Prayer Times Calculator Pakistan
Calculate estimated Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayer times for major Pakistani cities. Free to use, no signup required for occasional use.
Calculated using the Karachi method (18° Fajr/Isha angles) from your city's coordinates. May differ by a minute or two from your local mosque's schedule.
What is the Prayer Times Calculator?
The Prayer Times Calculator estimates the five daily Islamic prayer times — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — for a selected city and date using standard astronomical calculation methods. Prayer times are determined by the sun's position relative to the observer's location, so they shift daily throughout the year and vary by city based on latitude, longitude, and timezone. This tool includes a dropdown of major Pakistani cities with their known coordinates and calculates each prayer time client-side using well-established solar position formulas combined with a standard angle-based method (similar to the Karachi method commonly used across Pakistan) for Fajr and Isha. No external API call is needed since the calculation is purely mathematical, based on the date and the city's latitude and longitude. This makes it fast, reliable, and usable even for future dates, which is handy for planning travel, work schedules, or checking prayer times for a specific day ahead of time.
How to use it
Select your city from the dropdown list of major Pakistani cities, then choose the date you want prayer times for — it defaults to today's date but can be changed to any past or future date. Click 'Calculate' and the tool will compute and display the estimated Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for that city and date using the Karachi calculation method's standard sun angles. Keep in mind that calculated prayer times can differ by a minute or two from your local mosque's schedule due to local adjustments, elevation, or the specific juristic method used for Asr, so treat these as a close reference rather than an official announcement.
Frequently asked questions
Which calculation method does this tool use?
It uses standard solar angle conventions similar to the widely used Karachi method (18° for Fajr and Isha), which is common across Pakistan, applied to your selected city's coordinates and date.
Why might these times differ slightly from my local mosque?
Small differences can occur due to local elevation, manual adjustments some mosques apply, or a different juristic method used for calculating Asr time.
Can I check prayer times for a future date?
Yes, the calculation is purely astronomical based on date and location, so you can select any past or future date and get an estimate.
Does this cover cities outside the provided dropdown?
Currently the tool includes major Pakistani cities with pre-set coordinates. Coverage can be expanded over time to include more towns and cities.
