Question 1

Should I pray Isha before bed or can I delay it a bit?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to pray Isha soon after its time begins so you don’t forget or become too tired. But Islam gives flexibility—its time extends until Fajr. If you prefer praying right before bed, that’s perfectly fine. What matters most is consistency, not speed; make Isha the final, peaceful act of your day.

Question 2

What are the rewards of praying Isha on time?

Accepted Answer

The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever prays Isha in congregation is as if they spent half the night in worship. Praying it on time strengthens your faith, brings tranquility to your heart, and guards you through the night. It’s one of the quiet but powerful acts that multiply blessings in your life.

Question 3

When does Isha prayer time begin and end in Maiduguri?

Accepted Answer

Isha begins right after the twilight disappears—when the red glow of the sunset is completely gone. It lasts until just before Fajr, giving you a long window to pray. Still, it’s best to perform it earlier in the night, while you’re alert and focused, so you can rest with a clear heart.

Question 4

Why is there usually a gap between Maghrib and Isha in Maiduguri?

Accepted Answer

The gap exists because Isha starts only after twilight completely disappears. That time allows the sky to fully darken. It’s also a moment of rest and reflection between the two prayers—a small pause before night truly begins. Many people use it to eat, spend time with family, or quietly prepare for Isha.
