Prayer Times in Gujranwala — 2026

Prayer times in Gujranwala today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:13, Sunrise 05:38, Dhuhr 12:04, Asr 16:40, Maghrib 18:30, Isha 19:54. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Karachi timezone (UTC+5 · PKT), the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Gujranwala is listed under Punjab in Pakistan. The engine uses 32.1877 latitude and 74.1945 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Karachi. 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 urban area is on the order of 2.0 million people.

For the latitude of Gujranwala, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:38 and Maghrib is 18:30. Dhuhr (12:04) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Pakistan, and why this page is calculated from Gujranwala’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is the starting point on this Gujranwala 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.

Gujranwala (Pakistan) 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 Gujranwala is 259.2° from true north (W), about 3,596 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 Sialkot (46 km), prayer times in Lahore (76 km), prayer times in Faisalabad (129 km), prayer times in Rawalpindi (189 km), prayer times in Islamabad (198 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 Gujranwala is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
