Finding accurate prayer times in Karachi shouldn’t be a daily struggle — yet one website says Fajr is at 5:10, another says 5:25, and your masjid’s timetable shows something else entirely. The confusion usually comes down to one thing: the calculation method behind the numbers.
This page gives you live, accurate salah times for Karachi, Pakistan — computed for today’s date with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (the standard for Pakistan and India). Select your city in the timetable above, or tap “Use my location” for times wherever you are in Karachi.
Prayer Times in Karachi Today
The five daily prayers in Karachi follow the sun, so times shift a little every day — longer summer days stretch the gaps, shorter winter days compress them. The timetable above updates automatically for today’s date. The five prayers: Fajr (dawn, before sunrise), Dhuhr (just after midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (immediately at sunset — this is also Iftar time in Ramadan), and Isha (night, after twilight disappears).
Calculation Method Used in Karachi
We use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation (the standard for Pakistan and India). Different authorities define dawn and twilight at slightly different angles below the horizon, which is why timetables can differ by a few minutes. For the most consistent results, match the widget’s settings to your local masjid in Karachi — and when in doubt, follow your local mosque.
In Karachi, most mosques follow the Hanafi school, so Asr begins when an object’s shadow reaches twice its length — roughly 45–60 minutes later than the Standard (Shafi’i) timing. Select “Hanafi” in the widget’s Asr settings above to match your local masjid.
