Maghrib Timing in Vancouver

For today, Saturday, May 23, the Maghrib prayer in Vancouver starts at 20:58. By tomorrow, the time will shift to 21:00, marking a difference of 1 minute later due to the solar cycle.

Maghrib is the sunset prayer, performed immediately after the sun disappears. It is a moment of gratitude and the time for breaking fast during Ramadan.

Because Vancouver is located at a high latitude of 49.25° 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, Maghrib is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of May, the solar path in Vancouver results in a shifting schedule. The Maghrib window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Vancouver spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 23:36, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 00:28.
