Prayer Times in Abha — May 2026

Reading the May 2026 table

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Abha — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:39, Dhuhr at 12:10, Asr at 15:31, Maghrib at 18:26 and Isha at 19:56. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 05:55. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Riyadh timezone (UTC+3), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Abha is listed under Asir in Saudi Arabia. The engine uses 18.2164 latitude and 42.5053 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Riyadh. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 400,000 people.

Abha is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:55 and Maghrib is at 18:26. Dhuhr (12:10) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Abha.

Calculation for Abha starts from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Official Gulf tables generally follow Umm al-Qura, with Isha a fixed interval after Maghrib rather than a twilight angle.

Abha (Saudi Arabia) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Abha is 322.3° from true north (NW), about 453 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Taif (404 km), prayer times in Makkah (453 km), prayer times in Jeddah (508 km), prayer times in Madinah (764 km), prayer times in Riyadh (841 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Abha is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
