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 Ipswich today?
- Maghrib is at 6:26 pm today, Thursday 5 November 2026, at the Fatima Zahra Imamia Centre, 80 Downs Street, North Ipswich QLD 4305. That is 16 minutes after sunset, which is at 6:10 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 in Ipswich?
- Fajr begins at 3:41 am today, Thursday 5 November 2026, and the time for it ends at sunrise, 4:55 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; the Centre publishes Brisbane times, calculated for the CBD, on a page of their own.
- Are these Shia (Fiqh-e-Jafariya) namaz timings?
- Yes. Ja'fari, Jafari, Jafaria and Fiqh-e-Jafariya are spellings of the same school — the Twelver Shia (Isna Ashari) madhhab — and namaz is the Urdu and Persian word for salah. So these are the Shia namaz timings for North Ipswich, Queensland, calculated with the Shia Ithna-Ashari, Leva Research Institute, Qum parameters. They differ from the timings most Sunni methods publish, in Fajr and in Maghrib especially: Maghrib here is not sunset.
- 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.
