Prayer Time Calculator

These times are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method with Hanafi Asr calculation — the most common method in Pakistan. Times may vary 1–3 minutes from your local mosque's timetable. For critical prayers (especially Fajr), always follow your mosque's confirmed schedule.

In Hanafi fiqh, Asr begins when an object's shadow equals twice its height (plus the shadow at noon). In other schools (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali), Asr begins when shadow equals the object's own height. Hanafi Asr is later — the calculator uses Hanafi method.

The Hijri date shown is calculated using the Umm al-Qura calendar, which approximates the lunar calendar. Actual Hijri dates may differ by 1 day depending on local moon sighting (Ru'yah). For Islamic months like Ramadan and Dhul Hijjah, follow your local moon-sighting authority (Ru'yah-e-Hilal Committee in Pakistan).

From Bhara Kahu, Islamabad, the Qibla direction is approximately 255° from true North — roughly West-Southwest. This points toward Makkah. For accuracy in your specific location, use a Qibla compass app or ask at your local mosque, as small differences matter.

Fajr is the Fard prayer at dawn before sunrise. Ishraq is a Nafl prayer performed approximately 15–20 minutes after sunrise, with great reward (equivalent to a complete Hajj and Umrah according to some hadith). It is a highly recommended voluntary prayer.

The times shown are calculated specifically for Bhara Kahu, Islamabad. For other cities, prayer times vary by several minutes. You can use this as a general reference, but for your city, use a location-specific prayer app or your local mosque timetable.
