Prayer Times
Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — calculated for your current location.
This needs your location to calculate accurate prayer times for where you are.
About the calculation method: this defaults to the Shia Ithna-Ashari (Jafari) method from the Leva Institute, Qum — notice Maghrib is calculated as beginning after the red twilight disappears (later than sunset), matching Shia jurisprudence, rather than at sunset itself as most Sunni methods calculate it. Times are sourced from Aladhan, a widely-used, established prayer-times data service — not an arbitrary or unverified source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Maghrib show a later time than sunset?
This matches the Shia Ithna-Ashari (Jafari) juristic position that Maghrib begins once the redness in the eastern sky after sunset has faded, not at sunset itself — a deliberate, correct difference from Sunni calculation methods, not an error.
Can I use a Sunni calculation method instead?
Yes — the Method dropdown above the times lets you switch to Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi, or Singapore methods, all recalculated instantly for your same location.
Where do these prayer times come from?
From Aladhan, an established, widely-used prayer-times calculation service used by many Islamic apps and websites — not an unverified or arbitrary source. Times are calculated astronomically from your exact GPS coordinates, not looked up from a fixed city list.
Is my location stored anywhere?
No — your coordinates are used only to request that day's prayer times and, separately, a one-time lookup of your city name for display. Nothing about your location is saved on our server.
