Prayer Times in Birmingham — 2027

If you are in Birmingham today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:04 (Fajr), 13:08 (Dhuhr), 16:54 (Asr), 20:01 (Maghrib) and 22:02 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/London timezone (UTC+1 · BST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Birmingham is listed under England in United Kingdom. The engine uses 52.4862 latitude and -1.8904 longitude with IANA zone Europe/London. 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 1.1 million people.

For the latitude of Birmingham, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:15 and Maghrib is 20:01. Dhuhr (13:08) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United Kingdom, and why this page is calculated from Birmingham’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Birmingham starts from Muslim World League. 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. UK mosques often follow the Muslim World League or a local board such as the London Central Mosque / HMC. A one-minute precaution is common in winter.

Birmingham is frequently cited as one of the UK cities with the largest Muslim population share. Small Heath, Alum Rock and Sparkbrook congregations may publish slightly different Fajr times; this page is the astronomical baseline for the city centre.

Qibla from Birmingham is 118.0° from true north (ESE), about 4,952 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 Wolverhampton (20 km), prayer times in Coventry (27 km), prayer times in Leicester (53 km), prayer times in Derby (56 km), prayer times in Nottingham (72 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 Birmingham is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
