Prayer Times in Paraibuna, Brazil

Paraibuna prayer times explained

Fajr 3:54 am, Maghrib 6:16 pm, Isha 7:46 pm — that is the shape of today in Paraibuna. Those times shift by a minute or two most days as the sun moves, and this page recalculates them every morning rather than holding a fixed list.

What changes between summer and winter

Across the year the Paraibuna timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

Elsewhere in Brazil

There are 50 more Brazil cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Paraibuna's. The list under the timetable below will take you to any of them.

Which way to face in Paraibuna

From this city the direction is east-north-east, or 69° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 10,503 kilometres (6,527 miles) away in a straight line.

The last third of the night

From Isha to Fajr is around 8 hours and 8 minutes at the moment. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

If you are fasting

Suhoor closes at 3:54 am in Paraibuna, with iftar at 6:16 pm. Roughly 14 hours and 22 minutes, going by today's figures. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

How the times are worked out

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Paraibuna today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 3:54 am, well before first light. By 5:17 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:46 am; Asr comes round at 4:21 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:16 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:46 pm. That gives Paraibuna roughly 12 hours and 59 minutes of daylight today.
