Today's Salah Times in Leiden
Across the year Fajr in Leiden swings between 04:19 and 06:42 — today’s 05:17 is one point on that arc.
Across National Borders
The same minute east or west of Leiden can carry a different timezone but never a different sun — 05:17 reflects place, not paperwork.
Solar Depression at Fajr
Fajr is fixed at 18° below the horizon in Leiden — the sun is still that far beneath the eastern skyline when adhan is called.
How Small Shifts Add Up
A single degree of longitude moves Fajr by about four minutes — over Leiden’s 4.5° east position that becomes a measurable footprint by 05:17.
Six-Hour Minimum
If circumstances make 21:47 impossible, sleeping six hours and waking at Fajr (05:17) is enough — sleep deprivation is repaid in afternoon qailulah, never in missed prayer.
Imsak vs Fajr
Some calendars list an “imsak” a few minutes before Fajr; in fiqh, the binding cutoff in Leiden remains the 05:17 adhan itself.
Around the Winter Solstice
Near December 21 in Leiden Fajr edges back toward 06:42, the latest of its annual swing.
A Stricter Fajr Angle
Leiden uses an 18°-class angle — among the most cautious — pulling today’s Fajr at 05:17 a few minutes earlier than 15° schemes would.
Aligning with Your Sleep Cycle
Sleep cycles run roughly ninety minutes; counting back from Fajr at 05:17 in Leiden, four full cycles point to 21:47 as a clean wake point.
