Prayer Times in Istaravshan, Tajikistan
Prayer times in Istaravshan are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (39.91°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Tajikistan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Istaravshan's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Tajikistan. They are drawn from Istaravshan's own coordinates (39.9142°N, 69.0033°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Istaravshan's prayer times are worked out
From Istaravshan, the Qibla is 242° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,440 km (2,137 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Istaravshan's own coordinates (39.91°N, 69.00°E), not a national average. That is why Istaravshan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Istaravshan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Istaravshan lies well west inside its Dushanbe time zone. So the sun peaks about 32 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:30 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 04m near June down to 10h 58m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Istaravshan 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 Bekobod, Khujand and Guliston. Each is only a few minutes off Istaravshan's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Tajikistan
Most Tajik Muslims are Sunni Hanafi and announce the later second-shadow Asr; this page shows both that time and the standard one. (Badakhshan in the east is largely Ismaili Shia.) The time shown above for Istaravshan is the standard reckoning — 4:18 PM. The Hanafi time today is 5:22 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Prayer times in Tajikistan
Tajikistan is overwhelmingly Muslim, Sunni of the Hanafi school across most of the country. The Pamiri population of mountainous Badakhshan in the east belongs mostly to Ismaili Shia Islam. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to the city's own coordinates, on Tajikistan's year-round UTC+5 clock. As the Hanafi school predominates, many mosques call the later, second-shadow Asr, so this page shows both times.
A new grand mosque in Dushanbe
Dushanbe is home to a vast new grand mosque, built largely with Qatari funding. It is among the largest in Central Asia, designed to hold well over a hundred thousand worshippers across its halls and courtyards. Most Tajik mosques, being Hanafi, keep the later second-shadow Asr, which this page shows alongside the standard time.
