Prayer times in Mecca

Prayer times for Mecca, Saudi Arabia, computed for 2026-07-13. Today Fajr begins at 04:20 and Maghrib at 19:06 (Asia/Riyadh time), a fast of 14 hours and 46 minutes between the two. Sunrise (Shuruq) is at 05:46, Dhuhr at 12:26, Asr at 15:42 and Isha at 20:36. Mecca sits at 21.4225 N, 39.8262 E, home to about 20,04,000 people, and the Qibla bearing from here is 324.9 degrees from true north. Calculation method: Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia).

Today and tomorrow in Mecca, side by side

We keep two days on the same page because the build runs once daily in UTC and the same file reaches every zone; promising only the present day would fail through the morning of half the planet. With today and tomorrow both visible, the tool just above resolves which column is correct in Mecca from the visitor local clock. Shuruq, sunrise, falls between Fajr and Dhuhr.

Prayer calendar for the next 30 days in Mecca

The next 30 days for Mecca at a glance, to plan the month. Each row is recomputed at build time from the position of the sun; Shuruq is sunrise.

The daily step of the times in Mecca

How fast the times slide depends on the season: nearly frozen at the solstices, quicker at the equinoxes, always led by Fajr and Isha. The last column measures that step in Mecca between today and tomorrow, which is why the page lastmod changes every day.

Geography of the times in Mecca

Today the span between Fajr and Maghrib, the daily fast, runs 14 hours and 46 minutes in Mecca. In Mecca the Kaaba itself is here, so the Qibla is the city center rather than a distant bearing. The sun crosses its highest point 26 minutes after local clock noon, which is why Dhuhr begins at 12:26.

Calculation method in Mecca

Fajr and Isha depend on the angle of the sun below the horizon adopted by each authority, and that angle is the only place the methods diverge. In Mecca we use the Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia), the most common in the region: Fajr at 18.5 degrees, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Dhuhr is solar noon, Maghrib is sunset and Shuruq is sunrise; those three barely change between methods. Asr depends on the school of law: the default here is Shafi (shadow reaches once the object height). In the Hanafi school Asr comes later.

Honesty and sources

These times are a computed reference, not a substitute for the Mecca mosque announcement. The official methods can differ by a few minutes from one another, and many communities add a minute of precaution (ihtiyat) to Fajr or delay Isha; where your mosque differs, the local authority prevails. The math starts from the geometric position of the sun for 21.4225 N, 39.8262 E, in the Asia/Riyadh timezone, with the Meeus formulas implemented by the open adhan-js library (MIT, by Batoul Apps), the same one behind many Islamic apps. The start of Ramadan and Eid is NOT here: those dates depend on moon sighting and the proclamation of authorities, not on calculation. Whatever runs in the browser stays in the browser; if you allow geolocation, your position never leaves the device.
