How to use the Prayer Times
Choose your city or press Use my location. For other places pick Custom coordinates and enter latitude, longitude and time zone.
Check the calculation method: it is set automatically for preset cities; change it to match your local mosque if needed.
Select the Asr madhab: Standard for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali, or Hanafi for the later Asr time.
Read today's times and the countdown to the next prayer. Pick another date to see a different day.
Scroll to the monthly timetable to print it or download it as a CSV file.
How prayer times are calculated
The five daily prayer times follow the position of the Sun at your location, so they change every day and with latitude. Each time is found from the Sun's declination and the equation of time for that date:
Fajr: when the Sun is a set angle below the eastern horizon (dawn twilight), e.g. 18° for the Muslim World League.
Sunrise: when the top of the Sun appears, at 0.833° below the horizon (allowing for refraction and the Sun's radius). Fajr ends here; it is not a prayer time.
Dhuhr: just after solar noon, when the Sun crosses the meridian. Most methods add a minute or so as a safety margin.
Asr: when an object's shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow (standard), or twice its length plus its noon shadow (Hanafi).
Maghrib: at sunset (the Tehran method waits until the Sun is 4.5° below the horizon).
Isha: when the Sun reaches the night twilight angle, or a fixed 90 minutes after Maghrib for Umm al-Qura and Qatar.
The hour angle for a given Sun altitude a is H = arccos((sin a − sin φ · sin δ) / (cos φ · cos δ)), where φ is your latitude and δ the Sun's declination. Morning times are solar noon − H/15 hours, evening times solar noon + H/15 hours.

A larger Fajr angle gives an earlier Fajr; at mid-latitudes each degree moves Fajr by roughly 4–6 minutes. Your local mosque may publish a timetable with its own adjustments, and that timetable should always take priority.
High latitudes
North of about 48° (London, Paris, Berlin, Seattle, Stockholm) the Sun may not sink 15–18° below the horizon on summer nights, so Fajr and Isha are undefined by angle alone. A high latitude rule then limits them to a share of the night (sunset to sunrise): middle of the night (½), one-seventh of the night, or an angle-based share (angle ÷ 60).
Frequently asked questions
Why are these prayer times different from my mosque's timetable?
Mosques choose a calculation method and often add a few minutes of precaution (ihtiyat) to some prayers. Choose the same method and Asr madhab as your mosque to get within a minute or two; if your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow it.
Which calculation method should I use?
Use the method of the authority in your country: ISNA in the USA and Canada, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, Egyptian in Egypt, Karachi in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, Diyanet in Turkey and the Muslim World League in Europe and many other places. Preset cities select a sensible default automatically.
What is the difference between Hanafi and standard Asr?
Standard Asr (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) begins when an object's shadow equals its own length plus the shadow it had at noon. Hanafi Asr begins when the shadow is twice the object's length plus the noon shadow, which is usually 30 to 75 minutes later depending on season and latitude.
How does the next prayer countdown work?
It compares the current time with today's times at the selected location, in that location's time zone, and counts down to the next of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha. After Isha it counts down to tomorrow's Fajr. Sunrise is shown for reference but is not counted as a prayer.
Is my location sent anywhere?
No. If you press Use my location, the browser shares your coordinates with this page only, and all times are calculated locally in JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server; your settings are saved only in your browser.
Why do Fajr and Isha look odd in summer at high latitudes?
Above about 48° latitude the Sun may not go deep enough below the horizon for the twilight angle to be reached, so Fajr and Isha are limited by a high latitude rule (middle of the night, one-seventh of the night, or angle-based). Try the different rules and compare with your local mosque.
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
It is the initial great-circle bearing from your coordinates to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), measured clockwise from true north. A magnetic compass points to magnetic north, which can differ from true north by several degrees depending on where you are.
