Worldwide salah guide
Prayer times, wherever you are
A practical guide to the five daily prayer times, why timetables differ between cities and mosques, and how to choose a trustworthy local reference.
The five daily prayer times
Muslims pray Fajr before sunrise, Dhuhr after solar noon, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset, and Isha after twilight. Sunrise is shown on many timetables as a useful boundary, but it is not one of the five obligatory prayers.
Because these times follow the sun, the correct schedule changes with your coordinates, date, season, and time zone. A timetable for a nearby city can still differ from your exact location.
Why prayer times can differ
Two reputable timetables may show slightly different times. Common reasons include the Fajr and Isha twilight angles, the juristic method used for Asr, high-latitude rules, elevation, daylight-saving changes, and local safety adjustments.
- Adhan time marks the beginning of a prayer window.
- Iqamah time is the congregation time chosen by a mosque and may be later.
- Local authority guidance should take priority when your mosque or recognised religious body publishes an official schedule.
Common regional calculation references
This table is a discovery guide, not a ruling. Practices vary within countries, so confirm the convention used by your local mosque.

| Malaysia | JAKIM/state authorities | Your state or federal territory |
| Indonesia | Kemenag/local authorities | City and regional settings |
| Pakistan, India and Bangladesh | Local institutions; Hanafi Asr is common | Madhhab and mosque timetable |

Using Falah for daily salah
With location permission, Falah can present prayer times for where you are and keep the next prayer visible in the app and widgets. Review the calculation preferences available in the app and compare the result with a trusted local mosque when arriving in a new country or city.
Confirm the device time zone after landing, check the local calculation convention, and remember that travel-related prayer rulings require qualified religious guidance.

Common questions
Why is my mosque timetable different from an app?
Mosques may use a different twilight angle, Asr method, safety adjustment, or fixed congregation time. Use the mosque’s published iqamah schedule for congregation and ask the mosque which calculation convention it follows.
Does Falah work when I travel?
Falah is designed to use your current location with permission. After travelling, confirm your device time zone and compare the result with a trusted local source.
Are prayer times and iqamah times the same?
No. Prayer time marks the start of the valid prayer window; iqamah is the time a congregation begins at a particular mosque.
