I know the prayer times are advertised in the paper daily, but my question is: is their duration always approximate? I know they start with the call to prayer from the mosque ( I can hear it outside from my apartment ), but do they also end with a call? (If so, I will listen for it also). I want to know when the shops are open again so I can shop for my dinner at night. I keep mistaking the time and going out when no one is around in my local neighbourhood and the shops are shut. Thanks.

Prayer times changes, download any free prayer app to keep yourself updated. You can give yourself an average of half an hour after prayer times for shops to open.
