Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Rayleigh

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

Islamic midnight

22:54Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

01:08Until Fajr at 05:37

Ishraq

07:29About 15 minutes after sunrise (07:14)

Duha

07:29 – 11:47From Ishraq until Dhuhr (11:47)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:14), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:47) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:12). 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 Rayleigh 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. Rayleigh 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

Rayleigh, the Sun and the clock

Rayleigh is in England and has about 32,000 people. The nearest larger city is Southend-on-Sea, 9 km to the southeast. Rayleigh 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 11:58 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:58.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Rayleigh: 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 Rayleigh range from just 7h 49m in December to 16h 39m in June, a difference of 8h 50m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.

Maghrib time Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh, calculated with the same method.
