Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Gelligaer

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

Islamic midnight

23:10Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

01:24Until Fajr at 05:53

Ishraq

Duha

07:45 – 12:02From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:02)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:30), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:02) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:27). 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 Gelligaer with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/London

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

Gelligaer, the Sun and the clock

Gelligaer is in Wales and has about 17,000 people. The nearest larger city is Rhondda, 13 km to the west. Gelligaer lies 3.3° west of the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 13 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:13, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:13.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Gelligaer: 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 Gelligaer range from just 7h 48m in December to 16h 40m in June, a difference of 8h 52m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
