Prayer Times in Thessaloniki — 2027

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Thessaloniki — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:17, Dhuhr at 13:29, Asr at 17:10, Maghrib at 20:03 and Isha at 21:33. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:54. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Athens timezone (UTC+3 · EEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Thessaloniki sits in Central Macedonia, Greece, at 40.6401°, 22.9444°. 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 listed population is about 320,000 people.

For the latitude of Thessaloniki, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:54 and Maghrib is 20:03. Dhuhr (13:29) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Greece, and why this page is calculated from Thessaloniki’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki is 138.3° from true north (SE), about 2,664 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 Athens (303 km), prayer times in Skopje (197 km), prayer times in Tetovo (224 km), prayer times in Plovdiv (224 km), prayer times in Sofia (231 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 Thessaloniki is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
