Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Yellowknife

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

Duha

10:05 – 13:23From Ishraq until Dhuhr (13:23)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 09:50), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 13:23) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:53). 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 Yellowknife with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

8 MarchAmerica/Edmonton

Yellowknife does not change its clocks; times stay on America/Edmonton all year. Yellowknife 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

Yellowknife, the Sun and the clock

Yellowknife is the main city of Northwest Territories, home to about 20,000 people. Yellowknife lies 9.4° west of the 105° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 37 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:37, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:37.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Yellowknife: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 51° above the horizon in June and only 4° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Yellowknife range from just 4h 57m in December to 20h 0m in June, a difference of 15h 3m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Yellowknife 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 Yellowknife, calculated with the same method.
