Prayer Times in Sinacaban, Philippines

About the times on this page

Sinacaban prays Fajr at 4:20 am today, with Maghrib at 5:23 pm and Isha at 6:53 pm. Each of them moves slightly from one day to the next; the page rebuilds daily, so what you see is current.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 27 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.

How much the times move

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

How the times are worked out

Calculations come from 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. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

The fasting day in Sinacaban

Suhoor closes at 4:20 am in Sinacaban, with iftar at 5:23 pm. Roughly 13 hours and 3 minutes, going by today's figures. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

The sun reaches its high point roughly 32 minutes before noon here. It explains the 11:28 am Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr opens the day at 4:20 am, well before first light. Sunrise at 5:33 am closes that window. Dhuhr follows at 11:28 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:45 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:23 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:53 pm. That gives Sinacaban roughly 11 hours and 50 minutes of daylight today.
