..The beginning of the day is from sunset, and the middle prayer; it is Fajr prayer
In the name of Allah the All Merciful, the Most Merciful, and peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds.
O my honorable brother, Allah had taught you in the Book from where the computation begins to the movement of time and the month, and everything Allah explained it in details in the Book. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness, and the moon a light, and ordained for it stages that you might know the computation of years and the reckoning. Allah created not this but with Truth. He manifests the signs for a people who know.}Truthful Allah the Great [Yusnus] 10:5
{هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاءً وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۚ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿5﴾} صدق الله العظيم [يونس].
Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And We made the night and the day two signs, then We have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you may know the numbering of years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything in details.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Esra] 17:12
{وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ ۖ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلًا ﴿12﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الإسراء].
{..And who is more truthful in word than Allah?}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Nisa] 4:122
{وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ قِيلًا} صدق الله العظيم [النساء:122].
Don’t you see that He made clear to you from where begin the time and computation for the day and from where the month starts? And Allah the Most High said:
{And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in darkness;(37) And the sun moves on to its destination. That is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knower.(38) And the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm-branch.(39) Neither is it for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. And all float on in an orbit.(40)}Truthful Allah the Great [Y.S.] 36:37-40
{وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ ﴿37﴾ وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ ﴿38﴾ وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ ﴿39﴾ لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ﴿40﴾} صدق الله العظيم [يس].
And in this verse He made clear exactly according the timing of the center of the earth and the universe on the day Allah created the universe and began the day and the month for the computation of time, and the time was at the starting of the earth’s movement at sunset and the appearing of dusk exactly, so the movement of earth began towards the east so the day began with entering of the darkness because of setting of the sun. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in darkness;}Truthful Allah the Great [Y.S.] 36:37
{وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ ﴿37﴾} صدق الله العظيم [يس].
ANd that night of the day had entered because of the earth’s movement easterly, then lo! they are in darkness because of sunset and the earth completes its rotation around itself after 24 hours so its day ends at sunset so the appointed-time of Asr prayers ends with sunset. In confirming with the word of Allah the Most High about His prophet Solomon:
{When well-bred, swift (horses) were brought to him at evening,(31) So he said, I love the good things on account of the remembrance of my Lord — until it got hidden behind the veil (horizon).(32)}Truthful Allah the Great [S] 38:31-32
{إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ الصَّافِنَاتُ الْجِيَادُ ﴿31﴾ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ ﴿32﴾} صدق الله العظيم [ص].
So the day ends with sunset and the entering of Maghrib prayer which it is first of the obligatory prayers (Allah) made it in the first appointed time of movement of time and months, and the day’s length is 24 hours, so if you wanted to know whichever of them is the middle hour, so that is the appointed time of the middle where you find it exactly the hour of dawn (Fajr) the middle of the twenty four hours, twelve hours night and twelve hours daylight (according to Kaaba time), so it became the middle hour is the Fajr hour.
And I did not find in the Book that the length of the day is twelve hours, in fact I found the length of the day in the Book is 24 Hours. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{..He said: Your sign is that you speak not to people three nights, equally-balanced.}Truthful Allah the Great [Maryam] 19:10
{قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا} صدق الله العظيم [مريم].
{equally-balanced} namely its night is twelve hours, and its daylight is twelve hours, so the day’s length became 24 hours that begins from sunset of the late afternoon so the night of the (new day) enters then it ends at the early morning and it is (Fajr) dawn where the daylight begins. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{He said: My Lord, appoint a sign for me. Said He: Your sign is that you speak not to men for three days except by signs. And remember thy Lord much and glorify (Him) in the late-afternoon and early morning.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Emran] 3:41
{ سَوِيًّا }
{قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً ۖ قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا ۗ وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ ﴿41﴾} صدق الله العظيم [آل عمران].
As that I find in the Book: That the complete day which its length is 24 hours; Allah names it in the Book a night or a day, and the day consists of
a night and
a daylight, and the day consists of night and daylight, and the appointed time of the day begins from dusk of the sunset, the day began from the appointed time of Maghrib and it is named in the Book a night, and its length is 24 hours. And Allah the Most High said:
{And We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed them with ten, so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights..}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Aaraf] 7:142
{وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَاثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً} صدق الله العظيم [الأعراف:142].
That is to say forty days, and the day consists of night and daylight, and the length of its night is 12 hours and the length of its daylight is 12 hours, so the middle prayer became between the two numbers 12 before it and 12 after it.
So the middle prayer became truly is Fajr prayer of the timely side, and of the counting side, and of the numerical side. And by the mind and logic as long as Allah said the middle prayer so it must be that there is before it two prayers and after it two prayers, and since that the day begins in the computation in the Book from dusk so it became the first prayer is the beginning of the day, so the day begins exactly with Maghrib prayer the first of the prayers undoubtedly, then it is feasible for you knowing the middle prayer exactly by the normal computation.
So the first of the prayer manifested by the Truth that it is
Maghrib, then
Esha, then
Fajr, then
Zuhr, and then
Asr, don’t you see that Allah explained everything in details? Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And We made the night and the day two signs, then We have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you may know the numbering of years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything in details.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Esra] 17:12
{وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ ۖ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلًا ﴿12﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الإسراء].
O folks do not follow whom they do not know,
{..And who is more truthful in word than Allah?}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Nisa] 4:122
{وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ قِيلًا} صدق الله العظيم [النساء:122].
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above what they describe, and peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds..
