Prayer Times in Alwāl, India

Alwāl prayer times explained

The night in Alwāl runs about 9 hours and 43 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:15 pm to Fajr at 4:58 am. The whole timetable below follows the same movement — as the nights lengthen, every time on the page moves with them.

What changes between summer and winter

Across the year the Alwāl 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.

If you are fasting

The fasting day here runs 4:58 am to 5:45 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 47 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Finding the qibla

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 283°. Makkah is around 4,069 kilometres (2,528 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.

Where these times come from

The underlying method is 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.

The shape of the day

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 4:58 am. You have until 6:14 am, when the sun comes up. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:00 pm, and Asr at 4:09 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:45 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:15 pm. Around 11 hours and 31 minutes of daylight, all told.
