Fajr is the dawn prayer, performed from the moment the first light appears in the sky until just before sunrise. It is the start of the spiritual day in Castleford.

Because Castleford is located at a high latitude of 53.73° 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, Fajr is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Castleford results in a shifting schedule. The Fajr window is moving 4 minute(s) earlier by tomorrow.
