Today's Salah Times in Zaria
Dawn breaks over Zaria at 04:48. Meet it in sujood and the rest of the day arranges itself.
Why Two Calendars Disagree
Two trusted calendars in Zaria can list Fajr a few minutes apart at 04:48 — the difference lies in angle (e.g. 18° vs 15°), not in error.
About 15° (ISNA)
A 15° angle (ISNA-style) typically produces a slightly later Fajr than 18° methods — a several-minute difference your calendar honours by choosing one explicitly.
Valleys vs Plateaus
In valleys, visible dawn lags the calculated Fajr; in Zaria the calendar at 04:48 remains the fiqh reference regardless of terrain.
Blue Hour Geometry
The blue hour over Zaria fills roughly the second half of the 77-minute dawn window, ending at 06:05.
Twilight Geometry
Light progresses from astronomical dawn to sunrise in about 77 minutes here — at the equator this would be ~75 minutes, at the poles, hours.
Dawn at 18°
Today’s 04:48 occurs the moment the sun reaches 18° beneath Zaria’s horizon — a measurement the unaided eye cannot make, which is why the calendar matters.
Aligning with Your Sleep Cycle
Sleep cycles run roughly ninety minutes; counting back from Fajr at 04:48 in Zaria, four full cycles point to 21:18 as a clean wake point.
Praying in Silence
At 04:48 in Zaria the city is quieter than at any other prayer — let your salah match that silence in posture and pace.
