Prayer Times in Shiraz — April 2026

Reading the April 2026 table

If you are in Shiraz today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:16 (Fajr), 12:00 (Dhuhr), 15:34 (Asr), 18:41 (Maghrib) and 19:26 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Tehran timezone (UTC+3:30), the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Shiraz is listed under Fars in Iran. The engine uses 29.5918 latitude and 52.5837 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Tehran. 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 1.6 million people.

Shiraz 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 05:36 and Maghrib is at 18:41. Dhuhr (12:00) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Shiraz.

Calculation for Shiraz starts from Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran. 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.

Shiraz (Iran) 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 Shiraz is 237.5° from true north (WSW), about 1,568 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 Isfahan (352 km), prayer times in Qom (584 km), prayer times in Tehran (687 km), prayer times in Mashhad (990 km), prayer times in Tabriz (1110 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 Shiraz is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
