Salat Time Calculation (Salah, Prayer)

I- FAJR (Morning Twilight) starts with the dawn and ends before sunrise

II- ZUHR (Noon) begins after Midday when the trailing limb of the sun has passed the meridian. For convenience add few minutes (5/Five) to mid-day (zawal) to obtain the start of ZUHR. ZUHR ends at the start of ASR time.

III- ASR (Afternoon) timing of depends on the length of the shadow cast by an object.

According to the Maliki, Shafi`i & Hanbali school of jurisprudence, ASR begins when the length of the shadow of an object exceeds the length of the object. (Length of any object's shadow equals the length of the object itself plus the length of that object's shadow at noon)

According to the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, ASR begins when the length of the shadow exceeds TWICE the length of the object. (Length of any object's shadow is twice the length of the object plus the length of that object's shadow at noon)

ASR time ends at start of MAGHRIB time.

IV- MAGHRIB (Evening Twilight) begins at sunset and ends at the start of ISHA.

V- ISHA (Night) starts after dusk when the evening twilight disappears and end before time of FAJR.
