Accurate Prayer Times in Pakistan – A Complete Guide

Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country where Islam plays a central role in daily life. The call to prayer (Adhan) echoes from thousands of mosques five times a day, reminding the faithful of their duty to Allah. Prayer, or Salah, is the second pillar of Islam and observing it at the correct time is obligatory for every Muslim.

The timing of prayers is determined by the sun's position relative to specific geographic coordinates. Pakistan spans a diverse landscape, from the coastal city of Karachi in the south to the mountainous terrain of Gilgit-Baltistan in the north. This geographical diversity results in significant variations in sunrise, sunset, and twilight times, directly affecting prayer schedules. For instance, Maghrib time in Lahore occurs significantly earlier than in Quetta.

Understanding Calculation Methods

Times Prayer Salah follows the calculation standards set by the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. This method is widely accepted across Pakistan, India, and parts of Bangladesh. It uses an angle of 18° for Fajr (dawn) and 18° for Isha (nightfall).

Asr Juristic Method (Hanafi vs. Shafi)

The majority of Muslims in Pakistan follow the Hanafi school of thought. The main difference in prayer times between schools lies in the calculation of Asr time. According to the Hanafi view, Asr begins when the shadow of an object becomes twice its length (plus the shadow at noon). In contrast, the Shafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools consider Asr to begin when the shadow equals the object's length. Our charts default to the Hanafi time for Pakistan to serve the local population accurately.
