Isha Prayer Timing & Nightfall Boundaries in Lahore
Isha (صلاۃ العشاء) is the final obligatory prayer of the day. Its time span is defined by precise astronomical twilight transitions:
- Isha Start Time (Shafaq Abyad): Commences when the white twilight completely disappears from the western sky, corresponding to the sun reaching 18.0 degrees below the horizon (today at 08:02 PM).
- Preferred Sunnah Cutoff (Nisf-ul-Layl): Islamic midnight (the exact midpoint between Maghrib sunset and Subh Sadiq dawn, occurring tonight at 11:22 PM). The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) recommended performing Isha before this midpoint (Sahih Muslim).
- Final Permissible Cutoff: Extends until Subh Sadiq (true dawn) at 04:08 AM, though delaying beyond midnight without necessity is discouraged (Makrooh-e-Tanzihi).
Complete 17 Rak'at Structure of Isha Prayer
The comprehensive Isha prayer consists of 17 Rak'ats, offered in the following traditional sequence:
- 4 Rak'ats Sunnah Ghayr Mu'akkadah: Optional voluntary Sunnah offered before the Fardh prayer.
- 4 Rak'ats Fardh: The obligatory congregational prayer. The Imam recites Surah Al-Fatiha and Quranic verses aloud (Jahri) in the first two Rak'ats and silently in the final two.
- 2 Rak'ats Sunnah Mu'akkadah: Emphasized Sunnah offered immediately after the Fardh prayer.
- 2 Rak'ats Nafl: Voluntary prayer carrying spiritual reward.
- 3 Rak'ats Witr Wajib: Highly obligatory prayer with Dua-e-Qunoot recited in the third Rak'at before bowing.

Dua-e-Qunoot (Arabic, Transliteration & Translation)
Dua-e-Qunoot recited in the 3rd Rak'at of Witr:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ وَنَشْكُرُكَ وَلاَ نَكْفُرُكَ وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ
Allahumma inna nasta'eenuka wa nastaghfiruka wa nu'minu bika wa natawakkalu 'alayka wa nuthnee 'alaykal-khayr, wa nashkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nakhla'u wa natruku may-yafjuruk...
اے اللہ! ہم تجھ سے مدد چاہتے ہیں اور تجھ سے بخشش مانگتے ہیں اور تجھ پر ایمان لاتے ہیں اور تجھ پر بھروسہ کرتے ہیں اور تیری بہت اچھی تعریف کرتے ہیں اور تیرا شکر ادا کرتے ہیں اور تیری ناشکری نہیں کرتے اور الگ کرتے ہیں اور چھوڑتے ہیں اس شخص کو جو تیری نافرمانی کرے۔
