The five daily prayers
Muslims pray five times each day, and each prayer has a time window fixed by the position of the sun. Fajr is prayed at dawn, before sunrise. Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point at midday. Asr is the afternoon prayer. Maghrib starts the moment the sun sets, and Isha is the night prayer, prayed once darkness has fallen. Because all five times follow the sun, they change a little every day and differ from city to city — which is why every page on this site calculates them fresh, in your browser, for the exact date and place you choose.
How the times are calculated
Each prayer time comes from astronomy. Fajr and Isha begin when the sun is a set number of degrees below the horizon (the angle depends on the calculation method), Dhuhr is solar noon adjusted by the equation of time, Asr depends on the length of shadows, and Maghrib is sunset. Conventions differ by region: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is common across South Asia, ISNA is used in North America, the Muslim World League method is a widespread default, and Makkah follows the Umm Al-Qura calendar. Every city page lets you switch methods, and choose Hanafi or Shafi Asr, so the times match the convention your community follows.
