How prayer times are calculated in the DR Congo

Times for DR Congo use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in the local time of each city (UTC+2; UTC+1). In the capital Kinshasa, Fajr is about 4:30 AM and Maghrib 6:08 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 4:49 AM and Maghrib at 5:57 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 52 min to 12 h 23 min.

Our cities in the DR Congo stretch from Moanda in the west to Aru in the east, and from Zongo in the north to Mokambo in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Aru about 74 minutes before Moanda, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Kinshasa is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in the DR Congo

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Kinshasa lasts about 13 h 28 min at the start of the month and 13 h 18 min at the end, with imsak at 4:43 AM and iftar at 6:21 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

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