Question
Assalamu Alaikum Sheikh, My question is how can we calculate adhan prayers mentally without any use of technology? Insha Allah you will answer me.
Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa Rahmatullah.
Prayer times are determined by the position of the sun in the sky. The Muslim day begins with the sunset prayer, Mahgrib, followed by the evening prayer, Isha, which begins at nightfall. The last of the prayers to be regulated by the occurrence of twilight is the Fajr, beginning at daybreak. The Zuhr (noon prayer) and the Asr (afternoon prayer) are given by shadow-lengths. The Zuhr is given shortly after the sun has passed its highest point, where shadow-length is at its shortest. The Asr is given when this shadow-length has doubled. A stick or a gnomon could be used to check this time, which varies with both location and the time of year.
This is how they would measure the time of Salah time.
Allah knows best
