Rotterdam prayer times overview
For Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam 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.
For Rotterdam the coordinates 51.9244°N and 4.4777°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. 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.
Today in Rotterdam the sun rises at 07:33, while Maghrib begins at 19:34. Daylight lasts 12 часов 1 minute. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Rotterdam 10 часов 5 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:34, while Fajr begins at 05:39. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Rotterdam the schedule shifts noticeably: the day shortens, while the evening prayer time begins earlier.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Rotterdam: Fajr — 05:39, Maghrib — 19:34 and Isha — 21:21. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Rotterdam
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
We update the schedule in Rotterdam daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:39) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (19:34) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Rotterdam it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
