Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Rotterdam, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.
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 12:28) 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 Rotterdam with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Across 2026, Fajr in Rotterdam moves between 04:19 and 06:45, and Maghrib between 16:31 and 22:06. The longest fasting day, dawn to sunset, is 17h 46m on 18 June; the shortest is 9h 51m on 19 December.
Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Rotterdam 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

Ramadan timetable for RotterdamRotterdam is in South Holland and has about 870,000 people. Rotterdam lies 10.5° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 42 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:42, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:42.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Rotterdam: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 62° above the horizon in June and only 15° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Rotterdam range from just 7h 45m in December to 16h 43m in June, a difference of 8h 58m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
The English Wikipedia article on Rotterdam gives Islam a share of 13.1% in 2013 and about 80,000 Muslims, or 13% of the population, in 2010; the Netherlands does not run a religious census, so these are survey-based estimates. Origin figures from 2025, counted by parents' country of birth, show 51,667 residents with Surinamese roots, 49,214 with Turkish roots and 47,260 with Moroccan roots. Those figures describe origin and not religion, but the Turkish and Moroccan groups are the ones that shaped the city's mosques. Ahmed Aboutaleb became mayor of Rotterdam after serving as state secretary, and Wikipedia describes him as one of the first Muslims in a Dutch cabinet.
Two mosques stand out. The Mevlana Mosque in the north-west of the city was built in 2001, has two minarets of 33.8 metres, is named after the poet Rumi and serves mainly Turkish-Dutch Muslims. The Essalam Mosque was opened on 18 December 2010 by Mayor Aboutaleb. A report in VH magazine, reproduced by the Moroccan council CCME in January 2011, says it took seven years to build because local opposition repeatedly halted the work, and that it was largely financed by the Al-Maktoum Foundation of the United Arab Emirates. It has two minarets of 50 metres, three floors with a men's hall of 2,000 square metres, a women's floor, a library and a school support centre. Sources disagree on its capacity: that report cites Belgian broadcaster RTL Info for up to 3,000 people, while Wikipedia's Rotterdam article gives 1,500.
For prayer times, Rotterdam lies at about 51.9 degrees north and keeps Central European Time, with clocks one hour forward in summer. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Rotterdam lasts about 18 hours on 21 June and 10 hours on 21 December. Each mosque sets its own congregation times.
