Sunrise, Ishraq & Fajr — common questions
When does Fajr end in Cheltenham? +
Fajr ends at sunrise — 06:59 today in Cheltenham. Once the sun begins to rise, the Fajr prayer window has closed; a missed Fajr is then prayed as qada after the sun has fully risen.
What is Ishraq and when is it prayed? +
Ishraq is a voluntary prayer of 2 rakats offered about 15–20 minutes after sunrise, once the sun has fully risen above the horizon. Praying it after sitting in dhikr from Fajr carries great reward in authentic narrations.
Can you pray at sunrise? +
No — salah is prohibited while the sun is rising, at its zenith (zawal), and while it is setting. Wait roughly 15–20 minutes after sunrise before praying Ishraq, Duha or any voluntary prayer.
Why does my app show a different sunrise time for Cheltenham? +
Sunrise is an astronomical event, so most sources agree within a minute or two; small differences come from coordinates and rounding. Global Prayer Times uses Moonsighting Committee Worldwide with Cheltenham's coordinates.
