How it works
Three settings, and the times are right for you
- 1
Choose your city
Pick a city from the list, or use your location: the calculation happens in your browser.
- 2
Set the method
Keep the automatic setting, or choose the angle your mosque follows (12°, 15°, 18°…).
- 3
Read the day or the month
The next prayer is highlighted; open the table to see the whole month.
Why two apps don't show the same time
Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib depend on where the sun is during the day: every method agrees on them to within a minute or two. Fajr and Isha, on the other hand, are calculated from an angle of the sun below the horizon (dawn and the end of twilight), and each method sets that angle its own way. That's the main reason two apps disagree.
| Method | Fajr | Isha |
|---|---|---|
| Muslim World League (MWL) | 18° | 17° |
| 12° angle (Musulmans de France, formerly UOIF) | 12° | 12° |
| ISNA (North America) | 15° | 15° |
| Egypt | 19.5° | 17.5° |
| Umm al-Qura (Makkah) | 18.5° | 90 min after Maghrib |
| Karachi | 18° | 18° |
| Turkey (Diyanet) | 18° | 17° |
| Morocco | 19° | 17° |
| Algeria | 18° | 17° |
| Tunisia | 18° | 18° |
The larger the Fajr angle, the earlier Fajr falls; the larger the Isha angle, the later Isha falls.
Which method to use in France
In France, there's no single official method. The 12° angle, used by Musulmans de France, is one of the most common; the Grande Mosquée de Paris uses 18°. In summer, the gap widens for Isha: more than half an hour, and far more around the solstice. The simplest approach: ask your mosque which angle it follows, and set the same one here.
Prayer time or iqama time
This tool gives the start time of each prayer. Your mosque often also shows the iqama, when the congregational prayer begins, a few minutes later, and sometimes rounds its times for a printed timetable. The two don't contradict each other.
Sunrise and the last third of the night
Sunrise (Shuruq) is not a prayer: it marks the end of the time for Fajr. The last third of the night, calculated between Maghrib and the next day's Fajr, is the time many people aim for when praying at night.
And every day, right in your pocket
In the QuranWay app on iPhone, the next prayer appears as soon as you open the app, with its countdown, and the Live Activity keeps it on your lock screen. Times follow your GPS location, with no city to type in, and you can turn on a reminder for each of the five prayers.
We make QuranWay. These tools are free, with no sign-up. Whatever depends on you (your location, your settings) stays in your browser: your location is never sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Why do prayer times differ from one app to another?
Because Fajr and Isha depend on an angle of the sun below the horizon, and each calculation method sets that angle differently (12°, 15°, 18° or 19.5°). Mosques sometimes add the iqama and round their times, which adds a few more minutes of difference.
Which calculation method should I use in France?
Your mosque's. The 12° angle (Musulmans de France) is one of the most common, and the Grande Mosquée de Paris follows 18°. Choose the same method here to get the times you're used to.
What's the difference between Shafi'i and Hanafi Asr?
For the majority school (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali), Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length, plus the noon shadow. For the Hanafi school, it begins when the shadow reaches twice the object's length, plus the noon shadow, so Asr falls later.
Are the times valid for the whole city?
Yes, to within a minute or two. The calculation uses the coordinates of the city center; in a large metropolitan area, use your location for the most accurate times.
