Prayer Times in Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan
Prayer times in Rahim Yar Khan are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (28.42°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.
Rahim Yar Khan's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Pakistan. They are drawn from Rahim Yar Khan's own coordinates (28.4199°N, 70.3034°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Rahim Yar Khan's prayer times are worked out
From Rahim Yar Khan, the Qibla is 263° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,161 km (1,964 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Rahim Yar Khan's own coordinates (28.42°N, 70.30°E), not a national average. That is why Rahim Yar Khan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Rahim Yar Khan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Rahim Yar Khan lies well west inside its Karachi time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:24 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 31m near June down to 11h 45m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Rahim Yar Khan 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. We also publish times for nearby Saddiqabad, Khanpur and Daharki. Each is only a few minutes off Rahim Yar Khan's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Pakistan
Most Pakistani mosques follow the Hanafi reckoning of Asr. It begins when an object's shadow reaches twice its length, roughly 75 minutes later than the standard reckoning. The time shown above for Rahim Yar Khan is the standard reckoning — 3:57 PM. The Hanafi time today is 5:04 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. It is what this page uses. The state religious body is the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony. The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee rules on the moon sighting that begins Ramadan and Eid. It was established in 1974 and is assisted by Pakistan Meteorological Department observatories. So those dates are declared by sighting rather than by calendar.
Mosques and the Asr question
Pakistan's landmark mosques start with the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. It was 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. Lahore's Badshahi Mosque was completed in 1673 under Aurangzeb; its 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, with the Hanafi Asr alongside it. Follow whichever your mosque announces. You can also switch the madhab in the settings above to make Hanafi the default.

That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
