The last third of the night in Ram Lakshman begins at 1:01 AM tonight and runs until Fajr at 4:20 AM, which is the most virtuous time for Tahajjud. Islamic midnight is 12:00 AM.
Sehri ends at 4:17 AM in Ram Lakshman and iftar is at 6:23 PM. Sehri ends when Fajr begins; the time shown subtracts a few minutes as a precaution, which is the common practice in printed Ramadan calendars.
Voluntary prayer is withheld during three short windows in Ram Lakshman today: While the sun rises (5:38 AM – 5:53 AM); When the sun is at its highest (11:50 AM – 12:00 PM); While the sun sets (6:08 PM – 6:23 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Ram Lakshman today, Asr begins at 3:26 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 4:32 PM by the Hanafi position. The standard position starts Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length; the Hanafi position waits until twice its length. Both are transmitted positions, and the gap between them changes with the season and the latitude.
These times use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method with the Hanafi position for Asr. The method sets the sun-depression angles for Fajr and Isha; different methods can differ by several minutes, which is why the one in use is named on the page rather than left implicit.
They are computed astronomically from Ram Lakshman's coordinates and the Asia/Dhaka timezone, and are typically within a minute or two of a local mosque timetable. Where they differ, your mosque is the one to follow — it may apply a local precaution this calculation does not.
The Qibla from Ram Lakshman is 278.9° measured clockwise from true north, which is towards the west. Compass apps show magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places.
