How are Prayer Times Calculated?
The prayer times of each of the five prayers are determined by the specific position of the sun in the sky. The Cape Town Salah times typically change daily; the prayer times will be different on each day. Usually, the time only varies by a minute per day, but some days will have the same time for multiple days consecutively. Because of the changing times, it is important to check the prayer schedule each day.
Importance of Knowing Exact Prayer Times
Since prayer times are dictated by the position of the sun, the precise times must be adhered to. A prayer must never be performed earlier than the set time. Each prayer is directed to be performed at a certain, specific, exact time.
