Prayer Times in Constantine — 2024

Prayer times in Constantine today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:34, Sunrise 06:04, Dhuhr 12:34, Asr 16:13, Maghrib 19:04, Isha 20:28. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Algiers timezone (UTC+1 · CET), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Constantine is listed under Constantine in Algeria. The engine uses 36.3650 latitude and 6.6147 longitude with IANA zone Africa/Algiers. 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 listed population is about 450,000 people.

For the latitude of Constantine, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:04 and Maghrib is 19:04. Dhuhr (12:34) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Algeria, and why this page is calculated from Constantine’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

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

Constantine (Algeria) 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 Constantine is 108.2° from true north (ESE), about 3,610 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 Algiers (321 km), prayer times in Oran (656 km), prayer times in Tunis (322 km), prayer times in Sfax (416 km), prayer times in Barcelona (678 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 Constantine is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
