i hope this isnt a dense question, but we have discovered some inconsistencies in our prayer timetables where we find that the hours which the prayers are meant to start/end dont correspond to the suns movements.
so on the timetable it says asr is about at 3.00pm. according to the sun, its about at 2.00pm. at asr time, the sahodw of an object is meant to be equal to the length of that object. for example a vase of 30cm long and likewise its shadow is also 30cm in length. as the day gets longer, the shadow of the object gets longer (or so i've been told). i've been told that i can pray since the shadow is longer then the object....
but im confused and something isn't clicking. if the shadow of the object gets longer as the day goes on...well what about after sunrise (even before dhuhr)...isn't the shadow of an object also longer then the object? because i was out at 10.00am a couple of days back and realized that the shadow of the object is longer than the object. and this was before dhuhr?
so can someone understand this concept to me
...desperate for husnul-khitaam...
please make dua that Allah grants me a good end (to my life). please make dua that Allah guides me.
