Prayer Times in Brussels — August 2024

Reading the August 2024 table

Prayer times in Brussels today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:51, Sunrise 06:55, Dhuhr 13:43, Asr 17:27, Maghrib 20:31, Isha 22:25. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Brussels timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Brussels is listed under Brussels in Belgium. The engine uses 50.8503 latitude and 4.3517 longitude with IANA zone Europe/Brussels. 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 1.2 million people.

For the latitude of Brussels, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:55 and Maghrib is 20:31. Dhuhr (13:43) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Belgium, and why this page is calculated from Brussels’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Brussels 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.

Brussels (Belgium) 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 Brussels is 123.5° from true north (ESE), about 4,489 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 Antwerp (41 km), prayer times in Liège (90 km), prayer times in Lille (94 km), prayer times in Rotterdam (120 km), prayer times in The Hague (136 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 Brussels is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
