Calculation

Each prayer's time lasts until the next one begins; Fajr ends at sunrise. Hanafi and Shafi'i differ only in when Asr begins (and so when Dhuhr ends); the other school's Asr is shown on the Asr card. Worked out for the centre of Zanzibar, Tanzania; your local masjid may differ by a few minutes, so follow its jama'ah times.
