Isha Timing in Assen
For today, Monday, April 06, the Isha prayer in Assen starts at 21:46. By tomorrow, the time will shift to 21:47, marking a difference of 2 minutes later due to the solar cycle.
Isha is the night prayer, performed once total darkness has set in. It is the final of the five daily prayers, typically followed by the Witr prayer.
Because Assen is located at a high latitude of 53° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer. At this latitude, the sun does not descend far enough (18 degrees) below the horizon. Consequently, Isha is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Assen results in a shifting schedule. The Isha window is moving 2 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Assen spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 00:29, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 01:53.
