Sarishābāri Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Sarishābāri, Bangladesh

Sarishābāriprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (24.7513°N, 89.8313°E) using the Karachi calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Bangladesh. 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 Sarishābāri'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 Sarishābāri prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Sarishābāri's prayer times are worked out

Sarishābāri sits 5,101 km (3,169 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 276° from true north — you face west to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Bangladesh 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 Sarishābāri. Measured with the Karachi method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 10m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 58m in December: a swing of 3h 12m across the year. That spread is set by Sarishābāri's latitude (24.75°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Sarishābāri does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Dhaka time zone, the sun peaks about 9 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:08 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Jamālpur, Sirajganj, Sherpur — close enough that their times differ from Sarishābāri's by only a few minutes.
