The moon in ⁨Qala-i-Naw⁩

The new moon here is the astronomical one, when the moon passes the sun; a Qamari month starts with the first sighting of the crescent, a day or two later. A dash: the moon doesn't rise or set that day, about once a month.

Twilight

Before sunrise and after sunset the sky is still light; it darkens as the sun sinks further below the horizon. ⁨First light⁩ and ⁨Nightfall⁩ on this page are when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon.

These are not prayer times

Prayer times have their own rules: Fajr and Isha are reckoned from other angles of the sun, and Asr has a rule of its own. ⁨First light⁩ on this page is not the end of suhur. For prayer times, see your mosque's timetable or a religious calendar for your city.
