Prayer Times Calculation Method (Lahore)

Prayer times in Lahore are calculated using astronomical data and established Islamic standards. Small differences can appear due to method, fiqh, and location precision. This section explains how timings on this page are calculated and why variations exist across websites.

Which Calculation Method Is Used?

Here we uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation method.

This method is widely followed in Pakistan and accepted by many religious institutions. It calculates prayer times using solar positioning and fixed angles for dawn and night prayers.

• Fajr angle: 18°
• Isha angle: 18°

These angles align with Pakistani prayer schedules used by mosques and calendars.

Available Calculation Methods for Lahore

Different organizations follow different calculation systems. Commonly used methods include:

• Karachi Method
  Standard method for Pakistan. Used on this page.
• Muslim World League (MWL)
  Used in many international calendars.
• Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia)
  Common in Saudi Arabia. Isha is based on a fixed interval.
• Egyptian General Authority
  Used in parts of North Africa and the Middle East.
• Custom Method (Advanced)
  Allows manual adjustment of angles and offsets.

Because websites use different methods, prayer times may not always match exactly.

Asr Time Difference (Hanafi vs Shafi)

Asr prayer time depends on the juristic school.

Asr (Hanafi)

• Starts when the shadow of an object becomes twice its length, plus the noon shadow.

Asr (Shafi)

• Starts when the shadow of an object becomes equal to its length, plus the noon shadow.

We shows Asr time according to the Hanafi school, which is widely followed in Pakistan.

The difference exists due to fiqh interpretation, not calculation error

Why Do Prayer Times Differ Between Websites?

Prayer time differences usually occur because of:

• Different calculation methods
• Different Asr juristic rules
• Location coordinates used
• Time zone handling
• Manual adjustments
• Rounding methods

Even a small change in latitude or angle can shift timings by a few minutes.
