Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Aalter, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.

Islamic midnight

23:33Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

01:44Until Fajr at 06:07

Duha

08:16 – 12:32From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:32)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 08:01), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:32) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:00). 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 Aalter with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Brussels

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Aalter is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. Fajr and Isha then use the seventh-of-the-night rule, a standard high latitude adjustment. How times are calculated

Aalter, the Sun and the clock

Aalter is in Flanders and has about 19,000 people. The nearest larger city is Gent, 19 km to the east-southeast. Aalter lies 11.6° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 46 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:46, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:46.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Aalter: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 62° above the horizon in June and only 15° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Aalter range from just 7h 54m in December to 16h 34m in June, a difference of 8h 40m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Aalter compared with nearby cities
