Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Gouda

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

Islamic midnight

23:26Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

01:38Until Fajr at 06:02

Ishraq

08:14About 15 minutes after sunrise (07:59)

Duha

08:14 – 12:27From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:27)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:59), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:27) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:51). 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 Gouda with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Amsterdam

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

Gouda, the Sun and the clock

Gouda is in South Holland and has about 72,000 people. Gouda lies 10.3° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 41 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:41, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:41.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Gouda: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 61° above the horizon in June and only 15° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Gouda range from just 7h 44m in December to 16h 44m in June, a difference of 9h 0m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Gouda 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 Gouda, calculated with the same method.
