Prayer Times in San Tomas, Philippines

Praying in San Tomas

As things stand today, the first prayer in San Tomas is at 4:39 am and the last at 6:58 pm. They are not fixed — the sun moves them a little every day, and the page keeps up on its own.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 41 minutes at the moment. 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.

Ramadan timings

Stop eating by 4:39 am; break the fast at 5:28 pm. That is about 12 hours and 49 minutes on today's times. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

From Fajr to Isha

The first call comes at 4:39 am, for Fajr. By 5:54 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 11:41 am, and Asr at 3:52 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:28 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 6:58 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 34 minutes.

How much the times move

Across the year the San Tomas 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.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn west-north-west, about 289°, for the qibla. That puts the Kaaba roughly 8,439 km — 5,244 miles — from here. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.
