Prayer Times in Rotterdam — November 2027

Reading the November 2027 table

Prayer times in Rotterdam today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:45, Sunrise 06:52, Dhuhr 13:42, Asr 17:27, Maghrib 20:33, Isha 22:30. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Amsterdam timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Rotterdam is listed under South Holland in Netherlands. The engine uses 51.9244 latitude and 4.4777 longitude with IANA zone Europe/Amsterdam. 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 650,000 people.

For the latitude of Rotterdam, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:52 and Maghrib is 20:33. Dhuhr (13:42) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Netherlands, and why this page is calculated from Rotterdam’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

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

Rotterdam (Netherlands) 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 Rotterdam is 124.7° from true north (SE), about 4,549 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 The Hague (20 km), prayer times in Utrecht (48 km), prayer times in Amsterdam (57 km), prayer times in Antwerp (79 km), prayer times in Brussels (120 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 Rotterdam is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
