Prayer Times in Chittagong — 2026

Accurate prayer times for Chittagong on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:19, Shuruq 05:35, Dhuhr 11:53, Asr 16:23, Maghrib 18:12, Isha 19:27. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Dhaka timezone (UTC+6), the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Chittagong: 22.3569, 91.7832. Time zone Asia/Dhaka (UTC+6) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 2.6 million people.

Chittagong 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 05:35 and Maghrib is at 18:12. Dhuhr (11:53) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Chittagong.

The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is the starting point on this Chittagong page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown in the Hanafi manner (shadow factor 2), which is the usual printed convention in much of South and Central Asia. Subcontinental pocket calendars almost always use Karachi angles with Hanafi Asr. Confirm against the local mosque in Ramadan, when some boards add a precaution.

Travellers through Chittagong should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Chittagong is 279.3° from true north (W), about 5,334 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 Dhaka (214 km), prayer times in Khulna (237 km), prayer times in Sylhet (282 km), prayer times in Rajshahi (394 km), prayer times in Kolkata (352 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 Chittagong is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
