Prayer Times in An Naslah

Sunrise

Shurooq is the time of sunrise, the time when the upper limb of the sun just starts to appear above the horizon. This marks the end time for Fajr (morning) prayer.

Qiyam

The term Qiyam-ul-layl, in the most literal sense, means to stand during the night. It is a voluntary prayer which is offered between the time of Ishaa prayer and the Fajr prayer (before dawn). But the most preferred time is before sunrise, in the last third of the night.

The difference between Standard and Hanafi (Juristic Methods)

The only difference is in the Asr prayer. In the standard method (which is used by Imamas Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki) the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height, whereas in the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height.

Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. eSalah is adjusting daylight savings automatically according to your location.

Latitude and Longitude

To calculate the prayer times for a given location, we need to know the latitude and longitude of your current city or town, along with the local timezone for that location. eSalah automatically detects the longitude, latitude, and timezone of your current city or town. If you notice any difference in prayer timings according to your current location, please confirm the latitude and longitude first. You can also use our "Change Settings" option to update the latitude, longitude, and timezone of your current location. You can access this option by clicking on the "Settings" link in the top search bar on the right-hand side or from the "Today Prayer Times" card.
