The new day according to the solar calendar. Today, in sha Allah, the sun will set at -17.24° below the horizon. On some days this year, the sun will not descend more than -11.7°.
Shuruk (sunrise) 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, many prayer schedules add 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.
Dhuhr
The Dhuhr prayer begins after the sun has passed its zenith (highest point) and started to decline. It ends with the beginning of the Asr prayer time (the afternoon prayer).
Dhuhr with precautionary measures implemented
Although the time for the Dhuhr prayer can be precisely calculated, it is recommended to perform the prayer slightly after this calculated time.
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 precautionary measures implemented
Although the time for the Asr prayer can be precisely calculated, it is recommended to perform the prayer slightly after this calculated time.
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 precautionary measures implemented
The sun should now be just below the horizon, but if you live on a mountain, it may still be visible. To account for this, many prayer schedules add 2 minutes as a precaution to the calculated time of Maghrib. It is considered risky to start the prayer or break the fast before the end of this adjusted time.
