Prayer times calculated using precise astronomical formulae (Meeus, Jean — Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Ed.).
Always verify with a local mosque for Fajr/Isha during high-latitude or extreme season conditions.
There is something very peaceful about Salah. Five times a day, you stop everything. You face the Qibla. You speak directly to Allah. It does not matter if you are in Karachi, London, New York, or anywhere else on this planet.
But to pray on time, you need the right time. That is what this tool is for. Our Prayer Times Today 2026 calculator gives you exact times for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — every single day, for your exact location.
You do not need to buy a prayer app. You do not need to keep track of which timetable is correct. Just open this page, and your prayer times are ready — right there at the top of the screen.
This calculator uses your GPS location or your city name. It then calculates the sun's exact position for that moment. The times are accurate to the minute. We fully support the Hanafi Asr method, used by millions of Muslims across South Asia, Turkey, and Central Asia.
We built this for everyday Muslims. It is simple, fast, and completely free. No sign-up needed. Just honest, accurate prayer times every day of the year.
Using the calculator at the top of this page is very easy. There are two simple ways to get your prayer times.
Click the "Detect My Location" button. Your browser will ask permission to share your location. Click "Allow." The calculator reads your GPS coordinates and shows your prayer times instantly. This is the fastest method and works very well on mobile phones.
Type your city name in the search box. For example, type "Lahore," "Manchester," or "Toronto." Select your city from the list that appears. The calculator finds your exact coordinates and shows your times right away. This is also great if you want times for a different city — for example, when planning a trip.
The calculator has a dropdown for the calculation method. Different Islamic organisations use slightly different methods. Common choices include MWL (Muslim World League), ISNA, and Karachi (University of Islamic Sciences). Choose the one your local mosque or Islamic authority recommends.
There is also an option for Asr Method. Choose "Hanafi" if you follow the Hanafi school of thought. Choose "Standard" for the Shafi, Maliki, or Hanbali method. We explain this difference in detail further down the page.
By default, the calculator shows today's prayer times. You can also select any future date to plan ahead. This is very useful for Ramadan planning or when you are travelling to a new city.
Allah (SWT) tied our five prayers to the position of the sun. This is not just poetic — it is a precise scientific system. Each prayer starts at a specific moment defined by the sun's angle in the sky. Here is a simple breakdown of all five.
| Prayer | Solar Definition | In Simple Words |
|---|---|---|
Fajrالفجر | Sun is 18° below the horizon at dawn | Before sunrise. A faint white light appears along the horizon. |
Dhuhrالظهر | Just after solar noon — sun passes its highest point | Midday. The sun has peaked and begins moving west. |
Asrالعصر | Shadow equals object height (Standard) or double (Hanafi) | Afternoon. The sun is lower in the western sky. |
Maghribالمغرب | Immediately after the sun dips below the horizon | Just after sunset. The orange glow is still visible. |
Ishaالعشاء | Sun is 17° below the horizon — twilight fully gone | Full night. The sky is completely dark. |
The calculator measures all these angles using your latitude and longitude. This is why prayer times change every day — and why they look very different in Karachi versus Oslo. A Muslim in each city is praying at the correct Islamic time, but the clock shows a very different number.
In far-northern countries during summer, the sun barely sets. Fajr and Isha times can become very close together. Our calculator handles this using conventions from major Islamic organisations and will show you a practical time based on the nearest safe equivalent.
This is one of the most common questions Muslims ask. Why does the mosque timetable show a different Asr time from the app? The answer is the Madhab — the school of Islamic law you follow.
There are four main Sunni schools: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali. On Asr time, the Hanafi school differs from the other three.
Asr begins when the shadow of an object equals the object's own height, plus the shadow at noon. This gives an earlier Asr — usually earlier in the afternoon.
Asr begins when the shadow becomes twice the object's height, plus the noon shadow. This gives a later Asr — usually 30 to 90 minutes after the Standard method.
Both are correct. They come from different Hadith narrations. If your family is from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, or Turkey, you almost certainly follow the Hanafi method. If you are from the Arab world or follow Shafi'i, Maliki, or Hanbali Fiqh, use the Standard method.
Our calculator supports both. Just select your preference in the Asr Method dropdown, and the correct time appears immediately.
If your local mosque is Hanafi, select "Hanafi" in the Asr dropdown. The times will match your mosque's printed schedule very closely. A small remaining difference — usually 2 to 5 minutes — is the mosque's built-in safety margin.
"The best deed in the sight of Allah is Salah prayed at its proper time."— Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim (narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, radiyallahu anhu)
This Hadith is clear. Not the longest prayer. Not the most beautiful recitation. The prayer done on time is the best deed you can do in that moment.
When the adhan sounds, you do not need to be a scholar. You do not need to be perfect. You just need to stop what you are doing and pray. That simple act — praying at the start of the time — is one of the most beloved things you can do.
When you pray at the first opportunity, you are choosing Allah before everything else. You are saying — with your body and your heart — that worship matters more than the meeting, the meal, or the screen in your hand. This is Tawadu. And Allah loves it.
