Islamic midnight is 00:00 (next day) and the last third of the night begins at 01:45 (next day). Measured from sunset (18:45) to the next morning's Fajr (05:15). Scholars differ on Isha after this point: some say its time ends here; others, including the Ḥanafī school, that it remains valid until Fajr but is disliked after this point. How this is worked out.
These times are produced by our own calculation engine using the published methodology. Our validation includes astronomical comparison with the US Naval Observatory and prayer-time comparisons against external reference data. Differences can occur between calculation methods, so please follow your local mosque for congregational prayer.
These prayer times are calculated for Luton, in Bedfordshire, at 51.8797° N, 0.4175° W, in the Europe/London timezone, so they follow the clocks when British Summer Time begins and ends. They are produced by AllPrayerTime's own calculation engine from those coordinates, following the published methodology, and are not copied from another timetable.
Both Asr times are listed every day: Standard (Mithl 1) and Hanafi (Mithl 2). In Luton the two are a little under half an hour apart around the December solstice, and about an hour and a quarter apart in the days around the June solstice. Neither is presented as the correct one — follow the convention you or your mosque use.
Even in the south of England the summer nights are short enough that the usual twilight angles are not reached for part of the year. From the third week of May until late July the sun does not sink the 18° below the horizon that Fajr is based on, and from the end of May to the middle of July it does not reach the 17° used for Isha. Around the June solstice, Fajr is published at about 3:40am and Isha at about 10:27pm.
When an angle-based time is unavailable, or would fall outside the approved limit, the one-seventh-of-the-night rule sets the published time. Taking the night as sunset to sunrise, Fajr is not placed earlier than the start of its last seventh, and Isha not later than the end of its first seventh; the two are handled separately. In Luton the limit applies to Fajr from the start of March into the middle of October, and to Isha from the second week of March to the end of September. From November to February it is not needed. Each date where it has been applied says so, and shows the angle-based time beside it where one exists.
The methodology page explains the angles used, the high-latitude rule, the two small margins added to Dhuhr and Maghrib, how times are rounded to the minute, and how results are checked against independent references.
For congregational prayer, follow your local mosque. Mosques may use different angles, margins or Asr conventions, so jama'ah times — especially Fajr and Isha — can differ from the calculated times on this page. If a time here looks wrong, please report it.
On Wednesday 29 September 2027 Fajr in Luton is at 05:14. Fajr is also when Suhoor ends: we publish no separate earlier time.
Fajr ends at sunrise. On Wednesday 29 September 2027 sunrise in Luton is at 06:59.
On Wednesday 29 September 2027 Maghrib in Luton is at 18:48, which is also the time to break the fast in Ramadan.
Asr begins when a shadow reaches one length beyond its midday length (Mithl 1, Standard) or two lengths (Mithl 2, Hanafi). On Wednesday 29 September 2027 in Luton: Mithl 1 at 16:01, Mithl 2 at 16:48. We show both and do not say which to follow. Read the Asr explainer.
Times are calculated for Luton's own coordinates with the Muslim World League angles (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), with a published high-latitude rule and two small safety margins (Dhuhr +5 minutes, Maghrib +3 minutes). Both Asr times are always shown. Read the methodology.
