Prayer Times & Qibla

Pick a city and date to get exact Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times — plus the Qibla direction — in local time. Choose your calculation method and Asr madhab, with correct handling of high-latitude twilight where most calculators break.

What Salah Times computes

Every city page is a full daily timetable for the date you choose, with the fiqh options exposed instead of hidden:

• Five daily prayers + Sunrise & Islamic midnight — Fajr, Sunrise (when Fajr ends), Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and the midnight boundary, to the minute.
• Eleven calculation methods — MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian Authority, Karachi, Kemenag, MUIS/JAKIM, Diyanet, Gulf, Tehran and Jafari, each city defaulting to its regional convention.
• Standard & Hanafi Asr — the exact afternoon shadow angle for your latitude, under either school.
• Qibla direction — the great-circle bearing to the Kaaba in degrees from true north.
• High-latitude rules — angle-based, one-seventh and middle-of-night fallbacks, applied automatically where true twilight fails, and flagged so you know.

FAQ

How are prayer times calculated?

Salah Times computes the Sun's position for your city and date from standard astronomical formulae, then applies the fiqh rules: Fajr and Isha are twilight-depression angles (e.g. 18° below the horizon), Sunrise and Maghrib are the horizon crossing, Dhuhr is the Sun's zenith (solar noon), and Asr is the moment a shadow reaches a set multiple of its noon length. You choose the calculation method and Asr madhab; everything recomputes instantly.

Which calculation method should I use?

Use the one your local mosque or national authority follows. Salah Times defaults each city to its regional convention — Umm al-Qura for Saudi Arabia, ISNA for North America, the Egyptian Authority for Egypt, Kemenag for Indonesia, Diyanet for Türkiye, Muslim World League elsewhere — but you can switch to any of eleven methods and compare.

What is the difference between Standard and Hanafi Asr?

Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its own length plus its noon shadow (the Standard/Shāfiʿī view) or twice its length plus the noon shadow (the Hanafi view). The Hanafi Asr therefore falls later in the afternoon. Salah Times computes the exact shadow angle for your latitude and date under either school.

What is the Qibla direction?

The Qibla is the great-circle bearing from your location to the Kaaba in Mecca (21.42°N, 39.83°E). Salah Times gives it in degrees from true north with a compass point for every city page — it is a fixed direction that does not change with date or time.

Why are prayer times hard to calculate at high latitudes?

In cities like Tromsø, Reykjavík or Stockholm the Sun never drops far enough below the horizon in summer for true dawn or dusk, so the Fajr and Isha angles are never reached and naïve calculators return blanks or absurd values. Salah Times detects this and applies a recognised high-latitude rule (angle-based, one-seventh of the night, or middle of the night) — and clearly flags when the fallback is in use.

Are these times exact?

The solar positions are accurate to about a minute, shown in each city's local time with daylight saving handled automatically. Calculation methods themselves differ by design, and the moon-sighting for Ramadan and Islamic dates is a separate matter — so treat these as accurate planning times and confirm with your local mosque or authority.
