Why Fajr Times Differ
- Sun’s Position / Twilight:
The Fajr prayer commences early in the morning (in Arabic al-Fajr al-Sadiq), when there is sufficient light to distinguish a line of light across the horizon, not just after the false dawn. The exact point that occurs depends on the latitude, time of year, and atmospheric conditions.
2. Calculation Methods:
Different conventions are used by different countries or regions. Some use 18 degrees, some use 19.5 degrees for the angle of the sun below the horizon, while still others use slightly different offsets. These change when the visible light of dawn is considered insufficient. Thus, what is taken into consideration is the “dawn” in one city may occur a few minutes earlier or later in another.
3. Latitude / Season:
When we move further north or south, or due to a change in seasons, dawn comes earlier or later. There is a certain shift in Fajr timings when days lengthen or shorten.
4. Local Time Zones & Daylight Saving:
When a country observes DST or has recently changed its policies, there is a shift in the clock timings. Also, local administrative choices (for example, aligning with certain religious authorities) can affect what is officially used.
What Muslims Keep in Mind
- Fajr should be observed within its prescribed time – that is, after dawn begins, and before sunrise. It is not valid to pray after sunrise during Fajr.
- The exact local time is checked by many people using phone apps, mosque announcements, or printed schedules since small differences matter.
- The last part of the night before Fajr is observed by some people as Tahajjud or Qiyam-ul-Lail, especially in Ramadan.
