Prayer Times in Rāiganj Bāzār, India

The prayer day in Rāiganj Bāzār

The night in Rāiganj Bāzār runs about 9 hours and 57 minutes at the moment — Isha at 6:51 pm to Fajr at 4:48 am. The whole timetable below follows the same movement — as the nights lengthen, every time on the page moves with them.

The calculation behind them

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. 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, 4:48 am today. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:09 am. Dhuhr follows at 11:45 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:45 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:21 pm; Isha is the last, at 6:51 pm. That is some 11 hours and 12 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Through the year

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

Isha to Fajr

Rāiganj Bāzār gets roughly 9 hours and 57 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. 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.
