Prayer Times in Ashgabat — January 2025

Reading the January 2025 table

If you are in Ashgabat today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:03 (Fajr), 13:07 (Dhuhr), 17:45 (Asr), 19:39 (Maghrib) and 21:05 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Ashgabat timezone (UTC+5), the Muslim World League convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Ashgabat sits in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, at 37.9601°, 58.3261°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The listed population is about 900,000 people.

For the latitude of Ashgabat, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:35 and Maghrib is 19:39. Dhuhr (13:07) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Turkmenistan, and why this page is calculated from Ashgabat’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Ashgabat starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown in the Hanafi manner (shadow factor 2), which is the usual printed convention in much of South and Central Asia. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Muslims in Ashgabat use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Ashgabat is 229.2° from true north (SW), about 2,554 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 Mashhad (221 km), prayer times in Herat (531 km), prayer times in Bukhara (567 km), prayer times in Tehran (667 km), prayer times in Qom (763 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 Ashgabat is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
