Prayer Times in Zhengzhou, China

Zhengzhou, hour by hour

There are around 10 hours and 12 minutes between Isha and Fajr in Zhengzhou just now. The whole timetable below follows the same movement — as the nights lengthen, every time on the page moves with them.

Suhoor and iftar in Zhengzhou

Stop eating by 5:16 am; break the fast at 5:34 pm. That is about 12 hours and 18 minutes on today's times. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

What changes between summer and winter

Zhengzhou sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.

For tahajjud

Between Isha at 7:04 pm and Fajr at 5:16 am there are about 10 hours and 12 minutes. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn west, about 280°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 7,238 kilometres (4,498 miles) away in a straight line. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

How the times are worked out

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.
