Prayer Times in Rajākheri, India

Rajākheri, hour by hour

The night in Rajākheri runs about 9 hours and 52 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:08 pm to Fajr at 5:00 am. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

Finding the qibla

From this city the direction is west, or 274° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 3,995 kilometres (2,482 miles) away in a straight line.

How much the times move

Across the year the Rajākheri 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.

How the day runs in Rajākheri

Fajr is at 5:00 am — early, and in darkness. By 6:19 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 11:59 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:02 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:38 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:08 pm. That gives Rajākheri roughly 11 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today.

Isha to Fajr

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 52 minutes at the moment. 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.

Fasting hours

Suhoor closes at 5:00 am in Rajākheri, with iftar at 5:38 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 38 minutes, going by today's figures. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The calculation behind them

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.
