Graz Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Graz, Austria

Grazprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (47.0673°N, 15.4420°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Austria. 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 Graz'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 Graz prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Graz's prayer times are worked out

Graz sits 3,596 km (2,234 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 134° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Austria 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 Graz. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 18h 52m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 21m in December: a swing of 8h 31m across the year. That spread is set by Graz's latitude (47.07°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Graz sits close to the meridian of its Europe/Vienna time zone, so the sun peaks within 7 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 1:05 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Villach, Meidling — close enough that their times differ from Graz's by only a few minutes.
