About this tool
Prayer times follow the sun. Fajr begins at true dawn, when the sun is a set angle below the horizon (18° in most methods), Dhuhr just after midday, Asr when a shadow reaches the length of its object (twice that in the Hanafi school), Maghrib at sunset and Isha when twilight ends or a fixed time after Maghrib. Countries differ in the angles and intervals they use, so this page applies the method of each country's religious authority: the Qatar method, 18.2° for the UAE, Umm al-Qura for Saudi Arabia (Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib, 2 hours in Ramadan), the Kuwait method, and the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi for Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.
Where the authority publishes its timetable, that is what you see: Doha (and Lusail, Al Wakrah and Al Khor, which the Qatar Calendar House says share Doha's times) shows the Calendar House's monthly calendar, and Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam show the Umm al-Qura calendar, so the times match the mosques to the minute. A line under the times says which source is showing. Elsewhere, and for days the authority has not published yet, the times are calculated in your browser with the open-source adhan library and rounded the way that authority rounds its own tables (fitted to 148 days of the Qatar Calendar House's tables, two years of the Umm al-Qura calendar for five cities, and the UAE Awqaf's times): sunrise down, so Fajr never looks longer than it is, and Maghrib up, so the fast never ends early. Mosques sometimes call the azan a few minutes after the time; you can add those minutes yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which calculation method should I use?
The one your country's religious authority uses, which is chosen for you when you pick a city: Qatar, UAE, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Karachi for Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and the Moonsighting Committee in the UK and North America. Change it only if your mosque follows another method.
Why is Asr later in Pakistan?
Most mosques in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh follow the Hanafi school, where Asr begins when a shadow is twice the length of its object rather than equal to it. That makes Asr roughly 40 to 80 minutes later, depending on the season. Choose "Standard" for the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali time.
Are these the official prayer times?
In Doha and the Saudi cities, yes: the page shows the Qatar Calendar House's and the Umm al-Qura calendar's own tables for every day they have published, and says so under the times. For other cities, and for days not yet published, it calculates with the authority's method and rounding, which matches their tables to within a minute or two.
Why do these times differ from my mosque by a few minutes?
Mosques often add a few minutes as a precaution, and timetables use slightly different coordinates. Use "Adjust minutes" to match your mosque; the change is saved on this device.
Does "Use my location" send my location anywhere?
No. The browser gives your position to this page, the times are calculated on your device, and nothing is sent to a server. You can also just pick a city.
Is the Hijri date on this page official?
It comes from the Umm al-Qura calendar. The start of Ramadan and the Eids is confirmed by moon sighting, so the date where you live can differ by a day.
