Congregation times
Set by the Centre, and separate from the calculated times above. Why three times, not five?
No Jumu’ah announced for this Friday.
The Centre holds Friday prayer when a khateeb is available and enough people can attend. It is announced here and on the Centre’s Facebook page when it is on.
Ja’fari waqts are shown for Fajr, Zuhrayn and Maghribayn; the Centre does not hold daily congregational prayer. The times on this page are calculated for North Ipswich so you can pray at home or know when the waqt begins.
How these times are calculated
Calculated: Shia Ithna-Ashari, Leva Research Institute, Qum. Fajr 16 deg, Isha 14 deg, Maghrib 4 deg. Islamic midnight = midpoint from sunset to dawn.
Twelver institutions use more than one parameter set and they differ. The Centre publishes which one it uses so you can check it against your own marja’s guidance:
- Shia Ithna-Ashari, Leva Research Institute, Qum — Fajr 16°, Isha 14°, Maghrib 4°. Used by Indo-Pak centres and most Western Shia apps.
- Astronomical Research Center, Najaf — Fajr 18°, Isha 14°, Maghrib 4.5°. Used by Iraqi / Najaf, Sistani followers.
Asr is valid shortly after Zuhr in Ja’fari fiqh and is not an independent boundary, so it is not listed as one. Islamic (shar’i) midnight is the midpoint between sunset and the next dawn, and it is when the time for Isha ends.

Prayer times at this Centre
- What time is Maghrib in North Ipswich today?
- Maghrib is at 5:56 pm today at the Fatima Zahra Imamia Centre, 80 Downs Street, North Ipswich QLD 4305. That is 14 minutes after sunset, which is at 5:42 pm. In Ja'fari fiqh Maghrib begins once the redness in the eastern sky has passed overhead, so it is not the same moment as sunset. During Ramadan the fast is broken at Maghrib, not at sunset.
- When does Fajr begin?
- Fajr begins at 4:39 am today and the time for it ends at sunrise, 5:47 am. These times are calculated for North Ipswich, Queensland using the Shia Ithna-Ashari, Leva Research Institute, Qum parameters (Fajr 16 degrees below the horizon). They are not Brisbane times.
- Why does the Centre list three prayer times?
- Shia Muslims pray all five daily prayers. In Ja'fari fiqh Zuhr may be prayed with Asr (Zuhrayn) and Maghrib with Isha (Maghribayn) without needing a reason, so a congregation gathers at three times rather than five: Fajr, Zuhrayn and Maghribayn. The Centre does not hold daily congregational prayer; these times are calculated so you can pray at home or know when the waqt begins. The timetable also publishes shar'i midnight, the midpoint between sunset and the next dawn, because that is when the time for Isha ends -- it is not 12:00am.
