Question:
May Allah reward you. Is standing in prayer during the last third of the night better? Please clarify the time at which the last third occurs, especially regarding the difference between winter and summer.
Answer:
My brother, calculate the time from sunset to the appearance of the dawn, count how many hours that is, and divide it by three. Each of these three parts is the first third of the night, the middle third of the night, and the last third of the night. Yes.
