Prayer Times in Taipei — 2025

Accurate prayer times for Taipei on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:16, Shuruq 05:34, Dhuhr 11:54, Asr 15:23, Maghrib 18:15, Isha 19:28. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Taipei timezone (UTC+8 · CST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Taipei sits in Taipei, Taiwan, at 25.0330°, 121.5654°. 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 2.6 million people.

Taipei 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 05:34 and Maghrib is at 18:15. Dhuhr (11:54) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Taipei.

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

Muslims in Taipei 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 Taipei is 286.6° from true north (WNW), about 8,228 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 Shanghai (689 km), prayer times in Hong Kong (811 km), prayer times in Guangzhou (869 km), prayer times in Manila (1162 km), prayer times in Seoul (1485 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 Taipei is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
