Fajr Prayer in Tanta — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Fajr time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in Tanta.

What time is Fajr today in Tanta?
Fajr in Tanta, Egypt begins today (Monday, August 24, 2026) at 04:59 local time (Africa/Cairo). This is the start of the dawn prayer window, which closes at sunrise.
When does the Fajr window end in Tanta?
The Fajr window closes the moment the upper edge of the sun crosses the horizon at sunrise. Praying Fajr after sunrise means it is missed and must be made up as qada (make-up prayer) as soon as you remember. Tomorrow Fajr begins at 05:00.
Is it permissible to combine Fajr with another prayer?
No. Unlike Dhuhr/Asr or Maghrib/Isha — which classical scholars permit combining under specific conditions like travel or rain — Fajr is always offered in its own window. If you wake late, pray Fajr immediately as qada with the intention to make up the missed prayer.
What is the Hijri date today in Tanta for Fajr?
Today corresponds to 11 Rabi’ al-Awwal 1448 AH in the Islamic Hijri calendar. The Fajr time of 04:59 reflects the dawn of this Hijri day in Tanta.
How does today's Fajr time in Tanta compare to the same date last year?
On this same date one year ago, Fajr in Tanta was at 05:00 local time. Today it is at 04:59, which is 1 minutes earlier. This year-over-year drift reflects the gradual shift of the solar year and is the reason prayer times are recomputed astronomically every day rather than read from a static table.
How many rakat is Fajr prayer?
Fajr prayer consists of 2 Sunnah, 2 Fard (4 rakat in total). This breakdown follows the standard Sunni convention as taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
What direction is the Qibla from Tanta for Fajr?
From Tanta, the Qibla bearing toward the Kaaba in Mecca is approximately 138° measured clockwise from true north. The same direction applies to every prayer of the day — only the time of Fajr changes daily.
What is the spiritual significance of Fajr?
The two Rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and all it contains. (Muslim)
Why is Fajr in congregation particularly emphasized?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he has prayed the whole night" (Muslim). Fajr is the smallest prayer in size but among the weightiest in reward, marking the first conscious act of worship of each day.
