| Prayer | Begins |
| --- | --- |
| Fajr Dawn | 05:15 |
| Sunrise Shurūq | 06:59 |
| Dhuhr Midday | 12:58 |

**Begins** = the start of each prayer window (Muslim World League (MWL), Durham, England). Each mosque sets its own **iqamah** (congregation) time — set by the mosque. Saturday, 26th September 2026.

**High-latitude note:** at Durham's northern latitude the sun stays too high for true dawn and nightfall on these summer dates, so Fajr and Isha are estimated using the “one-seventh of the night” method. Always confirm with your local mosque.

Astronomical (MWL)[Full monthly timetable →](/durham/timetable)

## How are Durham prayer times calculated?

Durham times are calculated for the city’s coordinates (54.776°N, 1.573°W) with the **Muslim World League (MWL) method**: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha at 17°. When summer twilight never gets that dark, Fajr and Isha use a one-seventh-of-the-night limit. Many Durham mosques publish their own timetable, which can differ — most often for Fajr and Isha, where angles vary. You can switch method and Asr rule in the settings on the table above.

**Asr:** today’s Standard (Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanbali) Asr begins at 16:05 and Hanafi Asr at 16:54. The Hanafi rule waits until an object’s shadow is twice its length, so it is always later.

**Start times, not congregation times:** the tables show when each prayer window opens. Each mosque sets its own iqamah (jama’ah) and Jummah times, and there is no fixed gap between the two — check your mosque’s timetable. [Our methods and sources](/methodology).
