The new day according to the solar calendar. Today, in sha Allah, the sun will set at -5.06° below the horizon. On some days this year, the sun will not descend more than -5.05°.
Ishaa prayer 90 minutes after sunset (wrong).
The Ishaa prayer 90 minutes after sunset (Maghrib) is only valid if it occurs after the Ishaa of 17°. The shortest and longest time between Maghrib and Ishaa this year are 78 and 173 minutes.
Fajr prayer 90 minutes (wrong)
The Fajr prayer 90 minutes before sunrise (Shuruk) is valid if it occurs after the time of 18°. However, it is not correct to begin fasting at this time. The shortest and longest times between Fajr and Shuruk this year are 78 and 173 minutes.
Fajr MWL according to Ijtihad
At this time of year, the sun only descends -5.06° below the horizon, and there is no true Fajr. Therefore, prayer time is calculated according to the Ijtihad method, in accordance with the fatwa of the Muslim World League.
Shuruk (sunrise) MWL with precautionary measures implemented
The sun should now be just below the horizon, but if you are on a mountain peak, it may become visible earlier. To account for this, this schedule adds 2 minutes to the calculated time for sunrise as a precaution. It is considered risky not to complete the prayer before the end of this adjusted time.
Shuruk (sunrise)
Sunrise by calculation. In most cases, it would already be too late for the Fajr prayer.
Ḍuhā time
Ḍuhā begins when the Sun is elevated one spear length, and lasts until Istiwāʾ. This is also the time of the ʿĪd prayer.
The Forbidden Time at Solar Noon
When the sun's disk is at its zenith, the time during which voluntary prayers are forbidden begins. This period lasts until the start of Dhuhr.
Dhuhr
The Dhuhr prayer begins after the sun's disk has passed the zenith (highest point) and started to descend. It ends with the beginning of the Asr prayer time (the afternoon prayer).
Dhuhr with precautionary measures implemented
According to a fatwa by the MWL, 2 minutes are added as a precaution to the Dhuhr prayer.
Dhuhr According to the Shadow Length Method
According to this opinion, the Dhuhr prayer begins as soon as the shadow starts to lengthen again after the sun has reached its highest point. The prayer time thus begins when the shadow has extended by the smallest measurable amount, for example, 1 mm.
Asr
Asr begins when the shadow of an object is equal to its actual length plus the length of its shadow at the time of Dhuhr.
Asr with Implemented Precautionary Measures
According to the MWL fatwa, 2 minutes are added to the Asr prayer time as a safety measure.
Asr (Hanafi)
Asr, according to one opinion in the Hanafi madhhab, begins when the shadow of an object becomes twice its actual length plus the length of its shadow during the Dhuhr prayer. It is noteworthy that this is just one opinion of the Hanafi madhhab. Not all Hanafis share this opinion. Countries like Turkey do not use this method.
End of Asr
The end of the Asr prayer occurs when the sunlight turns reddish and one can look directly at the sun with the naked eye. It is considered sinful to delay the prayer beyond this point. However, it remains obligatory to perform the Asr prayer until the time of the Maghrib prayer. In emergency situations, the prayer can still be performed after this time without it being considered a sin.
Maghrib
Sunset through calculation and thus the new day according to the Islamic calendar. In many cases, it would be too early to pray and too early to break the fast.
Maghrib with Implemented Precautionary Measures
According to the MWL fatwa, 2 minutes are added to the Maghrib prayer time as a safety measure.
Midnight
The new day according to the solar calendar. Today, in sha Allah, the sun will set at -5.07° below the horizon. On some days this year, the sun will not descend lower than -5.05°.
Ishaa MWL according to Ijtihad
At this time of year, the sun only descends -5.06° below the horizon, and there is no true Ischaa. Therefore, prayer time is calculated according to the Ijtihad method, in accordance with the fatwa of the Muslim World League.
Islamic Midnight
The end of the Ishaa time. Islamic midnight refers to the midpoint between sunset (Maghrib) and dawn (Fajr). The midpoint between 11:52 PM and 2:49 AM is 1:21 AM. In northern latitudes the Ishaa in summer can be after the islamic midnight. In this case, Ishaa time extends until Fajr.
The last third of the night is considered a time of great importance in Islam and should be increasingly utilized for worship and supplication.
The Islamic night begins with Maghrib (11:52 PM) and ends with Fajr (2:49 AM). Therefore, this time refers to the period from 1:51 AM to Fajr.
Isha ends with Fajr (Ijtihad)
In the north, the Islamic midnight (1:21 AM) can occur on some days after isha. Should this case occur, or if there is no longer enough time to perform isha before midnight, isha will be extended until Fajr.
