About these prayer times
Prayer times depend on the sun's position at your location, so they change every day and differ from city to city. This page calculates them on your device using the method used by most timetables in Pakistan: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (Fajr and Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon), with Hanafi Asr by default.
- Sehri ends at the start of Fajr (true dawn).
- Iftar is at Maghrib (sunset).
- The Ramadan tab shows the coming (or current) Ramadan, assuming Pakistan starts one day after Saudi Arabia. The Ruet-e-Hilal committee's announcement decides the actual first day.
Questions
Why are these times different from my mosque's timetable?
Mosques may use a different calculation method, add a few minutes of precaution (ihtiyat), or round times. Differences of 1–5 minutes are normal. For Sehri and Iftar, follow your local mosque.
Hanafi or Shafi'i Asr: which should I choose?
Most people in Pakistan follow the Hanafi school, which has a later Asr time. Ahl-e-Hadith and Shafi'i followers use the earlier Asr time.
My city isn't in the list. What can I do?
Press "Use my location" to calculate times for exactly where you are, or choose the nearest city. Times change by only about a minute for every 15–20 km east or west.
