Today in Cheshire: Fajr 4:53 AM, sunrise 6:14 AM, Dhuhr 12:53 PM, Asr 4:36 PM, Maghrib 7:31 PM and Isha 8:52 PM. All times are for Cheshire's own coordinates in the America/New_York timezone, calculated by the Islamic Society of North America method.
Fajr begins at 4:53 AM in Cheshire today and ends at sunrise, 6:14 AM. During Ramadan, sehri ends at 4:50 AM — a few minutes before Fajr, as printed calendars have it.
In Cheshire the sun rises at 6:14 AM and sets at 7:31 PM today, giving 13h 17m of daylight. Sunrise ends the Fajr window and sunset begins Maghrib, so both are prayer boundaries as well as points in the day.
Dhuhr begins at 12:53 PM in Cheshire today, once the sun has passed its highest point, and lasts until Asr at 4:36 PM.
Jummah is prayed in the Dhuhr window, which in Cheshire runs from 12:53 PM until 4:36 PM today. The exact time is set by each mosque, not by calculation — most in this area begin between one and two hours after Dhuhr starts. Ask your own mosque; this page can only tell you the window it must fall within.
Asr begins at 4:36 PM in Cheshire today and lasts until Maghrib at 7:31 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 7:31 PM in Cheshire today, at sunset, and lasts until Isha at 8:52 PM. In Ramadan this is also when the fast is broken.
Isha begins at 8:52 PM in Cheshire today. Islamic midnight falls at 12:53 AM, and the preferred time for Isha ends there.
Witr is prayed after Isha, which begins at 8:52 PM in Cheshire, and remains valid until Fajr at 4:53 AM. If you intend to pray Tahajjud, it is better to leave Witr until the end of the night; otherwise pray it before sleeping.
The last third of the night in Cheshire begins at 1:47 AM tonight and runs until Fajr at 4:53 AM, which is the most virtuous time for Tahajjud. Islamic midnight is 12:53 AM.
In Cheshire today Ishraq begins at 6:29 AM, about fifteen minutes after sunrise at 6:14 AM, once the sun has fully risen. Duha (Chasht) follows from 6:34 AM and lasts until shortly before Dhuhr at 12:53 PM.
Sehri ends at 4:50 AM in Cheshire and iftar is at 7:31 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 Cheshire today: While the sun rises (6:14 AM – 6:29 AM); When the sun is at its highest (12:43 PM – 12:53 PM); While the sun sets (7:16 PM – 7:31 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Cheshire today, Asr begins at 4:36 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 5:35 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 Islamic Society of North America 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 Cheshire's coordinates and the America/New_York 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 Cheshire is 59.2° measured clockwise from true north, which is towards the north-east. Compass apps show magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places.
Tomorrow in Cheshire Fajr begins at 4:55 AM and Maghrib at 7:30 PM. The times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves, which is why the monthly timetable below is worth keeping rather than a single day.
The full August 2026 timetable for Cheshire is on this page, one row per day with Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Use Print or Download PDF above it to save or wall-mount it, and switch to the sehri and iftar columns during Ramadan.
