What prayer times are

Muslims pray five times a day, and the time of each prayer is set by the position of the Sun — which is why the times change every day and from city to city.

Fajr

Dawn — when the Sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, before sunrise.

Sunrise

Marks the end of the Fajr prayer window.

Dhuhr

Just after midday, once the Sun passes its highest point.

Asr

Afternoon — when an object’s shadow reaches a set length (by madhab).

Maghrib

Just after sunset.

Isha

Night — once twilight has fully disappeared.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five daily prayers?

Islam prescribes five daily prayers (salah): Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr after midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset, and Isha at night. Each has a time window defined by the position of the Sun, which is why prayer times shift slightly every day and differ by city.

How are prayer times calculated?

Prayer times are purely astronomical — they come from the Sun’s altitude at your latitude and longitude. Sunrise and Maghrib are at the horizon, Dhuhr is solar noon, Asr is when an object’s shadow reaches a set length, and Fajr and Isha are when the Sun is a fixed angle below the horizon (the twilight depression). We compute the Sun’s position with the same astronomy our panchang engine uses and verify every value against the Aladhan reference to within a minute.

Which calculation method should I use?

The methods differ only in the twilight angles used for Fajr and Isha. Muslim World League (MWL) is a common worldwide default; ISNA is widely used in North America; Egyptian, Umm al-Qura (for Saudi Arabia) and University of Karachi (for South Asia) follow regional conventions. Pick the one your local mosque follows — our city pages let you switch instantly and recompute.

What is the difference between Shafi and Hanafi Asr?

Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own length plus its noon shadow (the Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali view) or twice its length plus its noon shadow (the Hanafi view). The Hanafi Asr is therefore later in the afternoon. Choose your madhab on any city page and the Asr time updates.

How accurate are these times?

Accuracy is our priority. Our engine matches the Aladhan API (the calculation engine behind IslamicFinder-class sites) to within about a minute across cities from Makkah to London, for the same method. Times are computed from precise solar astronomy, not lookup tables, so they are correct for any date.

How is the Qibla direction found?

The Qibla is the initial great-circle bearing from your location to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). On a globe the shortest path is an arc, so the compass bearing is not simply “towards Makkah on a flat map” — we compute the true initial heading, which matches published Qibla bearings.

Why is the Hijri date sometimes a day off?

We show the tabular Islamic civil calendar, an arithmetic calendar with a fixed 30-year leap cycle. The religious calendar depends on the actual sighting of the new moon, so the two can differ by about a day. For Ramadan, Eid and Hajj, always confirm with your local moon-sighting authority.

Is my location stored anywhere?

No. Everything is computed in your browser. We do not run a backend, we do not log your location, and there are no ads or trackers selling your data. That is the whole point — fast, accurate prayer times with your privacy intact.
