Prayer Times (Namaz Timings) for Any Location

About the Prayer Times (Namaz Timings) for Any Location

Find the times of the five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — and sunrise for any place and any date, calculated in your browser with the standard methods: Muslim World League, University of Islamic Sciences Karachi, ISNA, Egyptian General Authority of Survey, Umm al-Qura, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, the Moonsighting Committee, Singapore, Türkiye (Diyanet) and Tehran, or your own angles. Choose the standard or the Hanafi Asr, a rule for high latitudes, and add or subtract minutes to match your mosque.

The page shows the next prayer with a countdown, the middle and the last third of the night, the Qibla direction and the Hijri date, plus a monthly timetable and a Ramadan timetable with Sehri and Iftar times, both printable and downloadable as CSV. Search about 2,000 cities, use your device’s location or type coordinates; times follow the place’s time zone, daylight saving included.

Common uses

• Checking today’s namaz times, or the next prayer, at home or while travelling.
• Printing a monthly timetable for the home or a prayer room.
• Planning Sehri and Iftar for Ramadan, with the start your community follows.
• Comparing calculation methods to see which one matches your mosque’s timetable.

How prayer times are calculated

• Fajr begins at true dawn, when the Sun is a set angle below the horizon: 15° to 20°, depending on the method.
• Sunrise ends the time for Fajr: the upper edge of the Sun appears on the horizon.
• Dhuhr begins just after the Sun passes its highest point (solar noon); several methods add a minute or more.
• Asr begins when the shadow of an object equals its noon shadow plus its own length (the standard Asr of the Shafiʻi, Maliki and Hanbali schools) or plus twice its length (Hanafi), which is later in the afternoon.
• Maghrib begins at sunset.
• Isha begins when the twilight has gone, with the Sun about 14° to 18° below the horizon, or — in the Umm al-Qura and Qatar methods — 90 minutes after Maghrib (120 in Ramadan in Umm al-Qura).

The calculations use the open-source adhan library, whose solar positions follow J. Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms. This tool’s tests check its results against an independent calculation with the astronomy-engine library and against official timetables from Diyanet (Istanbul) and JAKIM e-Solat (Kuala Lumpur).

Which method should I use?

• University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°): widely used in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, usually with the Hanafi Asr. JAKIM’s e-Solat timetable for Kuala Lumpur runs 0 to 4 minutes after these 18° times all through the year (its precaution), while the 20° Fajr of the Singapore method comes about 10 minutes earlier, so the page starts with this method for Malaysia.
• Muslim World League (18°, 17°): a common default where no national method applies.
• Umm al-Qura (Fajr 18.5°, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib): Saudi Arabia’s official calendar.
• Egyptian (19.5°, 17.5°), Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, Türkiye and Tehran: the methods of those countries; the Türkiye method is an approximation of Diyanet’s.
• ISNA (15°, 15°) for North America, and the Moonsighting Committee (18° with seasonal adjustments), which the adhan library recommends for North America and the UK.
• Singapore (Fajr 20°, Isha 18°): used in Singapore and Indonesia, according to the adhan library’s methods guide.

Whichever you choose, follow your local mosque or Islamic authority for congregational prayers: many timetables add a few minutes of precaution, and some are based on local observation.

High latitudes and the midnight sun

North of about 48° (and as far south) the Sun does not sink 18° below the horizon on summer nights, so Fajr and Isha cannot be timed by the angle. A rule then caps them: middle of the night (Isha no later and Fajr no earlier than halfway between sunset and sunrise), one-seventh of the night (Isha within the first seventh of the night, Fajr within the last) or twilight angle (a part of the night in proportion to the angle). Beyond 48° north or south the calculator uses one-seventh, the rule the adhan library recommends above 48°; you can choose another rule under Calculation settings. On each day the rule sets a time, the page says so, and the monthly and Ramadan tables mark those times with an asterisk. The Moonsighting Committee method does not use these rules: it has its own seasonal adjustments, and one-seventh of the night from 55°.

Where the Sun does not set at all (the midnight sun), there is no sunrise, Maghrib, Isha or Fajr by the Sun; where it does not rise (the polar night), there is no sunrise, Asr or Maghrib, while Dhuhr and, as long as the Sun gets that far below the horizon, Fajr and Isha still have times. You can choose to use the nearest day or the nearest latitude that has a sunrise and a sunset, or follow your community’s timetable.

Limitations

• Calculated times can differ by a few minutes from a mosque’s timetable, which may add precautionary minutes or use local observation. Follow your mosque for congregational prayers.
• The start and end of Ramadan depend on the sighting of the moon. The timetable uses the Umm al-Qura calendar, which you can move by a day or two to match your community.
• Times are for a level horizon at sea level; mountains and tall buildings are not taken into account.
• At high latitudes in summer Fajr and Isha come from a rule rather than the Sun’s position, and near the poles some days have no sunrise or sunset at all.
• The Türkiye method approximates Diyanet’s timetable, and the Moonsighting Committee’s seasonal adjustments are applied as the adhan library implements them.
