Prayer Times Worldwide
Prayer times are the five daily windows for salah (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha), set by the sun's position over each city. Find your city, or see today's times where you are.

Calculation methods
One city, six methods
Fajr and Isha depend on how far below the horizon the sun must be. Select a method to see Lahore's times today; each country uses the method most of its mosques follow. These are the methods’ own calculated values, without any local precaution minutes a country or city page may add.

Prayer time calculation methods explainedAsr schools
Standard and Hanafi Asr
Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow (Standard: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali), or twice its length (Hanafi). Every MiqatLive page has a switch.
The five prayers
Four sun positions set five prayers
Fajr and Isha follow the sun's angle below the horizon, Dhuhr follows solar noon, Asr follows shadow length and Maghrib follows sunset.
Does your masjid show a different time?
Mosques often set jamaat a few minutes after the start time, so a difference is not always an error. A reviewer checks every report, and fixes appear in the public change log.
