Prayer Times in Karachi — 2029

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Karachi — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:54, Dhuhr at 12:32, Asr at 17:04, Maghrib at 18:53 and Isha at 20:10. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:12. 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.

Coordinates for Karachi: 24.8607, 67.0011. Time zone Asia/Karachi (UTC+5 · PKT) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 16.0 million people.

Karachi 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 06:12 and Maghrib is at 18:53. Dhuhr (12:32) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Karachi.

Calculation for Karachi 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.

Karachi’s printed calendars almost always use the University of Islamic Sciences angles with Hanafi Asr. Maghrib is sunset plus a minute. High-latitude rules are irrelevant here.

Qibla from Karachi is 267.7° from true north (W), about 2,800 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 Hyderabad (149 km), prayer times in Quetta (591 km), prayer times in Multan (739 km), prayer times in Faisalabad (947 km), prayer times in Lahore (1033 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 Karachi is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
