Choose a city (the search covers all GCC capitals and major cities, Egypt, the Levant, North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America), or press "Use my location" where your browser offers it. The page shows today's six times, highlights the next prayer and lists the next seven days. Times are shown in the city's own time zone, with daylight saving time applied.
Times are calculated, not looked up. The sun's declination and the equation of time come from the U.S. Naval Observatory's approximate solar coordinates; Dhuhr is solar noon; sunrise and Maghrib are when the sun's upper edge touches the horizon (0.833° below it, allowing for refraction); Fajr and Isha are when the sun is a set angle below the horizon; and Asr is when an object's shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) or twice its length plus the noon shadow (Hanafi).
Methods: Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°); Islamic Society of North America (15°, 15°); Egyptian General Authority of Survey (19.5°, 17.5°); Umm al-Qura, Makkah (Fajr 18.5°, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib, 120 minutes in Ramadan); University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (18°, 18°). The page picks a common method for the selected country, and you can change it.
These times can differ by a few minutes from your local mosque or official authority, which may add precautionary minutes or use a different method. Follow your local official timetable.
How to use it
- Search your city, or press "Use my location" if it is shown and allow location access (your coordinates stay in the browser).
- Check the calculation method and Asr school; adjust them to match your local practice.
- Read today's times and the next-prayer line, or pick another date.
- Use the 7-day table for planning, and compare it with your mosque's timetable.
Frequently asked questions
Why do these times differ from my mosque?
Authorities often add a few precautionary minutes (for example to Dhuhr or Maghrib), round to the minute differently, or use another twilight angle. Differences of 1–5 minutes are normal; always follow your local official timetable.
Which method should I use?
Use the one your local authority uses: Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, the Egyptian General Authority in Egypt, the Karachi method in Pakistan and much of South Asia, ISNA in parts of North America, and the Muslim World League in many other places. Your mosque can confirm.
What is the difference between Standard and Hanafi Asr?
Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) Asr starts when an object's shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow; Hanafi Asr starts when the shadow is twice the length plus the noon shadow. Hanafi Asr is therefore later, often by 40 minutes to over an hour.
What is the high-latitude rule for?
Far from the equator in summer, the sun may never sink 15–19.5° below the horizon, so Fajr and Isha are undefined. The rule limits them to a portion of the night: proportional to the angle (angle-based), one-seventh of the night, or the middle of the night. It only changes times when the plain calculation fails or exceeds that portion.
Is my location sent anywhere?
No. "Use my location" asks your browser for coordinates only when you press it, and they are used in this page only. They are not stored in the address or sent to a server.
