Prayer Times in Zalău, Romania

What these times mean for Zalău

The times below are worked out for Zalău itself, from the city's own coordinates (47.19° N, 23.06° E). It is a small distinction that matters in practice: the sun does not arrive everywhere in a country at once.

For tahajjud

Zalău gets roughly 10 hours and 34 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.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 5:20 am to 5:16 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 11 hours and 56 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The yearly swing

The yearly swing here is substantial. In June, Fajr in Zalău can fall in the small hours with Isha holding off until late evening; in December the whole day from Fajr to Isha is over in a short span. Check the monthly timetable rather than assuming last season's times still hold.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr is at 5:20 am — early, and in darkness. By 7:06 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 12:11 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:31 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:16 pm, and Isha closes the day at 6:46 pm. Around 10 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, all told.

Lining up with the Kaaba

The qibla from here runs south-south-east, a bearing of about 146°. The distance works out to about 3,237 kilometres, or 2,012 miles. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.
