Zaria Prayer Times Today

Tahajjud time in Zaria tonight

The night in Zaria — from Maghrib at 18:28 to Fajr at 05:08 — lasts about 10 hr 40 min. The last third of the night, the most virtuous time for Tahajjud (the voluntary night prayer), begins around 01:35. Islamic midnight, the midpoint between Maghrib and Fajr, falls near 23:48. Tahajjud may be prayed any time after Isha (19:34) until Fajr.

How Zaria prayer times change in September

Across September, Fajr in Zaria moves from 05:08 on the 1st to 05:08 by the 30th (stays about the same), while Maghrib shifts from 18:39 to 18:20 (about 19 minutes earlier). The earliest Fajr this month is about 05:08 and the latest Maghrib around 18:39. Daytime hours grow shorter through the month, so the September table above refreshes every day.

About prayer times in Zaria

These are the five daily prayer (namaz) times for Zaria, Nigeria - Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset and Isha at night. Each azan (adhan) is called at the start of these times, and the five together are called salah (salat).

Zaria's times are calculated from the sun's position for the city's coordinates (11.0855, 7.7199) each day, in the Africa/Lagos timezone, using the Muslim World League method - a global standard used across much of the world. Because the calculation follows the sun, the exact minutes change a little every day. The Asr time shown uses the standard (Shafi) position; communities following the Hanafi school pray Asr later. For the precise start of Fajr and Isha, where twilight is gradual, follow your local Zaria mosque.
