How prayer times are calculated in Afghanistan

Times for Afghanistan use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+4:30). In the capital Kabul, Fajr is about 2:55 AM and Maghrib 7:09 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:26 AM and Maghrib at 4:46 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 51 min to 14 h 28 min.

Our cities in Afghanistan stretch from Eslam Qaleh in the west to Asmar in the east, and from Qarqin in the north to Khanashin in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Asmar about 41 minutes before Eslam Qaleh, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Kabul cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Afghanistan

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Kabul lasts about 12 h 09 min at the start of the month and 13 h 06 min at the end, with imsak at 5:11 AM and iftar at 5:29 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To reach your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
