Prayer Times in São Paulo — 2025

If you are in São Paulo today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:04 (Fajr), 12:07 (Dhuhr), 15:27 (Asr), 17:56 (Maghrib) and 19:06 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Sao_Paulo timezone (UTC−3), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

São Paulo sits in São Paulo, Brazil, at -23.5505°, -46.6333°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 12.3 million people.

São Paulo 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 06:19 and Maghrib is at 17:56. Dhuhr (12:07) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match São Paulo.

Calculation for São Paulo starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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.

Muslims in São Paulo use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from São Paulo is 68.9° from true north (ENE), about 10,602 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 Rio de Janeiro (361 km), prayer times in Foz do Iguaçu (833 km), prayer times in Buenos Aires (1675 km), prayer times in Santiago (2585 km), prayer times in Bogotá (4328 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 São Paulo is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
