Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there different calculation methods?
Different Islamic organizations use slightly different conventions for calculating prayer times, particularly for Fajr and Isha. The main difference is the angle of the sun below the horizon used to determine when twilight begins and ends. We recommend using the method that your local mosque or Islamic center follows.
What's the difference between Standard and Hanafi Asr?
The Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools calculate Asr time as when the shadow of an object equals its length plus its noon shadow. The Hanafi school uses twice the length, resulting in a later Asr time (about 45-75 minutes later depending on the season).
Why do prayer times change daily?
Prayer times are based on the position of the sun, which changes throughout the year as Earth orbits the sun. Days are longer in summer and shorter in winter, causing prayer times to shift accordingly. The change is most noticeable for Fajr and Isha.
What if I live in an extreme latitude?
In locations above 48° latitude (like northern UK, Scandinavia), twilight may persist through the night in summer, making it difficult to determine Fajr and Isha times. Different methods exist to handle this - consult with local Islamic scholars for guidance in your area.
How accurate are these times?
Our calculations are based on the same algorithms used by major Islamic organizations and are accurate to within 1-2 minutes. However, local atmospheric conditions and geography can cause minor variations. For the most precise times, refer to your local mosque's prayer schedule.
