Re: SomeOne Tell Me

The explanation below is prettey clear, hope it helps InshAllah.

4 – **The time of ‘Isha **

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The time for ‘Isha’ lasts until midnight.”

So the time for ‘Isha’ begins immediately after the time for Maghrib ends (i.e., when the red afterglow disappears from the sky) until midnight.

Question: how do we calculate when midnight is?

Answer: if you want to calculate when midnight is, then calculate the time between sunset and sunrise then divide it in half; that halfway point is the end of the time for praying ‘Isha’ (and that is midnight).

So if the sun sets at 5 p.m., and Fajr begins at 5 a.m., then midnight is 11 p.m. If the sun sets at 5 p.m. and Fajr begins at 6 p.m., then midnight is 11.30 p.m., and so on.

Peace meherealone

The stars form an arc in the sky as the night lives. Look for a star near the horizon and follow it until it rises no more when it begin to go back down again it has just past midnight … similar to high noon for the sun, but in the night instead.

These star trail picture gives you an idea …

Re: SomeOne Tell Me

:hmmm: there could be 2 possibilities

  1. either in olden times midnight meant v.v. late
  2. or Isha prayers can be offered v.v. late

then wouldn’t it be 00.00 (a.m)as midnight
just as 12. noon is mid-day

Re: SomeOne Tell Me

Yes, however if you pray after, i believe you complete the fardh, but do not get the reward for praying it on time?

Re: SomeOne Tell Me

i am not sure about others .... just talkin about myself, the way i pray i wonder if i will get rewarded for any of my prayers ( late or early ). I hope that they will accpeted, just because ALLAH is so Mehrbaan and Raheem and he loves us soo much that he will accept my prayers. Other wise my prayers r not worth Acceptence !!!!!! May ALLAH be extra exrta extra genourous when he accept our prayers Ameeen
