How to find prayer times for your city and date
Get Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for any place and date, with your calculation method, Asr school and a countdown to the next prayer.
- Choose your city from the list, tap Use my location and allow location access, or type the latitude, longitude and time zone yourself.
- Pick the calculation method your mosque or country follows. The tool suggests one for the listed cities, such as Umm al-Qura for Saudi Arabia or ISNA for North America.
- Choose the Asr method: Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) or Hanafi, which gives a later Asr.
- Leave the high-latitude rule on Automatic unless your community uses a specific rule for summer nights.
- Pick a date to see that day's six times, and read the countdown to the next prayer for today. Copy the times if you want to share them.
When a prayer times calculator helps
The five daily prayers are tied to the position of the sun: Fajr from true dawn until sunrise, Dhuhr after the sun passes its highest point, Asr in the afternoon by the length of shadows, Maghrib at sunset and Isha when the evening twilight has gone. Because these moments shift every day and depend on latitude and longitude, a calculator is the easiest way to know them when you travel, move to a new city or live where no local timetable is published.
The tool also helps when you want to compare methods, plan the day around prayer, or check a time for a future date such as a wedding, a flight or a school event.
Worked example: London on 15 October 2026
For London (51.5074° N, 0.1278° W) on 15 October 2026 with the Muslim World League method and the standard Asr, the tool gives Fajr 05:33, sunrise 07:24, Dhuhr 12:47, Asr 15:31, Maghrib 18:07 and Isha 19:52 British Summer Time. With the Hanafi Asr the same day, Asr moves to 16:15, because the shadow must reach twice the object's length.
In Makkah on 1 November 2026 with Umm al-Qura, the times are Fajr 05:06, sunrise 06:24, Dhuhr 12:04, Asr 15:19, Maghrib 17:45 and Isha 19:15. Umm al-Qura sets Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib, and 120 minutes during Ramadan, which the tool applies automatically.
How the times are calculated
The tool uses the open-source adhan library, which computes the sun's position from standard astronomical formulas. Dhuhr is the moment the sun crosses the meridian; sunrise and Maghrib are when the top of the sun touches the horizon, allowing for refraction. Fajr and Isha are when the sun is a set angle below the horizon: 18° and 17° for the Muslim World League, 15° for ISNA, 19.5° and 17.5° for the Egyptian method, while Umm al-Qura and Qatar use a fixed interval for Isha.
Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length plus its shadow at noon (the standard view of the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools) or twice its length plus the noon shadow (the Hanafi view). In summer at high latitudes the sun may never go 18° below the horizon, so a high-latitude rule such as one-seventh of the night or the middle of the night sets Fajr and Isha instead.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is the wrong time zone: if you enter coordinates by hand, choose the zone of that place, not of your device. Another is mixing methods, for example comparing an ISNA Fajr with a mosque that uses 18°; the difference can be 15 to 30 minutes.
Treat calculated times as accurate to about a minute or two, not to the second. Elevation, the local horizon and atmospheric conditions all shift sunrise and sunset slightly, which is why many communities add a few minutes of precaution.
Useful tips and limitations
- If your mosque publishes a timetable, use it for congregational prayers; this tool shows the astronomical times for your chosen method.
- Switch on 12-hour times if you prefer AM and PM.
- For travel, choose the destination city before you leave and copy its times.
- Check the date picker before Ramadan or a trip; the times change by a minute or more every few days.
Common questions
Which calculation method should I choose for prayer times?
Use the one your local mosque or national authority follows. Common choices are Muslim World League in Europe and much of the world, ISNA in North America, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, Karachi in South Asia and the Egyptian method in much of Africa and the Middle East.
Why are the Prayer Times different from my mosque's timetable?
Mosques may use a different method, add a few minutes of precaution, round to five minutes or fix Isha at a set time in summer. Differences of one to five minutes are normal.
Why is Isha so late in summer in northern countries?
In summer the sun stays only a little below the horizon at night, so evening twilight lasts for hours. Above about 48° latitude it may not end at all, which is why the high-latitude rules exist.
Can the Prayer Times tool show 12-hour times?
Yes. Tick Show 12-hour times to see AM and PM. The copied summary uses the same format.
Does the Prayer Times tool work offline?
