Islam


The sun was directly over the Kaaba today at midday in a celestial phenomenon known as "zero shadow." 



Many Islamic practices and rituals are arranged around the movements of the sun. Four of the five daily Namaaz offerings are linked to its rotation --

  1. fajir (dawn), 
  2. zuhar (noon), 
  3. asar (late afternoon), and 
  4. maghreb (sunset). 
Likewise, Ramadan fast starts before sunrise and is broken at sunset.
