Prayer Times in Brussels

Brussels prayer times overview

For Brussels it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.

The Brussels prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour behind Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.

Brussels geographic location is 50.8503°N, 4.3517°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.

The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.

The daytime interval in Brussels today is 15 часов 4 минуты — from sunrise at 06:16 to Maghrib at 21:20. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.

The night interval in Brussels begins after Maghrib at 21:20 and lasts until Fajr at 03:42. Its duration is 6 часов 22 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.

In summer in Brussels the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.

Three times are especially important for daily practice in Brussels: Fajr — 03:42, Maghrib — 21:20 and Isha — 23:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

The Brussels prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
