  • Calculated times can differ from your mosque's timetable by a few minutes, and many mosques add a margin. Your local mosque or official authority takes priority.

How prayer times are worked out

Dhuhr = solar noon · Maghrib = sunset · Fajr and Isha = the sun at a set angle below the horizon · Asr = shadow length × 1 or 2, plus the noon shadow

The sun's position is calculated for your date and place, then each prayer is the moment the sun reaches its angle. The calculations are checked against the reference timetables of the open-source Adhan library to within a minute.

Questions people ask

Which calculation method should I use?

The one your local mosques follow. Pakistan, India and Bangladesh mostly use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (Fajr and Isha at 18°). Saudi Arabia uses Umm al-Qura, the UAE its own Dubai method, North America ISNA, and much of Europe the Muslim World League.

Why is Hanafi Asr later?

Hanafi Asr begins when an object's shadow is twice its length plus its noon shadow; the Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools use once its length. In Karachi in late October that's about 4:20 pm against 3:31 pm.

Why don't these times match my mosque exactly?

Mosques often add a few minutes of margin, round to fixed times, or use local observation. Calculated times can differ by a few minutes. Your mosque's timetable takes priority.

What happens in summer at high latitudes?

In places like the UK in June, twilight may never fully end. The calculator then limits Fajr and Isha to a share of the night (the angle-based rule) so the times stay usable.
