How prayer times are calculated in Zambia

Pages for Zambia 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 Lusaka, Fajr is around 4:13 AM and Maghrib 6:36 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:15 AM and Maghrib at 5:45 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 13 min to 13 h 03 min.

Our cities in Zambia stretch from Kalabo in the west to Lundazi in the east, and from Kaputa in the north to Livingstone in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Lundazi about 42 minutes before Kalabo, 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 Lusaka is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Zambia

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Lusaka lasts roughly 13 h 56 min at the start of the month and 13 h 29 min at the end, with imsak at 4:35 AM and iftar at 6:41 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.
