Prayer Times
The five daily times for any location and date, six methods.
About Prayer Times
Prayer Times calculates the five daily prayer times for any location and date, using standard solar position algorithms — the sun’s declination and the equation of time — rather than fetching a timetable from an API. That means it works with no internet connection once the page is open, and it works for anywhere on earth, not just cities someone remembered to add to a database. Six calculation methods are supported, including Jordan’s Ministry of Awqaf, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura and ISNA, plus both the standard and Hanafi rulings for Asr.
How to use it
- Pick a city, or press "Use my location", or type latitude and longitude directly.
- Choose the calculation method your local mosque follows — this changes the Fajr and Isha angles.
- Select standard or Hanafi Asr. Hanafi gives a noticeably later Asr.
- The next prayer is highlighted. Change the date to see any other day.
Questions
How accurate is this?
Usually within a minute or two of a published local timetable. The astronomy is exact; the differences come from rounding and local adjustments that prayer committees apply. Where they differ, follow your mosque.
Why do different methods give different times?
Fajr and Isha depend on how far below the horizon the sun must be for twilight to count as begun or ended, and scholars settled on different angles — 18°, 19.5°, 15° and so on. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely vary between methods.
Does it need internet?
Only to load the page. The calculation itself is pure arithmetic done in your browser — no API call is made, and no location data is sent anywhere.
What is the difference between standard and Hanafi Asr?
Asr begins when an object’s shadow reaches a set multiple of its height. The standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule uses one times the height; the Hanafi rule uses twice, giving a later time by roughly an hour.
Why are some times missing at high latitudes?
Near the poles in summer the sun never drops far enough below the horizon for Fajr or Isha to occur astronomically. Scholars apply special rules there; the tool tells you rather than inventing a number.
