What Are the Daily Prayer Times?
Fajr, Dhuhr and Asr Prayer Times
Fajr begins at true dawn (Fajr-i Sadiq, the start of Imsak) and may be prayed until sunrise. As the first prayer of the day, it is 4 rakats including sunnah and fard. Dhuhr starts when the sun has crossed the meridian and continues until Asr enters. It is 10 rakats in the Hanafi school: 4 sunnah, 4 fard, 2 sunnah. On Fridays, men perform Jumu'ah in place of Dhuhr. Asr begins when the shadow of an object equals twice its length according to the Hanafi school, or equal to its length according to the Shafi school, and continues until sunset.
Maghrib, Isha and Witr Prayer Times
Maghrib begins exactly at sunset and coincides with iftar in Ramadan. It can be prayed until Isha time begins. Isha begins when the sun is 17 degrees below the horizon and lasts until true dawn (the start of Imsak). In the Hanafi school, delaying it past midnight is disliked. Witr is a wajib (obligatory) prayer in the Hanafi school performed after Isha and consists of three rakats. It can be performed up until Imsak.
Jumu'ah and Eid Prayer Times
Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) begins right after the sun leaves its zenith, i.e. at the start of Dhuhr time, and can be prayed until Asr begins. The meridian crossing of the sun shifts daily with the seasons, so weekly Jumu'ah times drift forward or backward by a few minutes. Eid prayers (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha) are performed roughly 45 minutes after sunrise until about 20 minutes before zawal. Eid prayer is sunnah and is recommended in congregation. Check the local mosque schedule for the exact time.
How Are Prayer Times Calculated?
Diyanet, MWL, ISNA and Other Calculation Methods
Prayer times are computed from astronomical formulas based on the sun's angle below the horizon. Standard parameters are: Fajr at −18° to −19° for Diyanet/MWL, −15° for ISNA, and −19.5° for Egyptian General Authority. Isha at −17° (Diyanet), −17° (MWL), or −15° (ISNA). Maghrib at sunset (0°), Dhuhr at solar noon, and Asr based on shadow ratio (Shafi: shadow equals object length; Hanafi: shadow equals twice the object length). A small precaution buffer of 2 to 5 minutes is often added.
How Latitude, Longitude and Sun Position Affect Times
Prayer times depend strongly on geographic coordinates. A 15-degree shift in longitude corresponds to about one hour difference in solar time, so cities to the east have earlier sunrise and Fajr. Latitude affects how steeply the sun descends below the horizon, so cities further from the equator have longer or shorter day lengths depending on the season. This calculator uses the exact coordinates of the selected city automatically.
What Are Makruh (Disliked) Times for Prayer?
Sunrise, Solar Zenith (Zawal) and Sunset Windows
Islamic jurisprudence identifies three short windows tied to specific solar positions. In the Hanafi school, voluntary, missed (qada) and Witr prayers are not performed in these windows :
From sunrise until the sun has risen about a spear's length (roughly 5 degrees). No prayer is performed in this window.
The brief moment when the sun is exactly at the meridian (its highest point). The Shafi school exempts Friday from this rule.
From the time the sun turns pale until it sets. If that day's Asr has not been prayed yet, it can still be prayed now, but delaying it this long is disliked.
Why Is Prayer Disliked During These Times?
Classical fiqh sources explain that these disliked times exist to avoid coinciding with the worship hours of sun-worshipping communities. In the Hanafi school, voluntary, missed (qada) and Witr prayers are not performed in these three windows, and obligatory (fard) prayers should not be deliberately delayed into them. The Shafi school allows missed prayers in these windows as well.
