How are Islamic prayer times calculated?

Islamic prayer times are calculated based on the position of the sun. Fajr begins at dawn, Dhuhr at solar noon, Asr in the afternoon when shadows reach a specific length, Maghrib at sunset, and Isha at twilight. Different calculation methods (MWL, ISNA, Egyptian) vary slightly in their angle definitions for Fajr and Isha.

What are the five daily prayer times in Islam?

The five obligatory daily prayers (salah) are: Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (just after sunset), and Isha (night). Each prayer has a specific time window determined by the sun's position.

Do prayer times change depending on location?

Yes, prayer times vary by geographic location (latitude and longitude) and change daily throughout the year as the sun's path shifts with the seasons. Cities closer to the poles experience greater variation between summer and winter prayer times.
