Prayer Times in Glasgow — 2024

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Glasgow — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 03:52, Dhuhr at 13:17, Asr at 17:02, Maghrib at 20:15 and Isha at 22:30. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:20. 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.

Coordinates for Glasgow: 55.8642, -4.2518. Time zone Europe/London (UTC+1 · BST) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 630,000 people.

At this latitude the northern summer night is short and the winter night is long. Fajr and Isha angles are not always reached in midsummer, so the timetable falls back to a night-portion rule (middle of the night by default). That is why Fajr in Glasgow can look “late” in June and Isha “early” compared with cities closer to the equator. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:20 and Maghrib is 20:15 — a useful check of how compressed or stretched the day currently is.

Calculation for Glasgow 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.

Travellers through Glasgow 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 Glasgow is 118.3° from true north (ESE), about 5,264 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 Edinburgh (67 km), prayer times in Belfast (177 km), prayer times in Newcastle (193 km), prayer times in Preston (254 km), prayer times in Blackburn (261 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 Glasgow is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
