mosque Calculated to Shariah-compliant formulas

Every Islamic calculator on CalcaTools uses formulas from recognised Shariah authorities — the Hilal Committee's Hijri conversion tables, the MWL/ISNA/Umm al-Qura prayer-time methods, the four-school consensus for Zakat Nisab, and the Faraid distribution rules from classical fiqh. The exact authority is cited on every tool page.

For tools where the calculation differs between schools (Faraid inheritance, certain Zakat triggers, prayer-time conventions), we surface the choice as a selector and document the difference in the methodology block. Pick the school that matches your tradition — the answer adjusts.

savings Zakat with the live Nisab

Zakat tools fetch the current spot gold/silver price (or let you enter your local rate) so the Nisab threshold reflects today's value, not a stale figure from last year. The 2.5% rate is the standard hawl-based calculation; agricultural Zakat (1/10 or 1/20) is available on the dedicated Ushr calculator.

verified For guidance, not a fatwa

These calculators give you the number — they do not give a fatwa. For complex personal situations (inheritance with revoked rights, mixed-asset Zakat, late prayer makeup rules), please confirm with a qualified scholar in your tradition. We're here to help with the arithmetic, not to replace your local imam.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Times from solar declination & equation of time; Fajr/Isha at method twilight angles; Asr at shadow = 1× (or 2× Hanafi) object length

The Prayer Times Calculator is built on a well-established calculation method. It uses the formula Times from solar declination & equation of time; Fajr/Isha at method twilight angles; Asr at shadow = 1× (or 2× Hanafi) object length to turn your inputs into a reliable result. Calculates the five daily Islamic prayer times — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — for any location and date. Enter your coordinates and select a calculation method (MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, or custom), The steps are shown on the page so you can follow the reasoning from input to output.

  1. Enter latitude, longitude, date, and your UTC offset.
  2. Pick the calculation method your community follows.
  3. Choose standard or Hanafi Asr.
  4. The solar engine computes all six times for that exact location.

Example: New York (40.71, −74.01) on 2026-06-21, MWL → Fajr 03:19, Dhuhr 12:59, Asr 16:58, Maghrib 20:31, Isha 22:28.

Frequently asked questions

How are Islamic prayer times calculated?
They are derived from the sun's position using your latitude, longitude, and date. Dhuhr falls at solar noon, Asr when the shadow reaches 1× (or 2× for the Hanafi school) object height, Maghrib at sunset, and Fajr and Isha when the sun is a method-specific angle below the horizon. The calculator applies the chosen calculation method consistently across all five times.
Which calculation method should I choose?
The Prayer Times Calculator uses the standard Times from solar declination & equation of time; Fajr/Isha at method twilight angles; Asr at shadow = 1× (or 2× Hanafi) object length. You enter your values, and the calculator applies the formula step by step, showing the working so you can verify the math and understand how the result is derived rather than trusting a black box.
What is the difference between standard and Hanafi Asr?
The Prayer Times Calculator is free, private, and accurate: it runs entirely in your browser (no uploads, no accounts), applies the standard calculation, and explains each step so you can verify the result.

The full calculation runs on the device, so you get the same speed and precision on mobile as on a computer, even with a weak connection.
Does this work at high latitudes?
The standard solar-angle method can produce extreme or undefined times near the poles, where the sun barely rises or sets in summer and winter. The calculator applies the common high-latitude adaptations — the middle-of-the-night method or the angle-based methods (15°, 18°, or the nearest-latitude rule) — when the sun does not reach the required depression angle. Choose the adaptation your local community uses.
