Prayer Times in Hargeisa — 2026

Prayer times in Hargeisa today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:44, Sunrise 05:55, Dhuhr 12:04, Asr 15:08, Maghrib 18:14, Isha 19:20. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Mogadishu timezone (UTC+3 · EAT), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Hargeisa is listed under Woqooyi Galbeed in Somalia. The engine uses 9.5624 latitude and 44.0770 longitude with IANA zone Africa/Mogadishu. 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 750,000 people.

Hargeisa is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:55 and Maghrib is at 18:14. Dhuhr (12:04) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Hargeisa.

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

Hargeisa (Somalia) 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 Hargeisa is 341.5° from true north (NNW), about 1,395 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 Mogadishu (847 km), prayer times in Harar (217 km), prayer times in Dire Dawa (242 km), prayer times in Aden (373 km), prayer times in Addis Ababa (588 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 Hargeisa is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
