Fajr time has no single number
Most people search for one number: "What time is Fajr?" The honest answer is that it depends on where you are and on today's date. At Fajr, Riyadh and Jeddah are twenty minutes or more apart, and in the same city Fajr can move by more than an hour from one month to another.
How Fajr is calculated with the Umm al Qura method
Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are worked out from where the sun visibly is, so methods largely agree on them. Fajr is different: it is calculated from how far the sun sits below the horizon, and that is where the methods part ways:
- Umm al Qura uses 18.5 degrees for Fajr.
- Other authorities use 15, 17.5 or 19 degrees, which moves Fajr a few minutes earlier or later.
That alone explains why two apps can show you two different times and both are "right" by their own method.
When does Fajr time end?
It ends at sunrise. The gap between the two runs from about an hour and a quarter to an hour and three quarters, depending on the season and where you are. So if you wake at 5:20 for a Fajr whose adhan was at 4:37, you have not missed it, but almost half of it went by while you slept.
That is the practical difference between a reminder that arrives on time and one that arrives "around" the time. A late reminder is fine for "drink water". Prayer cannot take it.
Knowing the time is one thing, catching it is another
The tool above solves half the problem: you know your time today. The other half is a reminder that reaches you tomorrow and every day after without you opening a page.
That is what the Saeed app does: prayer times and qibla direction calculated from your location and updated every day, and an alarm that rings with the adhan, not after it, for whichever prayers you choose. Alongside them is the full text of the morning and evening adhkar.
Adhan times for the other prayers
Each prayer has a rule of its own:
Questions about Fajr time
When is Fajr today?
It depends on where you are and on today's date, so no single number works for everyone. The tool above calculates it from your location with the Umm al Qura method and shows you today's exact time, with a countdown to the next prayer.
When does Fajr time end?
It ends at sunrise, not beyond it. The gap between the adhan and sunrise runs from about an hour and a quarter to an hour and three quarters, depending on the season and where you are. So if you get up at 5:20 for a Fajr that came in at 4:37, almost half of the time has gone while you slept, yet the prayer is still within its time.
Why does Fajr time differ from one app to another?
Because Fajr is calculated from how far the sun is below the horizon, and each authority uses its own angle. Umm al Qura uses 18.5 degrees for Fajr while others use 15 or 19, so the results differ by minutes. Saeed uses Umm al Qura, the method followed in Saudi Arabia.
What is the difference between Fajr and imsak?
Imsak is a precaution a few minutes before Fajr that some people keep in Ramadan, while the fast itself begins with the Fajr adhan. Saeed shows you your Fajr, and Ramadan mode gives you your Ramadan timetable from the same calculation.
