen minutes before the official deadline. I completely agree with him, as this seems to be the most practical way to avoid any uncertainty. However, it is still challenging for me because I either need to wake up earlier or stay awake until suhoor.
Another question concerns the dua for iftar and when it should be recited — before or after breaking the fast. I have seen different practices. Some people recite the dua first and then begin eating, while others take the first bite and then recite the dua. I have my own reasoning about this. If the dua is in the past tense, such as “I have completed my fast,” then it makes sense to eat first. If it is phrased in the present tense, such as “I am finishing my fast,” then it seems logical to recite it before eating. Of course, these are only my personal observations.

Ramadan prayer timetable for Kazan time and some understandable questions
I decided to make this timetable for fasting times so that I always have it at hand and I could easily find it. Maybe it can be interesting for my readers, and of course, it's useful for me. I got this data from our local mosque brochure. I noticed that the brochure uses Kazan time. Honestly, I don't know why they're using the Kazan time instead of my city's time. Probably it's related to my city's location. Because my city is not so far from Kazan, it's about 1.5 hours, and the time shouldn't be so different. It's like Kazan using Moscow time for convenience.
About this understandable situation, what time I need to use I also discussed with my uncle yesterday. He recommended to me just a simple solution. Finish suhoor approximately ten to fifteen minutes before the deadline time. I one hundred percent agree with him, and it's the best solution to solve this issue. However, it's still challenging for me, because I need to wake up earlier or just not go to bed until suhoor.
The next question is about dua and what time I need to read dua for iftar. Before the meal or after the meal, so I have a few versions of dua. Unfortunately, I don't know, and I don't have the right solutions for this question. I saw many cases about it. Someone first reads the dua and after starts the meal. Someone eats first and then reads the dua. But, I have some ideas, to follow my dua. If my dua says to me, “I've finished my fast” in the past tense, should eat first. If the dua says to me in the present tense, "I'm finishing my fast", then I should read the dua first. Of course, it's just my observations.
