Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Cairns
Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Cairns, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.
- Islamic midnight
- 23:22Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr
- Last third of the night (Tahajjud)
- 01:00Until Fajr at 04:16
- Ishraq
- 05:50About 15 minutes after sunrise (05:35)
- Duha
- 05:50 – 12:02From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:02)
Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 05:35), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:02) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 18:29). 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 Cairns with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Ramadan timetable for CairnsCairns, the Sun and the clock
Cairns is in Queensland and has about 150,000 people. Cairns lies 4.2° west of the 150° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 17 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:17, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
Cairns lies within the tropics. Around 2 February and 10 November the Sun passes straight overhead at Dhuhr, and upright objects cast almost no shadow at noon. Days in Cairns range from 11h 7m in June to 13h 8m in December, a difference of 2h 1m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Cairns 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 Cairns compared with nearby cities
Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Cairns, calculated with the same method.
