Prayer Times in Leigh, United Kingdom

What these times mean for Leigh

Fajr 5:02 am, Maghrib 4:43 pm, Isha 6:13 pm — that is the shape of today in Leigh. They are not fixed — the sun moves them a little every day, and the page keeps up on its own.

The fasting day in Leigh

Stop eating by 5:02 am; break the fast at 4:43 pm. That is about 11 hours and 41 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.

Isha to Fajr

Leigh gets roughly 10 hours and 49 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

Season by season in Leigh

At this latitude, midsummer creates a real difficulty: the sky never fully darkens, so there is no moment when the sun sits far enough below the horizon to give a clear Fajr or Isha. Communities in places like Leigh generally follow a local ruling through those weeks — the nearest large mosque or Islamic centre will have guidance. The rest of the year the calculated times work as normal.

Qibla from Leigh

Turn east-south-east, about 118°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 5,042 kilometres (3,133 miles) away in a straight line.

From Fajr to Isha

The first call comes at 5:02 am, for Fajr. The window stays open until sunrise, 7:03 am. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:54 am; Asr comes round at 2:53 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 4:43 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 6:13 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 9 hours and 40 minutes.

Where these times come from

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. 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.
