Prayer Time Islamabad Today

Prayer time in Islamabad is worked out from the true horizon rather than the ridgeline of the Margalla Hills, which is why Maghrib can fall a moment before the sun actually disappears behind them. The city also sits around five hundred metres above sea level, so sunrise arrives marginally earlier and sunset marginally later than out on the plains below. Namaz time in Islamabad is recalculated every day from the city’s own coordinates and shown with the current Hijri date, so the schedule holds for today rather than an average across the region.

Fajr Time in Islamabad and the Five Daily Prayers

Fajr opens at true dawn and closes at sunrise, the tightest window of the day. Zuhr time in Islamabad begins once the sun has passed its zenith and the brief zawal time in Islamabad has ended. Asr time in Islamabad falls in the late afternoon and moves roughly forty minutes later under the Hanafi calculation most mosques in the capital follow. Maghrib time in Islamabad starts as the sun sets behind the hills, and Isha time in Islamabad opens once the last light has left the sky.

Voluntary Prayers and Ramadan Timings

Ishraq time in Islamabad arrives shortly after sunrise, while tahajjud time in Islamabad covers the later part of the night up to Fajr. Through Ramadan the same figures give you sehri time in Islamabad, which ends at Fajr, and iftar time in Islamabad, which begins at Maghrib. The monthly table below carries all of them together. The countdown at the top of the page tracks the next prayer in real time, so you can see at a glance how much of the current window is left.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Islamabad sits at roughly 33.7 degrees north and 73.0 degrees east, and every figure on this page comes from those coordinates rather than a provincial average. The default is the University of Islamic Sciences in Karachi method with the Hanafi setting for Asr, matching what most mosques in the capital use.

The prayer time Islamabad schedule is calculated from the city’s own coordinates, 33.7 degrees north and 73.1 degrees east, using the angle of the sun below the horizon to fix dawn and dusk. The default method is the University of Islamic Sciences in Karachi, with the Hanafi setting for Asr.

Fajr opens at true dawn, known as Fajr al-Sadiq, when the first white light spreads along the eastern horizon. It closes at sunrise (Shuruq). Most timetables list the end time 5 to 10 minutes before actual sunrise as a safety margin.

Maghrib opens the moment the sun’s upper edge drops below the horizon and closes once the red glow, known as shafaq ahmar, has left the western sky. It is the shortest of the five windows, which is why it is usually offered without delay.

Both follow the daily prayer calculation rather than a separate method. Suhoor, also called sehri, ends the moment Fajr begins, and iftar opens at Maghrib. Many timetables print sehri a few minutes early, applying the same kind of safety margin used for Fajr.

Under the Shafi method Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own length. The Hanafi method waits until the shadow reaches twice that length, which places Asr roughly thirty to sixty minutes later depending on the season and the latitude.
