For Muslims all over বাংলাদেশ, the call to Fajr prayer is the symbolic start of a new day. Fajr is the first of the five required prayers that must be said every day before sunrise. To observe it, you have to get up early and get ready before dawn, which is why it’s so important to know the exact time. Tomorrow, the times of Fajr will be a little different in Bangladesh’s major cities, based on where they are located and how they calculate time there.
When Fajr starts in Dhaka and nearby cities
Falar will be around 4:29 AM in Dhaka, the capital city, giving worshipers a head start. As you move southeast to Chattogram, the time is a little earlier, at about 4:24 AM, because dawn comes earlier along the coast. Fajr will start at 4:22 AM in Sylhet, which is known for its tea gardens and hills. This is one of the earliest times in a big city.
Timetable for western and northern Bangladesh
In western Bangladesh, the times are a little different. Rajshahi, which is on the Padma River, will have Fajr at 4:35 AM, which is a few minutes after Dhaka. Fajr will also happen around 4:32 AM in Khulna, which is another important city in the southwest. In northern places like Rangpur, it’s about 4:31 AM, which again shows how far away the city is from the eastern sky.
Why do different cities have different prayer times
Different latitudes and longitudes cause Fajr prayer times to vary across Bangladesh, but they are usually only 10 to 15 minutes apart. Cities on the coast and further east usually see dawn a little earlier than cities in the middle of the country and the north. Methods of calculation are also important. To figure out when Fajr starts, Islamic scholars look at the sun’s position below the horizon from different directions.
What is the Spiritual Meaning of Fajr?
Even with these small changes, Fajr has the same spiritual meaning everywhere. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stressed how important it was by saying that people who do Fajr are protected by Allah. For Christians, saying this prayer first thing in the morning brings peace, focus, and a sense of a higher mission. Waking up before dawn is not only a religious duty, but also a way to train the mind and body because it takes hard work and commitment.
A Worship Service for All
Tomorrow’s Fajr prayer is a chance for millions of Muslims in Bangladesh to get up before the sun comes up, forget about the things of this world, and start the day by remembering God. In the early hours, people of religion come together in one act of devotion, whether they are in the busy streets of Dhaka, the quiet hills of Sylhet, or the beautiful landscapes along the rivers of Rajshahi.
