Prayer Times in Eskilstuna, Sweden
Eskilstunaprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (59.3666°N, 16.5077°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Sweden. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Eskilstuna's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Eskilstuna prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Eskilstuna's prayer times are worked out
Eskilstuna sits 4,606 km (2,862 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 146° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Sweden follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Eskilstuna. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 19h 24m around June, while the shortest is roughly 8h 38m in December: a swing of 10h 46m across the year. That spread is set by Eskilstuna's latitude (59.37°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
Eskilstuna sits close to the meridian of its Europe/Stockholm time zone, so the sun peaks within 2 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 1:01 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Västerås, Södertälje, Örebro — close enough that their times differ from Eskilstuna's by only a few minutes.
Sweden's unified timetable and the midnight-sun problem
Sweden is unusual: since 1 May 2016 its mosques have shared a national timetable, adopted by the Swedish Imam Council and published by Islamiska Förbundet, based on the Turkish Diyanet's calculation — which uses the same 18°/17° twilight angles as the Muslim World League method this page applies, so the times here align closely with the national convention (the official table adds small precaution margins). The real challenge is latitude: from early May to early August, true night never falls over much of Sweden — the Imam Council's own guidance notes the sharia signs for Isha and Fajr disappear — so northern communities follow the nearest city with usable times, and Ramadan guidance from the European Council for Fatwa permits estimation where the signs are absent.
Mosques of Stockholm, Malmö and the north
The Stockholm Mosque on Södermalm, opened in 2000 and named for its Emirati benefactor Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, is the capital's largest; Malmö's mosque, inaugurated in 1984, was among the country's first purpose-built. Sweden keeps no religious statistics, but Pew estimated its Muslim-background population at roughly 8% in 2016 — among the highest shares in Western Europe — with roots from Iraq and Syria to Somalia, Bosnia and Turkey. Clocks change with the EU (last Sundays of March and October), and in midsummer the far north sees no sunset at all — communities in Kiruna have been advised to follow Stockholm's timetable.