If you delay the prayer, life gets in the way. The call comes in. The child needs something. The traffic starts. Suddenly Dhuhr becomes Asr and you pray it rushed and guilty. Many of us know this feeling well.
When you pray early, you set the tone for the next few hours. The Prophet ﷺ described prayer as a "refreshment" (qurrat al-ayn). You feel lighter after you pray. You focus better. Your day has direction.
Try this for one week. When the prayer time enters, put down whatever you are doing within the first ten minutes. Just try it for seven days. Many Muslims who made this one small change say it transformed their whole relationship with Salah. It went from a duty to a gift they look forward to.
Use our Prayer Times Today 2026 calculator every morning. Look at your five times for the day. Make a small mental note for each one. When Fajr enters, wake up. When Dhuhr enters, step away from the desk. Let the sun be your reminder — exactly as Allah intended.
Praying on time also means praying in the right direction. The Qibla is the direction of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah. Our calculator also shows you the Qibla degree for your city. So you always know which way to face, wherever you are in the world — at home, in a hotel, or at work.
Salah is the foundation of your day. But there are other important Islamic duties too. Here are three free tools that Muslims rely on every year at ZakatCalculators.com.
All our tools are built with the same goal: to make important Islamic duties simple and clear for every Muslim, no matter where they live or what their background is.
The best way is to use this calculator with your exact GPS location. Fajr time changes every day — sometimes by just one or two minutes, but it adds up across a full month. Auto-detect gives you the most precise result. If you prefer a printed timetable, download one from a trusted local Islamic organisation. Always remember that Fajr ends at sunrise, so you have a window — but do not delay it too close to sunrise if you can help it.
The general ruling from most scholars is that you use the prayer times of the city you departed from, or the city you are flying over at the time of the prayer. If a prayer time enters while you are in the air, try to pray on the plane — even sitting down if you cannot stand. Face the Qibla as best you can. If you are unsure of the direction, your best estimate (Ijtihad) is acceptable. Many airlines now show the Qibla on the seat screen. If praying in its time is genuinely impossible, you may join and shorten prayers (Qasr and Jama') as a traveller.
There are a few reasons. First, the mosque may use a different calculation method — MWL, ISNA, Karachi, and others can all give slightly different results. Second, the mosque often adds a few minutes of precaution. Third, the mosque may follow a regional Islamic council that uses adjusted times for the whole city. These differences are usually only 2 to 10 minutes. Both the calculator and the mosque are working correctly — they are just using slightly different inputs. When in doubt, follow your local mosque for congregation prayers and use this calculator for your personal reference.
Yes, absolutely. During Ramadan, Suhoor ends at Fajr time, and Iftar is at Maghrib time. Our calculator shows both of these every day. You can also pick any future date to plan your Suhoor and Iftar schedule for the whole month of Ramadan. Just select the date from the date picker and the times will update. This is very helpful for printing a Ramadan timetable for your family.
This is a real challenge for Muslims in Norway, Sweden, Finland, or northern Canada. In summer, the sun barely sets — so Isha and Fajr times technically overlap or do not exist. Scholars have given several solutions. The most common ones are: use the prayer times of Makkah, use the times from the nearest city where night properly occurs, or use a fixed time based on a "normal" summer day (the 45° or 48° latitude method). Our calculator will show you a practical time. Please check with your local mosque for the ruling they officially follow.
Do not feel hopeless. Missing a prayer is serious, but Allah is the Most Forgiving. The ruling is to make up the missed prayer — called Qada — as soon as you remember or as soon as you are able. If you slept through Fajr, pray it when you wake up. If you missed Dhuhr, pray it before Asr time ends. The Prophet ﷺ said that if someone sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, they should pray it when they remember. Going forward, try using the alarm on your phone set to prayer times from this calculator.
Our calculator shows the Qibla degree for your location — for example, "262° West-Northwest" for someone in London. You can use a physical compass or your phone's compass app to find this direction at home. Once you know the Qibla, mark it with a small piece of tape on the floor. Remember: the Qibla is not the same direction for every country. From North America, it points northeast. From South Asia, it points northwest. From the UK, it points roughly southeast.
Both the Hanafi Asr time and the Standard Asr time are valid. They come from authentic Hadith narrations. The four great Imams — Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'i, and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal — each reached different conclusions from the same body of evidence. This is called Ijtihad, and it is a mercy for the Ummah. Simply follow the Madhab of your family and your scholars. If you are Hanafi, use the Hanafi Asr time. If you follow another school, use the Standard time. Allah knows your sincere intention.
Yes! This tool is designed to be simple for everyone — including children who are learning to pray. Many parents use it to teach children the names of the five prayers and when they happen each day. Prayer is not obligatory (Fard) until puberty, but the Prophet ﷺ advised teaching children to pray from the age of seven. Using a visual prayer times tool can help a child connect with the rhythm of the five prayers every day. It is a beautiful habit to build from a young age.
Every prayer time that enters is a door that opens between you and Allah. It does not stay open forever. When the time passes, that door closes and a new one opens. Use this tool to know when those doors open — and when they open, walk through. May Allah accept your prayers and make Salah the light of your heart. Ameen.
