Duha

07:58 – 12:17From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:17)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:43), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:17) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:40). 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 Rastede with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Berlin

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

Rastede, the Sun and the clock

Rastede is in Lower Saxony and has about 20,000 people. The nearest larger city is Oldenburg, 12 km to the south. Rastede lies 6.8° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 27 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:27, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:27.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Rastede: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 60° above the horizon in June and only 13° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Rastede range from just 7h 31m in December to 16h 59m in June, a difference of 9h 28m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
