Prayer Times in Khanabad, Afghanistan
Prayer times in Khanabad are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (36.68°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across Afghanistan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Khanabad's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Afghanistan. They are drawn from Khanabad's own coordinates (36.6830°N, 69.1128°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Khanabad's prayer times are worked out
From Khanabad, the Qibla is 247° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,294 km (2,047 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Khanabad's own coordinates (36.68°N, 69.11°E), not a national average. That is why Khanabad's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Khanabad timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 33m around June. It eases to 11h 12m by December. That is a 5h 21m swing, set by the city's latitude of 36.68°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Khanabad come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Khanabad sits close to its Kabul meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:52 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Kunduz, Taloqan and Baghlān. Each is only a few minutes off Khanabad's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is firmly Hanafi — mosques call the later, second-shadow Asr — so this page shows both times. The time shown above for Khanabad is the standard reckoning — 3:25 PM. The Hanafi time today is 4:21 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Prayer times on the half-hour clock
Afghanistan runs on one of the world's few half-hour time zones — UTC+4:30, kept year-round with no daylight saving. There is no single national timetable authority. The regional standard is the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°). That is exactly what this page applies to this city's own coordinates. Afghan practice is firmly Hanafi, and the school is embedded in the country's legal tradition. Local mosques therefore call Asr on the second-shadow reckoning, roughly an hour after the standard time. Both are shown here.
Herat's Friday Mosque and the Blue Mosque of Mazar
The Great Mosque of Herat has anchored the country's west since 1200. The Ghurid sultan Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad laid its foundation and was buried there three years later. Timurid, Mughal and later hands have extended its tilework ever since. In the north, Mazar-i-Sharif takes its name ('the noble shrine') from the Blue Mosque. The present blue-tiled complex was built in 1481 under the Timurid ruler Husayn Bayqara. Local tradition holds that Ali ibn Abi Talib is buried there, though most Muslims place his tomb at Najaf. Between them stretch the mosque courtyards of Kabul and Kandahar, where the five prayers structure the day as they have for thirteen centuries.
