How are prayer times calculated for Lyon?
Prayer times are set by the sun, so they change through the year and from place to place. Lyon is in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. This page uses the coordinates 45.7491° N, 4.8479° E (GeoNames) and the Europe/Paris time zone, and works out each time from that position using the France (UOIF, 12°) method. On Tuesday 10 November there are about 9 h 42 min of daylight between sunrise and sunset. The qibla from here is 118.6° from true north (ESE), and the Kaaba in Makkah is 4,164 km away along the great circle, the shortest route over the globe.
The Islamic day begins at sunset, with Maghrib. Isha follows when the last light has left the sky, taken here as the moment the sun is 12° below the horizon. Fajr starts with the first light of dawn, when the sun is 12° below the horizon before sunrise.
Dhuhr begins once the sun has passed its highest point, when shadows are at their shortest. Asr is measured by shadow length. Most scholars, including the Shafi‘i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and Imam Abu Hanifa’s students Abu Yusuf and Muhammad, hold that Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own length (plus its midday shadow). Imam Abu Hanifa held that it begins when the shadow reaches twice the length. Both times are shown above; the Standard time is used in the week ahead.
These are the times at which each prayer begins. Congregation (jamaat) times are set by each mosque and are usually a little later, and some mosques use a different method, so local timetables in Lyon can differ by a few minutes. If your mosque publishes a timetable, follow it.
“Indeed, prayer is prescribed for the believers at specific times.”
