Sharjah Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Prayer times in Sharjah are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (25.33°N). We use the Dubai method, the one followed across the United Arab Emirates. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Sharjah's times use the Dubai method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in United Arab Emirates. They are drawn from Sharjah's own coordinates (25.3342°N, 55.4122°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sharjah's prayer times are worked out

From Sharjah, the Qibla is 258° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,648 km (1,024 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sharjah's own coordinates (25.33°N, 55.41°E), not a national average. That is why Sharjah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sharjah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sharjah lies well west inside its Dubai time zone. So the sun peaks about 29 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:19 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 17m near June down to 11h 59m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sharjah come from the Dubai Awqaf authority. The Dubai method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.2° below the horizon, and Isha at 18.2°. 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 Al Majaz, Ar Rumaylah and Hawr al ‘Anz. Each is only a few minutes off Sharjah's clock.
