Today in Aarau: Fajr 4:40 AM, sunrise 6:36 AM, Dhuhr 1:30 PM, Asr 5:20 PM, Maghrib 8:24 PM and Isha 10:13 PM. All times are for Aarau's own coordinates in the Europe/Zurich timezone, calculated by the Muslim World League method.
Fajr begins at 4:40 AM in Aarau today and ends at sunrise, 6:36 AM. During Ramadan, sehri ends at 4:37 AM — a few minutes before Fajr, as printed calendars have it.
Dhuhr begins at 1:30 PM in Aarau today, once the sun has passed its highest point, and lasts until Asr at 5:20 PM.
Asr begins at 5:20 PM in Aarau today and lasts until Maghrib at 8:24 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 8:24 PM in Aarau today, at sunset, and lasts until Isha at 10:13 PM. In Ramadan this is also when the fast is broken.
Isha begins at 10:13 PM in Aarau today. Islamic midnight falls at 1:30 AM, and the preferred time for Isha ends there.
The last third of the night in Aarau begins at 1:56 AM tonight and runs until Fajr at 4:40 AM, which is the most virtuous time for Tahajjud. Islamic midnight is 1:30 AM.
Sehri ends at 4:37 AM in Aarau and iftar is at 8:24 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 Aarau today: While the sun rises (6:36 AM – 6:51 AM); When the sun is at its highest (1:20 PM – 1:30 PM); While the sun sets (8:09 PM – 8:24 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Aarau today, Asr begins at 5:20 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 6:19 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 Aarau's coordinates and the Europe/Zurich 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 Aarau is 124.4° 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.
