Prayer Times in Motijheel, Bangladesh
Prayer times in Motijheel are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (23.73°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across Bangladesh. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Motijheel's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Bangladesh. They are drawn from Motijheel's own coordinates (23.7277°N, 90.4192°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Motijheel's prayer times are worked out
From Motijheel, the Qibla is 278° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,174 km (3,215 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Motijheel's own coordinates (23.73°N, 90.42°E), not a national average. That is why Motijheel's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Motijheel timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 04m around June. It eases to 12h 01m by December. That is a 3h 03m swing, set by the city's latitude of 23.73°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Motijheel 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. Motijheel sits west of its Dhaka meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:57 AM. We also publish times for nearby Paltan, Ramna Maidan and Dhaka. Each is only a few minutes off Motijheel's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Bangladesh
Bangladeshi mosques predominantly follow the Hanafi reckoning of Asr (shadow twice the object's length), which falls roughly 75 minutes after the standard reckoning. The time shown above for Motijheel is the standard reckoning — 3:23 PM. The Hanafi time today is 4:23 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in Bangladesh
Bangladesh does have an official timetable. The Islamic Foundation Bangladesh publishes the national prayer schedule. It is an autonomous government body under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, established by ordinance in 1975. The schedule is built on a Dhaka baseline with district-by-district adjustments, and most Bangladeshi calendars and apps derive from it. The underlying calculation follows the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°), which is what this page uses. Because the country is overwhelmingly Sunni Hanafi, local mosques announce the later, second-shadow Asr.
Mosques and gatherings
The national mosque, Baitul Mukarram in Dhaka, was completed in 1968 and holds more than 40,000 worshippers. In Bagerhat, the fifteenth-century Sixty Dome Mosque (Shat Gambuj Masjid) anchors the UNESCO-listed Historic Mosque City. Bangladesh is also home to the Bishwa Ijtema at Tongi, on the banks of the Turag. This annual Tablighi Jamaat gathering draws millions, and ranks among the largest Muslim congregations anywhere in the world.
