Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 05:44), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:41) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 19:37). The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.

The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Rockdale with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Clocks change on 5 April and 4 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated

Rockdale, the Sun and the clock

Rockdale is in New South Wales and has about 15,000 people. Rockdale lies 1.1° east of the 150° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 5 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:55, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:55.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Rockdale: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 79° above the horizon in December and only 33° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Rockdale range from 9h 53m in June to 14h 25m in December, a difference of 4h 32m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Rockdale is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then.

Maghrib time Rockdale compared with nearby cities
