Prayer Times in Huainan, China

The prayer day in Huainan

What changes between summer and winter

Across the year the Huainan 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.

Today's timetable

Fajr opens the day at 5:02 am, well before first light. You have until 6:27 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:56 am; Asr comes round at 3:46 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:24 pm, and Isha closes the day at 6:54 pm. Around 10 hours and 57 minutes of daylight, all told.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 282°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 7,591 km — 4,717 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

How the times are worked out

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Ramadan timings

The fasting day here runs 5:02 am to 5:24 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 22 minutes. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
