How these times are calculated
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee Worldwide
- Fajr
- 18° with seasonal adjustment
- Isha
- seasonal twilight (shafaq)
- Highlighted Asr
- Hanafi (shadow twice the length)
UK times use the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method. In summer, cities above 55 degrees north, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule for Fajr and Isha because true twilight never ends there. Dhuhr is shown 5 minutes after solar noon and Maghrib 3 minutes after sunset, following the method's guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does Accrington highlight?
Accrington highlights the Hanafi time, which falls later than the Standard time. Both are in the timetable, and a toggle changes which is highlighted. Use the one that matches the school you follow or what your mosque announces.
How many mosques are near Accrington?
OpenStreetMap lists 30 mosques within 15 km of the city centre. The map is volunteer-maintained and may be incomplete. For congregation times, use each mosque's own timetable rather than the calculated start times.
How big is the gap between the longest and shortest fast in Accrington?
The longest fast, 19h 10m on 20 June, is about ten hours longer than the shortest, 9h 11m on 19 December. In round terms the summer fast is twice the winter one.
Why is Fajr so early in Accrington in June?
Accrington is at 53.8 degrees north, where the sun dips only a short way below the horizon on a midsummer night. Dawn twilight therefore starts early, and Fajr is 2:37 AM on 18 June.
