Prayer Times in Peshawar — 2026

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Peshawar — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:19, Dhuhr at 12:14, Asr at 16:51, Maghrib at 18:42 and Isha at 20:08. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 05:47. 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.

Peshawar is listed under Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. The engine uses 34.0151 latitude and 71.5249 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 Peshawar, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:47 and Maghrib is 18:42. Dhuhr (12:14) 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 Peshawar’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Peshawar 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.

Peshawar (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 Peshawar is 254.0° from true north (WSW), about 3,401 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 Islamabad (145 km), prayer times in Rawalpindi (147 km), prayer times in Gujranwala (321 km), prayer times in Faisalabad (322 km), prayer times in Sialkot (326 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 Peshawar is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
