What are the 5 daily Islamic prayer times?

The 5 daily prayers (Salah) are: Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night). Each prayer has a specific time window determined by the sun's position.

How are Islamic prayer times calculated?

Prayer times are calculated using your geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), the date, and a calculation method. Different Islamic bodies use slightly different angles for Fajr and Isha, leading to various methods such as MWL, ISNA, Egypt, Makkah, Karachi, and others.

What is the difference between Hanafi and Standard Asr time?

In the Standard (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali) method, Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height plus the noon shadow. In the Hanafi method, Asr begins when shadow equals twice the object's height plus noon shadow, making it approximately 1 hour later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Islamic prayer times and how to use this calculator.

What are the 5 daily prayers in Islam and their times?▼

The five obligatory daily prayers are: Fajr (pre-dawn, 2 Rak’at), Dhuhr (midday, 4 Rak’at), Asr (afternoon, 4 Rak’at), Maghrib (sunset, 3 Rak’at), and Isha (night, 4 Rak’at). Each has a specific time window based on the sun’s position, which varies daily and by location.

Why do prayer times change every day?▼

Prayer times are based on the sun’s position relative to the Earth. As Earth orbits the sun throughout the year, the timing of sunrise, sunset, and twilight changes every day. This causes Fajr, Maghrib, and other prayer times to shift gradually, differing by as much as 1–2 hours across the seasons.

Which prayer time calculation method should I use in Pakistan?▼

For Pakistan and South Asia, use University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (18° Fajr, 18° Isha). This is the officially used method by most mosques and Islamic authorities in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. For Gulf countries, use Umm Al-Qura. For UK/Europe, use MWL. For USA/Canada, use ISNA.

What is the Hanafi Asr time and how is it different?▼

In the Standard method, Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own height (plus noon shadow). In the Hanafi method, Asr begins when the shadow equals twice the object’s height — approximately 30–75 minutes later. Most mosques in Pakistan follow the Hanafi calculation.

How accurate is this prayer time calculator?▼

This calculator uses the standard astronomical prayer time algorithm — the same mathematical foundation used by major Islamic prayer apps. For best accuracy, ensure correct coordinates (GPS), the right calculation method, and correct timezone. Times should match your local mosque within ±1–2 minutes.

What is Tahajjud time and how is it calculated?▼

Tahajjud is the voluntary night prayer performed in the last third of the night before Fajr. To calculate: divide the total night duration (Maghrib to Fajr) into three parts. The last third begins two-thirds into the night. Our calculator shows this time in the extra times section after you calculate.

How do I find the Qibla direction from my location?▼

Qibla direction is calculated using the Great Circle formula between your location and the Kaaba (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), giving a bearing angle clockwise from True North. Use a compass and face that angle. In North America, Qibla faces northeast, which may seem counterintuitive but is the correct great-circle direction.

Can I use this prayer time calculator for any country?▼

Yes — this calculator works worldwide. Enter any city name (e.g. “Manchester, UK” or “Toronto, Canada”) or use GPS. Always select the calculation method used by your local mosque for best accuracy. At extreme latitudes (above 65°N or below 48°S), consult a local Islamic authority for special adjustments.
