The deed dearest to Allah is offering prayers at their early fixed times. Everyone knows that all prayers depend on the condition of the Sun and geography. Accordingly, we can have changeable opinions regarding the exact Salah times. Though different schools of Islamic thought differ in slight details, all schools agree that any given prayer cannot be performed before its stipulated time. Melbourne prayer times are when Muslims of Melbourne perform prayers (Salah). The Melbourne, Australia, prayer times guide the five daily prayers plus the Friday prayer.
The five daily prayers are mandatory (fard), and they are performed at times determined fundamentally by the location of the Sun in the sky. Consequently, Salah times fluctuate at different locations on the Earth.
The following Melbourne Prayer times are standard for Muslims in Melbourne, especially the fard prayer times.
Fajar (before-dawn)
Fajar is the Morning Prayer offered when it is dark. It begins at true dawn or sunset, when the morning light appears across the entire thickness of the sky and ends at sunrise or when the sun is up.
Dhuhr (mid-day)
According to Islamic tradition, the Dhuhr prayer starts after the sun passes its peak and lasts almost 20 minutes before the time of Asr.
Asr (afternoon)
Asr prayer starts when the sunshine has not disappeared from any chamber. Otherwise, the time of Asr starts once a thing's shadow is the same length as the object itself. In addition, the shadow spans at Dhuhr and lasts until the sun goes down. It can be divided into two sections; the ideal time is before the sun starts and when the sun turns orange, whereas the time of obligation is from when the sun turns orange until the sun goes down or till the end of the day.
Maghreb (sunset)
Islamic time says that the Maghreb prayer begins when the sun goes down and lasts till the red light has gone to the sky in the west. It can be explained as soon as the sun sets until the twilight (Shafaq) vanishes. The dusk is the light seen after the sun's redness has disappeared and is spread like the whiteness of dawn from the east rather than from north to the south. The length of Maghreb's time is precisely the same as the length of Fajr's time for that specific day.
Isha'a (night)
The Isha'a prayer time starts when the red light vanishes from the western sky and lasts until the increase of white light in the east, also called Sabah Saadiq. The ideal time for Isha'a is before midnight, between sunset and sunrise.
