About York

York in North Yorkshire, one of England's most historic cities, has a growing Muslim community that includes students, academics and long-settled families from Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Arab and Turkish backgrounds. The presence of the University of York and York St John University brings a significant Muslim student population. The city's mosques serve Muslims from across York and the surrounding North Yorkshire area, with Islamic education and community welfare complementing the worship programme.

About Prayer Times in York

Prayer times in York are calculated from astronomical data for the city's location using the Muslim World League (MWL) method — Fajr at 18° below the horizon and Isha at 17°, the standard recommended by major UK Islamic organisations including the Muslim Council of Britain.

Because York is at a northern UK latitude, prayer times vary substantially by season. In summer, Fajr can begin as early as 2:30–3:00 AM and Maghrib falls after 9:00 PM — making the Ramadan fasting day one of the longest in the world. In winter, all five prayers fall within a much shorter day: Fajr around 6:30–7:00 AM and Maghrib around 3:30–4:00 PM, with Dhuhr, Asr and Isha all within a few hours.

The times shown above are astronomical prayer start times — when each prayer window opens. Your local mosque's iqamah (congregational prayer) times are typically 15–30 minutes later and are set independently by each mosque. Always confirm iqamah times directly with your mosque.
