The fasting day in Tostedt

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:13 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 4:55 pm. Around 11 hours and 42 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Through the year

There is a caveat to the summer timetable in Tostedt. For several weeks around the solstice the sun does not dip deep enough for a true Fajr or Isha, and the calculated values become estimates. Local scholarly guidance takes over in that period.

The direction of prayer

Face south-east — roughly 132° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 4,366 kilometres, or 2,713 miles. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

From Fajr to Isha

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:13 am today. The sun appears at 7:14 am, which ends the Fajr period. Next is Dhuhr at 12:05 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:05 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 4:55 pm; Isha is the last, at 6:25 pm. That is some 9 hours and 41 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.
