Prayer Times & Qibla Compass

Today's namaz times for your host city and for Dhaka, with sehri (imsak) and iftar highlights, a Sunnah fasting indicator and the Qibla bearing — all calculated on-device.

How it works

Times are computed in your browser with the standard solar-position algorithm used by PrayTimes.org. North American cities use the ISNA angles (fajr and isha at 15°), Dhaka uses the Karachi method (18°/18°) with Hanafi asr, and Dubai and London use MWL (18°/17°).

Sehri ends at fajr and iftar is at maghrib. The Qibla bearing is the initial great-circle direction from your city to the Kaaba in Makkah, measured from true north — 55° NE from Toronto and almost due west from Dhaka.

In mid-summer at high latitudes where the fajr angle never occurs, the classical one-seventh-of-night rule is applied and a notice is shown. Everything works offline, on-device, with no data collection.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Bangladesh one day behind for Islamic dates?

Bangladesh relies on its own national moon sighting (Ru'yat-e-Hilal), which typically starts the month one day after Saudi Arabia and North America. The Hijri converter lets you apply that adjustment.

Which asr time should I use?

Most Bangladeshis follow the Hanafi school, where asr is later. That is the default here; switch to Standard for the earlier time used in the Shafi and other schools.

Are these times exact enough for fasting?

They match the standard calculation within a minute or two. Your local mosque timetable remains the authority, especially for imsak at high latitudes in summer.
