 Who this is not for

 
Not a mosque’s official iqamah board, not a fatwa service, and not a commercial directory. For a
 congregational time, use the mosque you actually pray in. For a legal ruling, ask a qualified scholar.

 What is Global Prayer Times?

 
Global Prayer Times provides accurate daily prayer times for Muslim communities in 24 countries — the United States, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, Tunisia, Palestine, South Africa, and Singapore. We cover 280+ cities and 590+ mosques, with detailed information about each city's Muslim community and mosques.

 
Times are calculated using the officially recognised method for each region, based on established Islamic scholarly standards:

 North America (US, Canada): ISNA — Islamic Society of North America (15°/15°)

 South Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh, India): Karachi — University of Islamic Sciences (18°/18°, Hanafi Asr)

 Gulf (UAE): Dubai IACAD — Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Dept (18.2°/18.2°)

 Saudi Arabia: Umm al-Qura — Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah (18.5°, Isha fixed 90 min)

 Turkey: Diyanet — Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı (18°/17°, Hanafi Asr)

 Egypt: Egyptian General Authority of Survey (19.5°/17.5°)

 London (UK): Official London Unified Prayer Timetable (LUPT) — observational, not a fixed Fajr/Isha angle. Used by East London Mosque, London Central Mosque and most mosques inside the M25.

 UK outside London: Moonsighting Committee Worldwide (15°/15°)

 Indonesia & Malaysia: Ministry of Religious Affairs, Indonesia (20°/18°)

 France: UOIF — Union of Islamic Organisations of France (12°/12°)

 Australia, Nigeria, South Africa & others: Muslim World League (18°/17°)

 
The angles above refer to the sun's depression below the horizon at which Fajr begins (dawn) and Isha begins (night). See our full Calculation Methods reference guide for detailed explanations, scholarly sources, and high-latitude adjustment rules.
