What are the five daily prayers?
Muslims pray five times a day: Fajr (dawn, before sunrise), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (just after sunset) and Isha (night). The exact time of each prayer changes every day with the position of the sun, so it is different in every city.
How are prayer times calculated?
Prayer times are calculated from the sun’s position for your city. Pakistan and India use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, the USA uses the ISNA method, and other countries use the Muslim World League method. Times come from Aladhan. Local mosque times can differ by a few minutes.
Why do namaz times change every day?
Namaz times follow the sun, and the sun does not rise and set at the same time every day. In winter the days are short, so Fajr comes later in the morning and Maghrib comes early in the evening. In summer the days are long, so Fajr comes very early and Isha comes late at night. That is why a fixed timetable never works for the whole year, and why it is best to check the namaz times for your own city every day.
Your city matters too. Two cities in the same country can have different times, because the sun rises earlier in the east than in the west. Karachi and Lahore do not share the same Fajr time, and London and New York are hours apart. This tool gives you the times for your own place, so you do not have to guess from another city’s timetable.
How to plan your day around namaz times
Most people find it easy to fit the five prayers into a normal day once they know the times in advance. Fajr comes before sunrise, so it is the first thing in the day, before work or school. Dhuhr falls around midday, which often lines up with a lunch break. Asr comes in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset, and Isha at night, before sleep.
If you travel, check the times for the city you are going to, not the city you left. A short trip can move Maghrib by half an hour or more. And if you pray at a mosque, remember that the mosque’s Jamaat time is often a few minutes after the time shown here. The time on this page is when the prayer time starts; the mosque sets its own time for the congregation.
What is the Hijri date shown on this page?
Along with the prayer times, this page shows the Hijri date. The Hijri calendar is the Islamic lunar calendar, and its months follow the moon, not the sun. That is why Ramadan, Eid and other Islamic dates move about eleven days earlier each year on the normal calendar. The Hijri date on this page updates every day, just like the namaz times.
Namaz times in Ramadan
In Ramadan the same five prayer times matter even more, because Sehri ends at Fajr and Iftar begins at Maghrib. Many people check the Fajr and Maghrib times every day in Ramadan, since a few minutes make a real difference to the fast. This tool shows both times for your city, so you can plan Sehri and Iftar without a separate timetable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a reminder at prayer time?
Yes. Tap ‘Remind me at prayer time’ on this page and allow notifications. Your browser will notify you when the next prayer time arrives. A subscriber reminder that works even when this page is closed is coming soon.
Which countries are covered?
All countries. Select any country and city from the list, or use your location. Pakistan, India and the USA have ready city lists; for other countries, just type your city name.
Why do prayer times differ between websites?
Different websites use different calculation methods, so times can differ by a few minutes. Our times use the standard method for each country.
Why does my mosque time differ by a few minutes?
The time on this page is the start of the prayer time, worked out from the sun’s position for your city. A mosque usually holds the congregation a few minutes later, so that people have time to reach the mosque and make wudu. The difference is normal, and it does not mean either time is wrong. For the exact Jamaat time, check your local mosque’s notice board.
Do namaz times stay the same all year?
No. They change a little every day as the days get longer or shorter, and they are different in every city. The biggest change comes with the seasons. That is why this page gives fresh times for today, for the country and city you pick, instead of a printed timetable that goes out of date.
