Prayer Times in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Prayer times in Amsterdam are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (52.37°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Netherlands. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Amsterdam's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Netherlands. They are drawn from Amsterdam's own coordinates (52.3740°N, 4.8897°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Amsterdam's prayer times are worked out
From Amsterdam, the Qibla is 126° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,554 km (2,830 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Amsterdam's own coordinates (52.37°N, 4.89°E), not a national average. That is why Amsterdam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Amsterdam timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Amsterdam lies well west inside its Amsterdam time zone. So the sun peaks about 49 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:47 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 51m near June down to 9h 48m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Amsterdam come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Amstelveen, Zaandam and Amsterdam-Zuidoost. Each is only a few minutes off Amsterdam's clock.

Two traditions, one small country
Dutch Islam is organised through mosque federations rather than the state. There is no national timetable. The CMO — the government's recognised Muslim liaison body, speaking for some 380 mosques — is a representative body, not a timetable publisher. The Turkish-rooted network, Islamitische Stichting Nederland, has been tied to Turkey's Diyanet since 1982 and follows Diyanet's published times. Moroccan-rooted mosques, the largest community, follow Maghreb-style Maliki conventions. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to the city's own coordinates. About 6% of Dutch residents identify as Muslim (CBS, 2023), and clocks follow the EU's March and October changes.
Rotterdam's Essalam and Amsterdam's Westermoskee
The Essalam Mosque in Rotterdam opened in December 2010 with Gulf funding and fifty-metre minarets. It is the largest mosque in the Netherlands. Amsterdam answered in 2016 with the Westermoskee on the Schinkel — an unusual marriage of Ottoman form and Dutch brick, and the capital's largest. At Dutch latitude (52°N) the seasonal swing is serious. Midsummer Isha drifts toward midnight and midwinter Maghrib falls before five. Summer twilight barely darkens enough for the classical signs, which is one reason mosque timetables differ most in June and July. The five daily prayers, though, keep the same shape they have from Jakarta to Casablanca.
Mosques in Amsterdam
Mosques in and around Amsterdam include Fatih, Assoena Moskee, El Tawheed, El-Mouhssinine, Moskee an-Nour and Westermoskee. The times on this page are worked out from Amsterdam's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.

Amsterdam Prayer Times — FAQ
What direction is Qibla from Amsterdam?

How long is the fast in Amsterdam?
The longest daily fast in Amsterdam is about 17h 51m, around June. The shortest is about 9h 48m, in December. That is a swing of 8h 03m across the year, set by the city's latitude of 52.37°N. Both are measured from Fajr to Maghrib with the Muslim World League method.
Why do Turkish and Moroccan mosques in my Dutch city list different times?
Different conventions. Turkish-rooted (ISN/Diyanet) mosques follow Diyanet's tables, and Moroccan-rooted mosques follow Maliki/Maghreb-style ones. Summer twilight at 52°N forces each to handle Fajr and Isha its own way. The differences are small outside high summer. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation on this city's coordinates — treat your own mosque's timetable as final.
