- 23:09Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr
- Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:40), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:47) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:52).

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

Ramadan timetable for MercedMerced, the Sun and the clock
Merced is in California and has about 82,000 people. The nearest larger city is Modesto, 59 km to the northwest. Merced lies almost on the 120° W 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 Merced: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 76° above the horizon in June and only 29° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Merced range from 9h 35m in December to 14h 44m in June, a difference of 5h 9m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
