How prayer times are calculated in Malawi

Pages for Malawi 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 local time (UTC+2). In the capital Lilongwe, Fajr is around 3:54 AM and Maghrib 6:11 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 4:51 AM and Maghrib at 5:26 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 18 min to 12 h 57 min.

Our cities in Malawi stretch from Mchinji in the west to Mulanje in the east, and from Chitipa in the north to Nsanje in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Mulanje about 10 minutes before Mchinji, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Lilongwe cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Malawi

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Lilongwe lasts about 13 h 52 min at the start of the month and 13 h 27 min at the end, with imsak at 4:15 AM and iftar at 6:18 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.
