Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Abu Dhabi, 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 06:34), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:10) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:39). 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 Abu Dhabi with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Ramadan timetable for Abu DhabiAbu Dhabi is the capital, home to about 1,800,000 people. Abu Dhabi lies 5.6° west of the 60° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 22 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:22, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Abu Dhabi: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 89° above the horizon in June and only 42° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Abu Dhabi range from 10h 37m in December to 13h 39m in June, a difference of 3h 2m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is home to the country's largest mosque. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was built between 1994 and 2007 and inaugurated in December 2007. It holds over 40,100 worshippers, with a main prayer hall for over 7,000 and two smaller halls for 1,500 each, one of them the women's prayer hall. It has 82 domes in seven sizes, the tallest with an outer height of 85 metres, four minarets of about 104 metres, over 1,000 columns and white marble throughout, with a courtyard of floral marble mosaic of about 17,000 square metres.
The mosque is known for its interior. Its carpet covers 5,627 square metres and was made with about 2.27 billion knots, which some consider the world's largest, seven chandeliers come from Munich, the largest 10 metres in diameter and 15 metres tall, and the 99 names of God appear in Kufic calligraphy on the qibla wall. The lighting is designed to reflect the phases of the moon. The founder, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who died in 2004, is buried in its courtyard. A library occupies the north-east minaret, and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center works from the west minarets. Visitors have included Queen Elizabeth II and several heads of government.
In Abu Dhabi the federal General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf) oversees the Sunni mosques, and the government funds the mosques and employs their imams. Abu Dhabi lies at 24.5 degrees north and keeps UTC+4 without daylight saving. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Abu Dhabi lasts about 15 hours on 21 June and 12 hours on 21 December. The sun rises about eight minutes later than in Fujairah on the east coast. This site uses the Dubai method for the Emirates, and congregation times are set by each mosque.
