Prayer Times in Urganch, Uzbekistan
Urganchprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (41.5518°N, 60.6314°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Uzbekistan. 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 Urganch'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 Urganch prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Urganch's prayer times are worked out
Urganch sits 2,967 km (1,844 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 227° from true north — you face southwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Uzbekistan follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. 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 Urganch. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 22m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 50m in December: a swing of 6h 32m across the year. That spread is set by Urganch's latitude (41.55°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Urganch does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Samarkand time zone, the sun peaks about 66 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:05 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Beruniy, Xiva, Gurlan — close enough that their times differ from Urganch's by only a few minutes.
Two Asr times are in use in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is overwhelmingly Hanafi — mosques announce the later, second-shadow Asr, so this page shows both times. The time shown above for Urganch is the standard reckoning — 5:03 PM. The Hanafi time today is 6:14 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in Uzbekistan
Prayer times in Uzbekistan are administered by the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan (the Muftiate), which approves the annual calendar the country's mosques follow. This page applies the Muslim World League parameters (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates, so the official Uzbek table may differ by a few minutes — treat your local mosque's announcement as final. Uzbekistan is deeply Hanafi — the homeland of Imam al-Bukhari and al-Tirmidhi — so Asr is called on the second-shadow reckoning, and since 2016 the country has seen a visible revival of public religious life. The clock stays on UTC+5 all year, with no daylight saving.
Samarkand and Tashkent: the architecture of faith
Few countries carry Islamic architecture like Uzbekistan. Samarkand's Registan — its Ulugh Beg Madrasa begun in 1417 — anchors a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble, and the Bibi-Khanym Mosque rose in 1399-1404 on Timur's orders after his Indian campaign, named for his senior wife. In Tashkent, the Hazrati Imam complex long displayed one of the oldest surviving Qur'an manuscripts — the Samarkand Kufic Qur'an, which tradition holds was the caliph Uthman's own copy; in late 2025 the manuscript moved to the city's new Center for Islamic Civilization. Bukhara, Khiva and Shakhrisabz complete a constellation of sacred cities unmatched in Central Asia.
