Fajr

The morning prayer before dawn, when the sky begins to brighten but the sun’s disk has not yet appeared above the horizon. Fajr time starts with astronomical dawn (when the sun is 15–18° below the horizon) and lasts until sunrise.

Sunrise

The moment the upper limb of the sun’s disk appears above the horizon. This signals the end of Fajr time — for a few minutes after sunrise it is discouraged to perform additional Sunnah or voluntary prayers to avoid overlapping with the phases of the rising sun.

Dhuhr

The midday prayer, beginning immediately after the sun passes the zenith (its highest point) and lasting until the start of the Asr period.

Asr

The afternoon prayer, calculated by the length of an object’s shadow: in most schools Asr begins when the shadow equals the object’s height (in the Hanafi school, twice its height) and continues until sunset.

Sunset

The moment when the upper limb of the sun’s disk completely disappears below the horizon. International astronomical standards mark sunset at this point (accounting for atmospheric refraction). This is the final signal that Asr time has ended and the evening prayer is approaching.

Maghrib

The evening prayer performed immediately after sunset. Maghrib time ends with the disappearance of the red glow on the horizon (civil twilight).

Isha

The night prayer, beginning after the disappearance of the last red and white streaks in the west (astronomical dusk). It usually starts when the sun is 17–18° below the horizon and lasts until midnight or dawn, depending on the school of thought.

Imsak

The pre-dawn fasting marker (Ramadan and other voluntary fasts). Imsak begins about 10–15 minutes before Fajr and signifies refraining from food, drink, and intimate relations until sunset.

Midnight

The astronomical midpoint of the night, calculated as the exact halfway point between sunset and dawn. In many traditions it is considered a particularly auspicious time for night prayers and sincere supplications.

First Third of the Night

The end of the first third of the night (the period from Maghrib to Fajr divided into three equal parts). It is regarded as a time for reflection and Quran recitation, when the quiet of night aids concentration.

Last Third of the Night

The beginning of the final third of the night, often considered the most blessed time for extra night prayers (Tahajjud) and special duʿās. Many believers wake at this hour for intensified spiritual practice.
