How prayer times are calculated
Prayer times follow the Sun’s apparent movement, so they can be calculated precisely for any place from its latitude, longitude and the date. This page does that with the open-source adhan library and shows the results in the city’s local time.
- Fajr: when the Sun is a set angle below the horizon before sunrise — 18.5° in the Umm al-Qura method.
- Sunrise: when the Sun’s disc appears; not a prayer, but the end of Fajr time.
- Dhuhr: just after the Sun passes its highest point.
- Asr: when an object’s shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow (majority view), or twice its length (Hanafi).
- Maghrib: at sunset.
- Isha: 90 minutes after Maghrib in Umm al-Qura (120 minutes in Ramadan); in other methods, when twilight reaches a set angle.
Calculation methods available
Authorities differ on the Fajr and Isha angles, so the main recognised methods are included. Each city starts with the method most used in its country:
| Method | Fajr | Isha | Mainly used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Umm al-Qura | 18.5° | 90 min after Maghrib | Saudi Arabia |
| Egyptian General Authority of Survey | 19.5° | 17.5° | Egypt, Sudan, the Levant, Iraq |
| Muslim World League | 18° | 17° | Europe, parts of Asia and Africa |
| Kuwait | 18° | 17.5° | Kuwait |
| Qatar | 18° | 90 min after Maghrib | Qatar |
| Dubai | 18.2° | 18.2° | United Arab Emirates |
| Karachi | 18° | 18° | Pakistan, India, Bangladesh |
| North America (ISNA) | 15° | 15° | United States, Canada |
Why your mosque may differ by a few minutes
Calculated times show when each prayer begins astronomically at the chosen coordinates. Your local mosque may call the adhan a minute or two later because of its position in the city, safety margins added by local authorities, or a different calculation method. Across a large city the difference between its eastern and western edges can be a few minutes.
For the most precise times, use your current location, and follow the official timetable in your country where one exists. To find the direction of the Kaaba from where you are, use the Qibla finder.
Frequently asked questions
Which calculation method is used?
Umm al-Qura for Saudi cities and the most common method in each country for other cities. You can change it in the “Calculation method” menu.
Does Isha change during Ramadan?
Yes. With Umm al-Qura, Isha is two hours after Maghrib instead of ninety minutes throughout Ramadan, and the tool applies this automatically.
What is the difference between standard and Hanafi Asr?
In the majority view Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its length; in the Hanafi school, when it is twice its length — usually 30 to 60 minutes later.
Do I have to share my location?
No — you can pick a city from the list. Sharing your location is optional, gives times for your exact spot and stays on your device.
Can I print the monthly timetable?
Yes. Use your browser’s print command to print the monthly table below today’s times.
Is there a page for each city?
Yes. Every city in the list has its own page with a fixed address, such as prayer times in Riyadh or Madinah, which you can bookmark.
