Allah says: “So turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque [in Makkah]” (Quran 2:144, translation: Rowwad Translation Center via QuranEnc). ### Which calculation method is used for Blackburn? Moonsighting Committee, the default the QiblaTrue app uses in the United Kingdom, with Hanafi Asr. The app offers 14 methods if your community follows another. ## How are prayer times calculated for Blackburn? Prayer times are set by the sun, so they change through the year and from place to place. Blackburn lies at 53.7° north, and this page works out each time from that position using the Moonsighting Committee method. The Islamic day begins at sunset, with **Maghrib** (this method adds 3 minutes after sunset as a margin). **Isha** follows when the last light has left the sky, taken here as the moment the sun is 18° below the horizon. **Fajr** starts with the first light of dawn, when the sun is 18° below the horizon before sunrise. **Dhuhr** begins once the sun has passed its highest point, when shadows are at their shortest; the method adds 5 minutes after solar noon as a margin. **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 Hanafi time is used in the week ahead because it is the usual choice in the UK. From about 13 May to 30 July, the sun does not go 18° below the horizon in Blackburn, so true 18° dawn and nightfall do not happen. The Moonsighting Committee method allows for this with seasonal times based on latitude and observed twilight, so Fajr and Isha still have a set time on those nights. 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 Blackburn can differ by a few minutes. If your mosque publishes a timetable, follow it. > “Indeed, prayer is prescribed for the believers at specific times.” > > — Quran 4:103 · [Translation: Rowwad Translation Center, via QuranEnc](https://quranenc.com/en/browse/english_rwwad/4/103) ## Other cities in the United Kingdom - [Bolton](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/bolton) - [Rochdale](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/rochdale) - [Manchester](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/manchester) - [Oldham](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/oldham) - [Huddersfield](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/huddersfield) - [Bradford](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/bradford) - [Leeds](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/leeds) - [Sheffield](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/sheffield) - [Birmingham](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/birmingham) - [Leicester](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/leicester) - [Luton](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/luton) - [Glasgow](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/glasgow) - [Slough](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/slough) - [London](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-kingdom/london)
