Summary InformationMore
*** Details regarding prayer time calculations can be found in the More sections of each individual prayer time. ***
*** Positive Latitude indicates North of the Equator.
*** Positive Longitude indicates West of Greenwich.
*** Azimuth is measured in degrees clockwise from north.
*** Elevation is measured in degrees up from the horizon.
*** Shurooq time is the last minute before the upper limb of the sun breaks the sea-level horizon.
*** Maghrib time is the first minute after the upper limb of the sun drops below the sea-level horizon and the earth shadow, also known as the gray-band, appears on the eastern horizon.
*** Imsak is the recommended time to cease eating for a day of fasting. It occurs at false fajr which corresponds to Astronomical Twilight and commences when the sun has reached 18 altitudinal degrees below the sea-level horizon.
*** Subh prayer commences at true fajr which occurs when light spreads across the eastern horizon, also known as Nautical twilight and occurs when the sun is 12 altitudinal degrees below the sea-level horizon in urban areas. In wilderness areas, far from urban light pollution, ture fajr might be seen earlier when the sun is at 15 altitudinal degrees below the sea-level horizon. Choose the appropriate condition based on your location so that the calculated time for subh prayer can be verified through physical observation.
*** Dhuhur commences when the sun drops from its zenith, also known as Istiwaa, altitude. The drop can only be experienced by observing an increase in the zenith shadow. Traditionally this has been marked by the shadow increasing by either the width of a sandal strap, the width of a hand span, or the width of an individual's bare foot length.
*** Asr commences according to the Shafi'i/Maliki jurists of the shadow increasing by an object's height beyond the shadow at the start of Dhuhur, or double the object's height for the Hanafi jurists.
*** 'Isha prayer commences at the onset of Nautical Twilight after the sun has dropped 12 altitudinal degrees below the sea-level horizon according to the Maliki school and at Astronomical Twilight after the sun has dropped to 18 altitudinal degrees below the sea-level horizon for the other schools.
*** Time is reported in 24 Hour format, e.g. 1:00 pm given as 13:00.
*** Shadow Lengths based on 7 bare feet of any person standing upright. The average person's height is equal to the length of 7 of that person's bare feet.Hide
