Prayer Times in Sheffield — 2028

Prayer times in Sheffield today (Monday, 19 October 2026): Fajr 05:44, Sunrise 07:40, Dhuhr 12:51, Asr 15:27, Maghrib 18:02, Isha 19:50. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/London timezone (UTC+1 · BST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Sheffield: 53.3811, -1.4701. Time zone Europe/London (UTC+1 · BST) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in October. The listed population is about 580,000 people.

For the latitude of Sheffield, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In October 2026 sunrise is 07:40 and Maghrib is 18:02. Dhuhr (12:51) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United Kingdom, and why this page is calculated from Sheffield’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Sheffield 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. UK mosques often follow the Muslim World League or a local board such as the London Central Mosque / HMC. A one-minute precaution is common in winter.

Travellers through Sheffield 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 Sheffield is 119.2° from true north (ESE), about 4,975 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 Oldham (46 km), prayer times in Leeds (47 km), prayer times in Bradford (50 km), prayer times in Derby (51 km), prayer times in Manchester (52 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 Sheffield is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
