Timeline of today's prayer times
Midnight
The new day according to the solar calendar. Today, in sha Allah, the sun will set at -50.07° below the horizon. On some days this year, the sun will not descend more than -37.39°.Fajr 19°
Under optimal conditions, the first faint light appears on the horizon, marking the beginning of the Fajr time. However, this astronomical phenomenon can vary depending on atmospheric conditions. As a result, the first light may appear anywhere between 19° and 18°. For this reason, it may still be too early for the Fajr prayer, and this time should only be used to start fasting. Until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Fajr was set at 19° below the horizon in almost all countries through observation and calculation. However, with the influence of Western astronomy and the neglect of Muslim research, Fajr was set at 18°, which had previously been a minority opinion in Islamic astronomy.Fajr MWL
Fasting begins with Fajr. However, as a precautionary measure, this method subtracts about 2 minutes from the calculated Fajr time for starting the fast. It's important to note that although this adjusted time allows for the commencement of fasting, it might be too early for performing the Fajr prayer.Fajr 18°
The true Fajr (18°) should now always be visible under optimal conditions without light pollution. Prayers performed after this time are considered valid. However, there is an opinion that one should wait a little longer after this time to be sure that the time has truly begun.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.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.Ishaa
The Ishaa prayer begins after the disappearance of the redness of the evening twilight. This occurs approximately when the sun is 17 degrees below the horizon. Ishaa ends with the Islamic midnight.Isha with Implemented Precautionary Measures
According to the MWL fatwa, 2 minutes are added to the Isha prayer time as a safety measure.Midnight
The new day according to the solar calendar. Today, in sha Allah, the sun will set at -49.73° below the horizon. On some days this year, the sun will not descend lower than -37.39°.Islamic Midnight
The end of the Ishaa time. Islamic midnight refers to the midpoint between sunset (Maghrib) and dawn (Fajr). The midpoint between 7:55 PM and 5:28 AM is 12:41 AM. In northern latitudes the Ishaa in summer can be after the islamic midnight. In this case, Ishaa time extends until Fajr.Missing translation (en-US) today.ishaaEnd.Mwl2007.Valid title
