ABOUT US
About MiqatLive
MiqatLive is a free Islamic website that tells you when to pray and which way to face, for every city, with the method behind every number.
Why we built it
Correct times, shown openly
Prayer-time websites often disagree by several minutes and rarely say why. MiqatLive calculates every time with our own engine, shows the method, angles and Asr school on the page, and has each country's settings checked by a reviewer. If your masjid uses something different, you can see the difference and why.
Live today
Prayer times for every city Qibla direction with a live compass Ramadan countdown, Sehri and Iftar timesMore sections are added only when they are complete and reviewed.
How we work
Five principles
- 1
The method is always visible
Every page names its calculation method, Fajr and Isha angles and Asr school.
- 2
Our own engine
Times are calculated on our servers with the open-source adhan library and checked against reference tables. No live third-party feed.
- 3
Reviewed by people
Country settings and Ramadan and Eid announcements are approved by a reviewer before they go live.
- 4
Private by design
No account. Your location stays in your browser, and we never redirect you because of where you are.
- 5
Nothing half-finished
A section appears on MiqatLive only when it is complete, sourced and reviewed.

Review and corrections
Who checks MiqatLive
Each country's prayer-time settings are reviewed before launch. When you report a time that differs from your masjid, a reviewer checks the calculation and the local practice. Corrections are listed with their date.

Where we are going
Country by country
We start with Pakistan in English and Urdu, then add countries in waves, each with its own reviewed settings and language. Quran, hadith, duas and tools for masjids are planned and will appear here when they are ready.
