Prayer Times in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
Prayer times in Bishkek are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (42.87°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Kyrgyzstan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Bishkek's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Kyrgyzstan. They are drawn from Bishkek's own coordinates (42.8700°N, 74.5900°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Bishkek's prayer times are worked out
From Bishkek, the Qibla is 245° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,003 km (2,488 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bishkek's own coordinates (42.87°N, 74.59°E), not a national average. That is why Bishkek's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Bishkek timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bishkek lies well west inside its Bishkek time zone. So the sun peaks about 70 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:00 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 39m near June down to 10h 44m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Bishkek 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 Tokmok, Almaty and Manas. Each is only a few minutes off Bishkek's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyz Islam is Sunni Hanafi, so mosques traditionally announce the later second-shadow Asr; this page shows both that time and the standard one. The time shown above for Bishkek is the standard reckoning — 4:33 PM. The Hanafi time today is 5:28 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Prayer times in Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is majority Muslim — Sunni of the Hanafi school, interwoven with Central Asian and nomadic tradition. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to the city's own coordinates, on Kyrgyzstan's year-round UTC+6 clock. Because the country is Hanafi, many mosques announce the later second-shadow Asr. That is about 75 minutes after the standard time, so both are shown here.
The Imam Sarakhsi Mosque in Bishkek
Bishkek's Central Mosque, named after the eleventh-century Hanafi jurist Imam al-Sarakhsi, opened in 2018 after six years of construction funded by Turkey's Diyanet. Built in Ottoman revival style, it is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia, with room for tens of thousands of worshippers. It anchors Friday prayers in the capital.
