Prayer Time Sharjah Today

Prayer time in Dubai raises a question almost nowhere else does. Because the city builds upward, the horizon a resident sees depends on how high they live, and Dubai’s Islamic affairs authority has ruled that those above roughly the eightieth floor should break their fast two minutes later than the ground, and three minutes later above the hundred and fiftieth. The timings on this page are calculated for sea level, which is the standard everyone else follows. Namaz time in Dubai is recalculated every day from the city’s own coordinates and shown with the current Hijri date.

Fajr Time in Sharjah and the Five Daily Prayers

Fajr opens at true dawn and closes at sunrise, the tightest window of the day. Zuhr time in Sharjah begins once the sun has passed its zenith and the brief zawal has ended. Asr time in Sharjah falls in the mid to late afternoon, calculated by the standard method that Awqaf timetables across the Emirates apply. Maghrib time in Sharjah starts as the sun drops below the western horizon, and Isha time in Sharjah opens once the twilight has gone.

Voluntary Prayers and Ramadan Timings

Ishraq time in Sharjah arrives shortly after sunrise, while tahajjud time in Sharjah covers the later part of the night up to Fajr. Through Ramadan the same figures give you suhoor time in Sharjah, known to many residents as sehri, which ends at Fajr, and iftar time in Sharjah, which begins at Maghrib. Salah times in Sharjah shift by roughly a minute a day through spring and autumn, so the monthly table below is worth keeping to hand. Dubai residents can use this timetable interchangeably.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The prayer time Sharjah schedule is calculated from the city’s own coordinates, 25.3 degrees north and 55.4 degrees east, using the angle of the sun below the horizon to fix dawn and dusk. The default follows the Dubai method used by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, with the standard calculation 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 suhoor 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, placing Asr roughly thirty to sixty minutes later. Timetables across the Emirates follow the standard Shafi calculation, so residents who follow the Hanafi school should switch the setting.
