Importance of Performing Prayers Timely

Muslims offer prayers five times a day, and each prayer time comes after a certain interval. This is the time to get a break from daily routine activities and connect to Allah. Performing prayers at their specific time helps one to maintain a balance between spiritual and material activities.

Allah Connection

Regular prayer practice strengthens one’s spiritual bond with Allah and reminds individuals of faith.

Discipline and Routine

The observance of prayer times plays a role as a time management tool in both personal and professional dimensions. We take breaks, set our daily goals to perform after every prayer, and hence observe discipline in our lives.

Community and Fellowship

Prayers are not just individual acts of worship but also a collective expression of faith. Especially in a mosque, where people assemble and respect their beliefs, prayers strengthen the social bond and union of the Muslim community, making each member feel connected and part of a larger whole.

Methods to Calculate Islamic Prayer Time in Sydney

To calculate Islamic prayer times in Sydney, Islamic scholars consider some specific factors, such as astronomical and seasonal changes, geographical location, and reliable calculation methods.

Astronomical Method

In the astronomical method, the position of the sun with respect to the horizon helps in determining the exact time for each prayer. This method is used to calculate Salah times in Sydney and worldwide by all four primary Sunni schools of thought (Hanafi, Shafi’I, Maliki, and Hanbali).

Here Is how they use astronomical methods to calculate exact Namaz times and where they have different opinions.

Fajrsalat (dawn prayer): According to Shafi’I, Maliki, and Hanbali madhab, fajr prayer time starts when the sun is 15 degrees below the horizon line, except Hanafi (18 degrees below the horizon).

Dhuhrsalat (noon prayer): Dhuhr time starts when the sun is at its peak and begins to decline. All four Sunni schools follow this time for Zuhr prayer.

Asrsalat (afternoon prayer): Asr time is determined by the length of the shadow of an object. Some Muslims offer Asr prayer when the shadow length of an object is equal to the object’s actual length, and others when the shadow length is double to its actual length.

Maghribsalat (evening prayer): Maghrib time starts right after the sunset by all Sunni schools. Ishasalat (night prayer): Isha prayer time begins after the disappearance of twilight—the same conflict as in the case of Fajr prayer timings.

Standard Calculation Method

Some specific Muslim organizations calculate Islamic prayer times that are;

• Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)
• Muslim World League (MWL)
• Egyptian General Authority of Survey (EGAS)
• University of Umm al-Qura in Makkah
• University of Tehran, Institute of Geophysical (Tehran)
• Shia IthnaAshari, Qum (Jafari), Leva Research Center.
• Umm al-Qura University
• Islamic Society of New South Wales (ISNSW)
• Australian National Imam Council (ANIC)

Local mosques in Sydney first ensure accuracy and publish prayer times according to these calculations.

Calculation Methods for Asr Prayer Time in Sydney

Asr prayer time is calculated using two methods, which are Mithl 1 and Mithl 2, that are based on the length of the shadow of an object. Here is the main difference between four Sunni schools of thought for calculating Asr prayer time on the basis of shadow length.

Mithl 1 (Standard Method)

Mithl 1 is the standard method used by Shafi’I, Maliki, Jafari, and Hanbali schools of thought. According to this method, Asrnamaz time starts when the shadow length of an object becomes equal to its actual length (Shadow factor 1). Shia Muslims also follow the Mithl 1 methodology.

Mithl 2 (Hanafi Method)

Asr prayer time in Sydney is also calculated using this method, according to which Asrnamaz time starts when the shadow factor of an object has become twice its length (Shadow factor 2). These methods are followed to calculate Asr prayer time in Sydney.

Parameters to Calculate Prayer Time in Sydney

To calculate the prayer time of a specific location, two parameters are required. First is the location geographic parameter (longitude and latitude), and second is the local time zone for that location.

Geographic Parameters

Geography determines the solar coordinates, and these coordinates are used to calculate prayer time in Sydney. Prayer times vary when expressed in a specific location. Geographical parameters like longitude and latitudes are used to calculate solat times in Sydney.

Sydney Latitude: -33.86 degree It affects how the sunlight reaches the city by changing the angle of sun rays and thus influences daylight hours and solat time in Sydney.

Sydney Longitude: 151.21 degree It affects the timing of sunrise and sunset in Sydney.

Time Zone

The time zone sets the base time for calculating prayer times in any region.

Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) UTC/GMT+10: This time zone is standard and followed from the first Sunday of April.

Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) UTC/GMT+11: This time zone is observed during Daylight Saving Time (DTS) from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. Sydney observes daylight saving time from 1^st October to 2^nd April and shifts the clock by an extra hour from standard UTC/GMT+10 to UTC/GMT+11 hours. Hence prayer time in Sydney is adjusted according to the timezone. These are adjustments one should pay attention to while maintaining accuracy in Islamic prayer timings since the position of the sun influences the times for the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers.
