Today in Sint-Niklaas: Fajr 4:33 AM, sunrise 6:44 AM, Dhuhr 1:46 PM, Asr 5:37 PM, Maghrib 8:47 PM and Isha 10:49 PM. All times are for Sint-Niklaas's own coordinates in the Europe/Brussels timezone, calculated by the Muslim World League method.
Fajr begins at 4:33 AM in Sint-Niklaas today and ends at sunrise, 6:44 AM. During Ramadan, sehri ends at 4:30 AM — a few minutes before Fajr, as printed calendars have it.
Dhuhr begins at 1:46 PM in Sint-Niklaas today, once the sun has passed its highest point, and lasts until Asr at 5:37 PM.
Asr begins at 5:37 PM in Sint-Niklaas today and lasts until Maghrib at 8:47 PM. This page uses the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position; the other reckoning gives a different time — see the question below.
Maghrib begins at 8:47 PM in Sint-Niklaas today, at sunset, and lasts until Isha at 10:49 PM. In Ramadan this is also when the fast is broken.
Isha begins at 10:49 PM in Sint-Niklaas today. Islamic midnight falls at 1:46 AM, and the preferred time for Isha ends there.
The last third of the night in Sint-Niklaas begins at 1:59 AM tonight and runs until Fajr at 4:33 AM, which is the most virtuous time for Tahajjud. Islamic midnight is 1:46 AM.
Sehri ends at 4:30 AM in Sint-Niklaas and iftar is at 8:47 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 Sint-Niklaas today: While the sun rises (6:44 AM – 6:59 AM); When the sun is at its highest (1:36 PM – 1:46 PM); While the sun sets (8:32 PM – 8:47 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Sint-Niklaas today, Asr begins at 5:37 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 6:37 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 Muslim World League method with the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) 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 Sint-Niklaas's coordinates and the Europe/Brussels 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 Sint-Niklaas is 123.5° measured clockwise from true north, which is towards the south-east. Compass apps show magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places.
