Which method should I follow?
Ask your masjid
The simplest rule: follow the timetable your local mosque prints. This tool is a quick reference for travel, work and planning — not a replacement for your community.
Understand the angles
Methods differ in the sun angles for fajr and isha. ISNA uses 15°, MWL 18°/17°, Umm al-Qura 18.5° with isha 90 minutes after sunset — small angles give slightly later fajr and earlier isha.

Prayer times questions, answered
Why do times differ from my app?
Different apps default to different methods and coordinates. Pick the same method and city centre and the times will match within a minute or two.
What is dhuhr time used for?
Dhuhr starts when the sun passes its zenith. On Fridays, jum'ah prayer replaces dhuhr — check your local masjid's khutbah time.
What about high latitudes?
Above about 48° latitude, fajr and isha can become very early or overlap. Most Muslims in such regions follow a local masjid or council ruling for adjusted times.
Is this tool free?
Yes — all methods, all cities, today and the whole week, free forever. Nothing to sign up, nothing uploaded.

What these times are — and why the clock matters
The five daily prayers follow the position of the sun, not fixed clock numbers that hold all year. Fajr edges earlier as summer arrives, Maghrib drifts later, and the daylight between them stretches and shrinks with the seasons. A printed timetable quickly goes out of date, which is why a live calculation is so much easier to trust.
This page works out today's times for twenty-two cities — from Mecca, Medina and Riyadh to London, New York, Toronto, Sydney, Istanbul, Cairo, Casablanca, Karachi, Lahore, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore — using one of five recognised methods: ISNA, MWL, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian and Karachi. Above the table, six tiles show Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for today; below, a full seven-day table lays the same six columns out across the coming week.
Sunrise appears in the list because it matters twice over: it is the moment the Fajr window closes, and it marks the start of the period after dawn when voluntary prayer is generally avoided. Keeping it visible means you never sleep through Fajr without realising how little time is left.
How to read these times
A handful of choices, and the whole week opens up.
Pick your city
Choose one of the twenty-two cities in the list. Each city centre has its own coordinates, so the calculation is local enough for planning your day.
Pick your method
Switch between ISNA, MWL, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian and Karachi. Use whichever one your local masjid already prints on its own timetable.
Read today's six tiles
Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha sit in a row at the top. The qibla bearing from your chosen city is noted underneath the table.
Scan the week ahead
The table lists the next seven days with today's row highlighted. Remember to add an hour when daylight saving time is in effect, as the note under the table reminds you.
These are computed estimates for planning. Always follow the final times printed by your local masjid or Islamic centre, and confirm with your local scholars where methods differ.
The five prayers, from dawn to night
A short word on what each window means in practice.
The dawn prayer
Begins at true dawn and ends at sunrise. Two confirmed rak'ahs, offered in the quietest hour of the day.
The boundary
Not a prayer itself, but the end of Fajr and a useful backstop for when you must already be awake.
The midday prayer
Starts once the sun passes its zenith. On Fridays the congregational jum'ah prayer takes its place.
The afternoon prayer
Begins when an object's shadow reaches its own length plus the noon shadow, and lasts until the sun begins to pale.
The sunset prayer
Begins at sunset once the twilight leaves the horizon. During Ramadan this is also the moment the fast breaks.
The night prayer
Begins when twilight ends. In winter it comes early; at higher latitudes in summer it can run very late.
Common questions, expanded
What is the difference between ISNA and MWL prayer times?
The two methods use different sun angles for Fajr and Isha. ISNA, widely used across North America, sets both at 15 degrees. MWL, used more globally, sets Fajr at 18 degrees and Isha at 17 degrees. Because the angles differ, Fajr and Isha drift a few minutes apart between the two, most noticeably in summer and at higher latitudes.
Which prayer time method should I use?
Follow the method your local masjid or Islamic centre already uses. In North America ISNA is common; MWL is used around the world; Umm al-Qura is the standard in Saudi Arabia; the Egyptian and Karachi methods reflect the practice of their own regions. When you travel, switching back to your home masjid's method keeps your personal rhythm consistent.
Is this prayer time tool free?
Yes. Today's times, the full seven-day table and all five calculation methods are completely free, with no sign-up and nothing uploaded. The calculation runs in your own browser.
How accurate are the times?
Times are computed from each city's coordinates using the standard astronomical method, and they are usually within one or two minutes of local mosque timetables. Small differences appear because mosques may add a safety margin or follow a local council ruling. Always treat your masjid's printed timetable as the final word, and confirm with your local scholars where they differ.
Does this account for daylight saving time?
The table shows standard time for the chosen city, and a note underneath reminds you to add an hour while daylight saving is in effect. The math stays transparent rather than shifting silently. If your region observes daylight saving, move every clock time forward by one hour until it ends.
Once the times are set
Knowing when to pray is only half the habit. Pair the clock with the direction you face and a steady way to keep your remembrance after each salah. For travel and new homes, work out the bearing from your location on the Qibla Direction finder →, and during Ramadan, plan suhoor and iftar for the whole month on the Ramadan 2027 calendar →.
