Why Accurate Prayer Times Matter in the UK

Prayer times in London and across the United Kingdom are calculated based on the sun's position relative to the earth. The five daily prayers (Salah) are obligatory for Muslims and must be performed at specific times throughout the day. Due to the UK's northern latitude, prayer times vary significantly throughout the year, with very short summer nights and long winter nights. Our prayer times use the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) calculation method, which is well-suited for UK latitudes and widely accepted by British Muslim communities.

Understanding BST (British Summer Time)

The UK observes British Summer Time (BST) from late March to late October, when clocks move forward one hour. All prayer times on this website automatically adjust for BST/GMT transitions, ensuring you always have accurate local times. During summer months, Isha prayer may occur quite late (after 10pm) due to extended daylight hours in northern latitudes.

The Five Daily Prayers

• Fajr: The dawn prayer, performed before sunrise
• Dhuhr: The midday prayer, performed after the sun passes its zenith
• Asr: The afternoon prayer
• Maghrib: The sunset prayer, performed immediately after sunset
• Isha: The night prayer, performed when twilight has disappeared
