Prayer Times in Kristiansand, Norway
Prayer times in Kristiansand are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (58.15°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Norway. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Kristiansand's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Norway. They are drawn from Kristiansand's own coordinates (58.1467°N, 7.9956°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Kristiansand's prayer times are worked out
From Kristiansand, the Qibla is 134° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,816 km (2,993 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kristiansand's own coordinates (58.15°N, 8.00°E), not a national average. That is why Kristiansand's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Kristiansand timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kristiansand lies well west inside its Oslo time zone. So the sun peaks about 36 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:26 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 19h 04m near June down to 8h 56m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Kristiansand 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 Skien, Sandnes and Stavanger. Each is only a few minutes off Kristiansand's clock.

Toward one Norwegian timetable
For decades Norwegian prayer times varied mosque to mosque — a legacy of communities that arrived from the 1970s onward, each bringing its own convention. Since 2020 the Islamic Council of Norway (Islamsk Råd Norge) has led the Felles bønnetid project. A committee of imams, scholars and astronomers is building one shared national timetable. It is published at bonnetid.no and in the Bønnetid app. Individual mosques may still differ. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Norway follows the EU clock changes, on the last Sundays of March and October. Its Muslim population is among Scandinavia's largest: 201,899 registered community members at the start of 2026, with real numbers estimated well higher.
Oslo's congregations and Ramadan under the midnight sun
Oslo's Central Jamaat-e Ahl-e Sunnat has some six thousand members, making it Norway's largest Muslim congregation. The Baitun Nasr mosque at Furuset opened in 2011 with room for over two thousand. Built and run by the Ahmadiyya community, it is the largest mosque building in the Nordic countries. North of the Arctic Circle, Ramadan poses a question few countries face: in Tromsø the summer sun never sets. Guidance offered three answers — follow Mecca's schedule, follow the nearest city where the sun still sets, or fix a community practice. Tromsø's Muslims chose to fast on Mecca's times. Everywhere else, the long Norwegian summer days simply make for long fasts and late, bright Isha prayers.
