At Ramadan I printed off the time table for Islamic prayer times to gain an understanding when Muslims would be required to pray during the day.
I noticed that the prayers were by no means spread evenly throughout the day.
Can somebody tell me how the 5 different prayers are determined?
I believe that two are related to the sun rising and setting. What about the others?
Thanks in advance

I am planning to fast to please God and to seek his guidance and will for my life, as well as to pray for Muslims and Christians alike, and for peace and harmony between all religions.

I agree that going without water would probably be the hardest part. I have never tried that before ...
I would probably have to drink gallons before starting the fast.
Thats What I do

And be optimistic when destiny decrees,
Do not despair due to the events of nights past
For the events of this world were not meant to last.”

I found this answer in Fatwa Center, Whatsthepoint. I think it may answer your question.
The time of Maghrib begins with the sunset and ends with the disappearance of the red twilight when the time of ‘Ishaa’ prayer starts as clarified in Fataawa 81532 and 82253.
There is no doubt that the time-length of Maghrib prayer differs according to the difference of the seasons of the year especially if a person lives in a country near the North Pole, where the disappearance of the red twilight delays in some seasons of the year.
As regards a person who lives in the city and is unable to define the times of the prayer by eye-sighting, then he should take into consideration the prayer time calendar which a Muslim country issues or which trustworthy Islamic centres issue in non-Muslim countries. It should be noted that the Islamic centres gave importance to the issue of prayer times, all praise be to Allaah. Similarly, one may rely on the prayer time calendars which are issued by the World Islamic League, Al-Azhar and Karachi Universities, and other trustworthy institutions.
I guess the same would apply to people fasting during Ramadan in places where the sun doesn't set at all. Clearly they cannot go without any food at all for 19 days!

The point is that there is no sunrise and sunset in the poles, so the prayer times cannot be determined at all. The calendars the fatwa mentions are different for every location in the world and are also determined by sunsets and sunrises.

That's a solution, I thought of it too. Its a common sense solution, I don't think the fatwa proved it using hadiths or the Quran. Can you do that, use common sense to make religious rulings?

of course, where there are no specific rulings for a particular dilemma then we should use the common sense that God gave us, along with general principles (for example, that there should not be too great a burden placed on people). and Allah knows best.

Peace - I have found that it is not advisable to drink gallons of water before commencing the fast. Your body just gets rid of it double quick and dehydration follows more quickly (em that's my personal experience anyway, I'm not claiming to be a scientist or anything). So it is better to have 2 glasses of water before the fast, not more. I would avoid all stimulants like tea or coffee as well. It's hard at first but your body soon adapts, alhamdulillah and I find I become less and less thirsty during the day as Ramadan progresses.

Sounds like great advice. Would it be better to drink extra water the night before to perhaps hyper-hydrate your body like a camel? I often work outside and find the thirst part the hardest. Do you have additional advice?
