- Islamic midnight
- 22:59Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr
- Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

- Ishraq
- 07:35About 15 minutes after sunrise (07:20)

The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Bedford with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Bedford is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. The Moonsighting Committee method then limits Fajr and Isha with its seasonal adjustment, a standard high latitude rule. How times are calculated

Ramadan timetable for BedfordBedford, the Sun and the clock
Bedford is in England and has about 110,000 people. The nearest larger city is Milton Keynes, 22 km to the west-southwest. Bedford lies almost on the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 12:02 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:02.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Bedford: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 61° above the horizon in June and only 14° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Bedford range from just 7h 43m in December to 16h 46m in June, a difference of 9h 3m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
