Prayer Times in Gaziantep — 2026

Accurate prayer times for Gaziantep on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:29, Shuruq 06:00, Dhuhr 12:31, Asr 17:09, Maghrib 19:02, Isha 20:26. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Istanbul timezone (UTC+3), the Muslim World League convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Gaziantep sits in Gaziantep, Turkey, at 37.0662°, 37.3833°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 2.1 million people.

For the latitude of Gaziantep, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:00 and Maghrib is 19:02. Dhuhr (12:31) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Turkey, and why this page is calculated from Gaziantep’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Gaziantep 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Muslims in Gaziantep use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Gaziantep is 171.6° from true north (S), about 1,755 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 Adana (183 km), prayer times in Kayseri (249 km), prayer times in Konya (441 km), prayer times in Trabzon (482 km), prayer times in Ankara (506 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 Gaziantep is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
