Prayer Times in Auckland — 2025

Prayer times in Auckland today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 05:18, Sunrise 06:44, Dhuhr 12:21, Asr 15:31, Maghrib 18:00, Isha 19:21. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Pacific/Auckland timezone (UTC+12 · NZST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Auckland is listed under Auckland in New Zealand. The engine uses -36.8485 latitude and 174.7633 longitude with IANA zone Pacific/Auckland. 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 urban area is on the order of 1.7 million people.

For the latitude of Auckland, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:44 and Maghrib is 18:00. Dhuhr (12:21) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in New Zealand, and why this page is calculated from Auckland’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Auckland page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Auckland (New Zealand) 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 Auckland is 261.2° from true north (W), about 15,365 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 Wellington (493 km), prayer times in Christchurch (765 km), prayer times in Sydney (2156 km), prayer times in Gold Coast (2226 km), prayer times in Brisbane (2289 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 Auckland is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
