How prayer times are calculated
The five daily prayers follow the position of the sun, so their times change a little every day and differ from city to city. Fajr begins at dawn, when the sun is a set angle below the horizon (between 12° and 20° depending on the method); Dhuhr just after the sun passes its highest point; Asr when an object’s shadow reaches its own length plus its noon shadow (twice its length in the Hanafi school); Maghrib just after sunset; and Isha when twilight has faded, or a fixed 90 minutes after Maghrib in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
Each country tends to follow its own authority, so this page uses the method normally used there. Times are worked out from the city’s coordinates with standard astronomical formulas, so they are always current – but local mosques sometimes add a few minutes of precaution or publish their own timetable, especially during Ramadan.
