Maghrib Prayer Timing & Sunset Boundaries in Lahore
Maghrib (صلاۃ المغرب) is the fourth obligatory prayer of the day, commencing at the exact moment of astronomical sunset. Because the valid time span for Maghrib is the shortest among the five daily prayers (typically 1 hour and 25 to 30 minutes in Lahore), performing it promptly upon the Azan is strongly emphasized:
- Maghrib Start Time (Ghurub-e-Aftab): The moment the upper edge of the sun completely sinks below the horizon (today at 06:37 PM).
- Maghrib End Time (Isha Entry): Concludes when evening twilight (Shafaq Abyad - white twilight for Hanafi, corresponding to an 18-degree solar depression) fades completely into night darkness at 08:02 PM.
Maghrib Prayer Structure & 7 Rak'at Breakdown
The Maghrib prayer consists of a total of 7 Rak'ats, performed in the following sequence:
- 3 Rak'ats Fardh: The obligatory prayer offered first. In congregation, the Imam recites Surah Al-Fatiha and Quranic verses aloud (Jahri) in the first two Rak'ats and silently in the third.
- 2 Rak'ats Sunnah Mu'akkadah: Emphasized Sunnah offered immediately after the Fardh prayer.
- 2 Rak'ats Nafl: Voluntary prayer carrying spiritual merit.
