Prayer Times in Gothenburg — September 2027

Reading the September 2027 table

If you are in Gothenburg today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 03:30 (Fajr), 13:12 (Dhuhr), 16:57 (Asr), 20:14 (Maghrib) and 22:40 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Stockholm timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Gothenburg is listed under Västra Götaland in Sweden. The engine uses 57.7089 latitude and 11.9746 longitude with IANA zone Europe/Stockholm. 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 580,000 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 Gothenburg can look “late” in June and Isha “early” compared with cities closer to the equator. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:10 and Maghrib is 20:14 — a useful check of how compressed or stretched the day currently is.

Calculation for Gothenburg 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Gothenburg (Sweden) 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 Gothenburg is 139.0° from true north (SE), about 4,619 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 Malmö (242 km), prayer times in Stockholm (397 km), prayer times in Aarhus (203 km), prayer times in Copenhagen (229 km), prayer times in Oslo (255 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 Gothenburg is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
