Accurate Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times for any city or your current location, with a live countdown to the next prayer. Times are calculated for your exact coordinates and timezone.
Muslims pray five obligatory prayers (salah) each day, at times set by the position of the sun. Each prayer has a window that opens and closes at a specific moment:
| Prayer | Arabic | When it begins |
|---|---|---|
| Fajr | الفجر | At dawn (true twilight), before sunrise |
| Sunrise | الشروق | Marks the end of the Fajr window |
| Dhuhr | الظهر | Just after the sun passes its highest point at midday |
| Asr | العصر | Mid-to-late afternoon, when shadows lengthen |
| Maghrib | المغرب | Just after sunset |
| Isha | العشاء | At nightfall, once twilight disappears |
Prayer times come from the angle of the sun at your exact latitude and longitude. Dhuhr, Asr, sunrise and Maghrib are tied to the sun's visible position, while Fajr and Isha depend on the angle of the sun below the horizon during twilight. Different Islamic authorities use slightly different twilight angles, which is why several calculation methods exist.
Choose the method your local mosque or Islamic authority follows. The differences mainly affect Fajr and Isha:
| Method | Commonly used in |
|---|---|
| Muslim World League | Europe, Far East, parts of the US (default) |
| ISNA (North America) | United States & Canada |
| Umm al-Qura | Saudi Arabia |
| University of Karachi | Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan |
| Egyptian General Authority | Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Malaysia |
| Dubai / Kuwait / Qatar | Gulf states |
| Turkey (Diyanet) | Turkey |
The two schools calculate the start of Asr differently. In the Standard method (Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali), Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its own length. In the Hanafi method it begins when the shadow is twice the object's length, so Hanafi Asr falls noticeably later in the afternoon. Pick whichever your community follows.
Prayer times are computed from the sun's position at your coordinates using standard astronomical methods. The default method is Muslim World League, and Asr uses the Shafi (standard) madhab unless you change it.
Yes. When you use your location or search a city, times are calculated for those exact coordinates and shown in that location's timezone. Local mosque times may vary by a minute or two.
The five obligatory prayers are Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (just after midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (just after sunset) and Isha (night). Sunrise is also shown because it marks the end of the Fajr window.
Use the method your local mosque or Islamic authority follows. Common choices are Muslim World League (default), ISNA for North America, Umm al-Qura for Saudi Arabia, University of Karachi for South Asia, and the Egyptian General Authority for much of Africa and the Levant.
In the Shafi (standard) method Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its own length; in the Hanafi method it begins when the shadow is twice the object's length, so Hanafi Asr is later in the afternoon.
