Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Melun

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

Islamic midnight

23:58Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

02:13Until Fajr at 06:45

Ishraq

08:11About 15 minutes after sunrise (07:56)

Duha

08:11 – 12:34From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:34)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:56), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:34) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:11). 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 Melun 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. Melun 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

Melun, the Sun and the clock

Melun is in Ile-de-France and has about 39,000 people. Melun lies 12.3° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 49 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:49, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:49.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Melun: 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 Melun range from just 8h 17m in December to 16h 8m in June, a difference of 7h 51m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Melun 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 Melun, calculated with the same method.
