Day 16 of Ramadan: Check Today's Iftar Schedule in East Jakarta

Jakarta, Kompas.com – East Jakarta residents observing fasting on Friday, 6 March 2026, have entered the sixteenth day of Ramadhan 1447 Hijri. As dusk approaches, Muslims usually wait for the time to break the fast by referring to the imsakiyah schedule which guides Ramadhan activities. Each region has its own imsak schedule, including East Jakarta. Kompas.com provides information on imsak, breaking the fast, and prayer times daily until the end of Ramadhan. Here are the breaking-fast and prayer times for those in Jakarta: 16 Ramadhan 1447 H, Friday East Jakarta. The government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, set the start of fasting for 1 Ramadhan 1447 Hijri as falling on Thursday, 19 February 2026. This decision was taken after the Isbat session held at the Kemenag Office, Jakarta, on Tuesday afternoon, 17 February 2026, chaired by Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar. This year the start of Ramadhan was not synchronous, because Muhammadiyah began fasting on Wednesday, 18 February 2026. This difference does not diminish the validity of the worship, and all Muslims are urged to respect one another. The Isbat session involved various Islamic organisations, falak experts, and astronomical institutions, and was conducted with an integrated method of hisab and rukyatul hilal to maintain uniformity while respecting the differences in methods evolving in society.
