Knowing your prayer times every day
The five daily prayers follow the position of the sun, so their times change every day and with your city. Knowing how to read them — and being reminded on time — is essential to pray consistently.
This guide explains the five prayers, calculation methods and how to never miss a salah again.
The five prayers and their windows
Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (night).
Each prayer has a window that begins and ends at precise sun-based moments.
Why times vary
Times depend on your latitude, the season and the calculation method used (sun angle for Fajr and Isha).
Different authorities (Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, ISNA, etc.) use slightly different angles — hence small differences between apps.
Getting reliable reminders
A location-aware app computes your local times and notifies you with a gentle adhan.
Make sure the calculation method matches your mosque for perfect alignment.
