Asr Timing in Ratekau

For today, Saturday, April 18, the Asr prayer in Ratekau starts at 17:08. By tomorrow, the time will shift to 17:08, marking a difference of 1 minute later due to the solar cycle.

Asr is the afternoon prayer. The timing is based on the length of shadows, marking a vital checkpoint between midday and sunset.

Because Ratekau is located at a high latitude of 53.95° 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, Asr is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Ratekau results in a shifting schedule. The Asr window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Ratekau spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 23:59, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 01:11.
