Prayer Times in Manila — 2025

Prayer times in Manila today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:31, Sunrise 05:44, Dhuhr 11:56, Asr 15:11, Maghrib 18:10, Isha 19:17. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Manila timezone (UTC+8 · PST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Manila: 14.5995, 120.9842. Time zone Asia/Manila (UTC+8 · PST) 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 1.8 million people.

Manila 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 05:44 and Maghrib is at 18:10. Dhuhr (11:56) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Manila.

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

Travellers through Manila should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Manila is 289.0° from true north (WNW), about 8,526 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 Zamboanga (862 km), prayer times in Davao (957 km), prayer times in Kota Kinabalu (1098 km), prayer times in Hong Kong (1119 km), prayer times in Taipei (1162 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 Manila is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
