Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Chartres

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

Islamic midnight

00:02Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

02:18Until Fajr at 06:49

Ishraq

08:15About 15 minutes after sunrise (08:00)

Duha

08:15 – 12:38From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:38)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 08:00), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:38) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:16). 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 Chartres with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Paris

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Chartres 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

Chartres, the Sun and the clock

Chartres is in Centre-Val de Loire and has about 44,000 people. The nearest larger city is Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, 53 km to the northeast. Chartres lies 13.5° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 54 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:54, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:54.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Chartres: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 65° above the horizon in June and only 18° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Chartres range from just 8h 18m in December to 16h 7m in June, a difference of 7h 49m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Chartres compared with nearby cities
