Reading the October 2025 table

Prayer times in Tower Hamlets today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:05, Sunrise 06:11, Dhuhr 13:00, Asr 16:45, Maghrib 19:50, Isha 21:46. 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.

Tower Hamlets is listed under London in United Kingdom. The engine uses 51.5203 latitude and -0.0293 longitude with IANA zone Europe/London. 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 listed population is about 320,000 people.

For the latitude of Tower Hamlets, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:11 and Maghrib is 19:50. Dhuhr (13:00) 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 Tower Hamlets’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

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

Tower Hamlets (United Kingdom) 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 Tower Hamlets is 119.1° from true north (ESE), about 4,789 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 Newham (4 km), prayer times in London (7 km), prayer times in Slough (39 km), prayer times in Luton (48 km), prayer times in Reading (66 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 Tower Hamlets is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
