Lahore Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Lahore, Pakistan

Prayer times in Lahore are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (31.55°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across Pakistan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Lahore's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Pakistan. They are drawn from Lahore's own coordinates (31.5497°N, 74.3436°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Lahore's prayer times are worked out

From Lahore, the Qibla is 260° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,598 km (2,235 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Lahore's own coordinates (31.55°N, 74.34°E), not a national average. That is why Lahore's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Lahore timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 52m around June. It eases to 11h 32m by December. That is a 4h 20m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.55°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Lahore 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. Lahore sits west of its Karachi meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:09 PM. We also publish times for nearby Model Town, Muridke and Shekhupura. Each is only a few minutes off Lahore's clock.
