Prayer Times in Lahore, Pakistan
Lahoreprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (31.5497°N, 74.3436°E) using the Karachi calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Pakistan. 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 Lahore'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 Lahore prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Lahore's prayer times are worked out
Lahore sits 3,598 km (2,235 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 260° from true north — you face west to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Pakistan follows the Karachi method set by the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 18°. 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 Lahore. Measured with the Karachi method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 52m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 32m in December: a swing of 4h 20m across the year. That spread is set by Lahore's latitude (31.55°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Lahore does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Karachi time zone, the sun peaks about 11 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:10 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Model Town, Muridke, Shekhupura — close enough that their times differ from Lahore's by only a few minutes.
Two Asr times are in use in Pakistan
Most Pakistani mosques follow the Hanafi reckoning of Asr, which begins when an object's shadow reaches twice its length — roughly 75 minutes later than the standard reckoning. The time shown above for Lahore is the standard reckoning — 3:48 PM. The Hanafi time today is 5:02 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in Pakistan
Pakistan has no single body that issues one national prayer timetable — mosques and provincial Auqaf departments publish their own. What is standardised is the calculation: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°) is the de facto basis for timetables across the country, and it is what this page uses. The state religious body is the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, while the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee — established in 1974 and assisted by Pakistan Meteorological Department observatories — rules on the moon sighting that begins Ramadan and Eid, so those dates are declared by sighting rather than by calendar.
Mosques and the Asr question
Pakistan's landmark mosques include the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad, completed in 1986 to a design by the Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay — it was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 until 1993, when Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque overtook it — and the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, completed in 1673 under Aurangzeb, whose courtyard can hold tens of thousands as an Idgah. Because Pakistan is overwhelmingly Hanafi, your local mosque almost certainly calls Asr on the second-shadow rule. This page shows the standard (Shafi) Asr by default and the Hanafi Asr alongside it, so you can follow whichever your mosque announces — or switch the madhab in the settings above to make Hanafi the default.
