Sylhet Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Sylhet, Bangladesh

Sylhet's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Bangladesh. They are drawn from Sylhet's own coordinates (24.8990°N, 91.8720°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sylhet's prayer times are worked out

From Sylhet, the Qibla is 277° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,303 km (3,295 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sylhet's own coordinates (24.90°N, 91.87°E), not a national average. That is why Sylhet's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Sylhet timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 11m around June. It eases to 11h 57m by December. That is a 3h 14m swing, set by the city's latitude of 24.90°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sylhet 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. Sylhet sits close to its Dhaka meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:38 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Shella, Maulavi Bāzār and Karīmganj. Each is only a few minutes off Sylhet's clock.
