Prayer Times in Islamabad — 2029

If you are in Islamabad today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:14 (Fajr), 12:08 (Dhuhr), 16:45 (Asr), 18:36 (Maghrib) and 20:02 (Isha). 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.

Islamabad sits in Islamabad, Pakistan, at 33.6844°, 73.0479°. 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 1.1 million people.

For the latitude of Islamabad, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:41 and Maghrib is 18:36. Dhuhr (12:08) 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 Islamabad’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Islamabad starts from University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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.

Muslims in Islamabad 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 Islamabad is 255.9° from true north (WSW), about 3,528 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 Rawalpindi (14 km), prayer times in Peshawar (145 km), prayer times in Sialkot (191 km), prayer times in Gujranwala (198 km), prayer times in Faisalabad (249 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 Islamabad is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
