Quick summary

• Official timetables: Local UAE authorities publish official schedules; minor differences from mathematical methods may occur.

• Use our tool: The Prayer Times tool lets you pick a method/juristic setting and shows daily timings for your city.

Calculation methods (common)

• Umm al‑Qura (Makkah): Widely used in GCC contexts; Isha sometimes fixed by interval.
• MWL: Muslim World League parameters; popular globally.
• Moonsighting Committee: Conservative angles with emphasis on observational alignment.
• Egyptian General Authority, University of Islamic Sciences (Karachi), ISNA, etc.

Our tool supports popular methods; official UAE timetables may follow their own parameters.

Fajr and Isha angles

Typical Fajr/Isha angles range between 14° and 20° depending on the method. Angles determine dawn and nightfall thresholds; conservative angles yield earlier Fajr and later Isha.

Asr juristic setting

Standard (Shafi‘i/Maliki/Hanbali): Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its length plus noon shadow. Hanafi: begins at twice the length. Our tool lets you choose.

Local adjustments and practical tips

• Use your city and method consistently.
• When in doubt, follow the official timetable for your emirate/masjid.
• Some authorities apply fixed Isha intervals or seasonal adjustments—expect slight differences.

FAQs

The UAE does not observe DST. High‑latitude rules are not typically needed in the UAE. Official schedules from local authorities take precedence over computed values.
