Sonārgaon's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Bangladesh. They are drawn from Sonārgaon's own coordinates (23.6500°N, 90.6167°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sonārgaon's prayer times are worked out

From Sonārgaon, the Qibla is 278° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,195 km (3,228 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sonārgaon's own coordinates (23.65°N, 90.62°E), not a national average. That is why Sonārgaon's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Sonārgaon timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 03m around June. It eases to 12h 02m by December. That is a 3h 01m swing, set by the city's latitude of 23.65°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sonārgaon 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. Sonārgaon sits west of its Dhaka meridian. The sun peaks about 6 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:56 AM. We also publish times for nearby Narayanganj, Motijheel and Dhaka. Each is only a few minutes off Sonārgaon's clock.
