In December and January it comes after 6:00 AM. Always check today’s exact time.

Dhuhr Prayer Time in Multan

Dhuhr in Multan today is loading. The sun has passed its zenith and started declining. The Zohar window stays open until Asr at loading. Zohar, Zuhr, Zuhar and Dhuhr all mean this same midday prayer — one time, different spellings.

On Fridays, Dhuhr is replaced by Jumma.

Maghrib Time in Multan Today

Maghrib in Multan today is loading. It begins exactly at sunset. The Azan e Maghrib is called at this moment across Multan’s mosques. The window lasts roughly 20 minutes until the red twilight disappears from the western sky. After that Maghrib is qaza and Isha begins at loading.

In Multan’s summer, Maghrib arrives late — past 7:30 PM — because of the long daylight hours. In winter it comes before 5:30 PM. This large seasonal gap is the most dramatic in Multan compared to more northerly Pakistani cities. Multan does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Prayer times remain on standard Pakistan Standard Time (GMT+5) year-round.

Ishraq, Chasht and Tahajjud in Multan

Ishraq Time in Multan

Ishraq namaz time in Multan starts 15 to 20 minutes after sunrise at loading. Offer 2 to 4 rakats. The hadith-mentioned reward — equivalent to Hajj and Umrah — applies when you remain seated in the masjid from Fajr at loading through the Ishraq window without leaving. In Multan where summers are intense, offering Ishraq in the mosque is especially rewarding as it avoids the early heat.

Chasht Time in Multan

Chasht begins after Ishraq and closes 15 minutes before Dhuhr at loading. Offer 2, 4, 6 or 8 rakats. No requirement to have stayed at the mosque from Fajr. This is the more flexible nafl option for people with work or business schedules in Multan’s busy markets and bazaars.

Tahajjud in Multan

Tahajjud falls roughly 90 minutes before Fajr at loading. Sleep first, then wake. In Multan’s cold winters this means waking around 4:00 AM or later. In summer Fajr comes so early that Tahajjud may begin before 2:00 AM. Both carry equal reward — the sincerity of rising from sleep is what matters.
