Tahajjud Time Tonight And The Last Third Of The Night

It depends on where you are, because Maghrib and Fajr change with your location. Tonight it starts at 1:22 AM in Delhi, 1:32 AM in Karachi, 1:19 AM in Dubai, 1:03 AM in London and 1:05 AM in New York, local time, and lasts until Fajr. The tool at the top of this page works it out for wherever you are.

The last third of the night is the final third of the time between Maghrib and the next Fajr: it begins once two thirds of the night have passed and ends at Fajr. Many Muslims aim to pray tahajjud in it. Islamic midnight, half-way between Maghrib and Fajr, comes before it. You may also see it written as the last 3rd or the final 1/3 of the night.

Take the time from Maghrib to Fajr, divide it by three and subtract one third from Fajr. For a night from 7:30 PM to 4:30 AM, the night is 9 hours long, a third is 3 hours, so the last third starts at 1:30 AM and ends at Fajr.

Yes. Maghrib and Fajr move a little every day, so the length of the night and the start of the last third move with them. The timetable on this page shows each of the next 30 nights for your place.

Midnight in Islam, or Islamic midnight, is the middle of the night, half-way between Maghrib and Fajr, not 12:00 on the clock.

Take the time from Maghrib to Fajr, halve it and add it to Maghrib. For a night from 7:30 PM to 4:30 AM, half of the 9 hours is 4 hours 30 minutes, so Islamic midnight is 12:00 AM. The Islamic midnight calculator at the top of this page shows when it is today, wherever you are.

Scholars differ on whether Isha's time ends at Islamic midnight or at Fajr. Our guide When does Isha end? explains the views.

Tahajjud starts after Isha and lasts until Fajr, and many Muslims aim to pray it in the last third of the night. This is the same time whether you call it tahajjud prayer time, tahajjud namaz time or tahajjud salah time.

Tahajjud time runs from Isha until Fajr, so those two times are all you need. To find the last third inside it, work out the length of the night from Maghrib to Fajr, divide it by three and subtract that from Fajr. The tahajjud calculator at the top of this page does this for you.

Both names are used for the voluntary night prayer, so qiyam time and tahajjud time are the same window, from Isha until Fajr. Some use tahajjud only for the prayer after sleeping.

Tahajjud can be prayed at any time in the night after Isha. Many Muslims aim for the last third of the night, which has a special place in the Sunnah as a time for prayer, supplication and asking forgiveness.

Tahajjud ends when Fajr begins, which is also when the last third of the night ends.

Sites use different Fajr angles and calculation methods, some count the night from Isha or from sunset to sunrise, and some round the times. This page uses a city's mosque timetable where there is one and otherwise the method the Pillars app uses for the country, and counts from Maghrib to Fajr.

Far enough from the equator, including the UK, Canada and northern Europe, the sun in summer never gets far enough below the horizon for true dawn, so Fajr is set by a high-latitude rule instead. The night still runs from Maghrib to that Fajr, so the last third is an estimate on those nights, and this page marks it.
