About these times

Fajr begins at dawn and Sunrise ends the Fajr window. Dhuhr is after the sun passes its highest point, Asr is in the afternoon, Maghrib is at sunset, and Isha begins when the evening twilight ends.
Local mosques may announce slightly different times. If your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow it.
