Prayer Times in Rajshahi — 2025

Accurate prayer times for Rajshahi on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:29, Shuruq 05:46, Dhuhr 12:06, Asr 16:37, Maghrib 18:26, Isha 19:43. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Dhaka timezone (UTC+6), the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Rajshahi is listed under Rajshahi in Bangladesh. The engine uses 24.3745 latitude and 88.6042 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Dhaka. 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 450,000 people.

Rajshahi 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 05:46 and Maghrib is at 18:26. Dhuhr (12:06) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Rajshahi.

The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is the starting point on this Rajshahi page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). 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.

Rajshahi (Bangladesh) 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 Rajshahi is 276.5° from true north (W), about 4,982 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 Dhaka (194 km), prayer times in Khulna (195 km), prayer times in Sylhet (335 km), prayer times in Chittagong (394 km), prayer times in Kolkata (202 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 Rajshahi is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
