Prayer Times in Madalag, Philippines

Nearby cities

Philippines has 25 other cities covered on this site. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

How much the times move

There is not much of a yearly swing here. Daylight hovers around twelve hours all year in Madalag, keeping the whole timetable within a narrow band.

A quirk of the timezone

The sun reaches its high point roughly 25 minutes before noon here. It explains the 11:35 am Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

A note on the method used

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. 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, 4:28 am today. You have until 5:42 am, when the sun comes up. Next is Dhuhr at 11:35 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:50 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:27 pm; Isha is the last, at 6:57 pm. That is some 11 hours and 45 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

For tahajjud

Between Isha at 6:57 pm and Fajr at 4:28 am there are about 9 hours and 31 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

If you are fasting

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:28 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:27 pm. Around 12 hours and 59 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
