Prayer Time Methodology

University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi Hanafi Asr Default Fajr & Isha 18° Asia/Karachi · UTC+5

KarachiPrayerTime.pk uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation method for the main timetable. This is the Pakistan-focused method commonly used on major prayer-time pages and is a practical fit for Karachi users.

The default table shows Hanafi Asr, because that is the common practice in many Karachi mosques and households. The Standard/Shafi Asr time is shown separately wherever needed, so users can follow the method used by their own masjid, teacher, or family.

Fajr Calculated using an 18° twilight angle.
Isha Calculated using an 18° twilight angle.
Asr Hanafi is default; Standard/Shafi is shown separately for comparison.
Location Calculated for Karachi, Pakistan using Karachi coordinates and Pakistan Standard Time.

The times shown on this website are prayer start times. They are not the same as mosque jamaat times. A masjid may set its own jamaat, khutbah, Taraweeh, or Jummah schedule after the waqt begins.

Small differences of one or two minutes can appear between reliable sources because of rounding, coordinates, calculation method, twilight angle, or local precaution. We keep the method visible so users know exactly what the displayed times are based on.

If you follow Jafria/Shia, Ahle Hadees, or another method, use the relevant method-specific page when available. We do not mix different methods silently inside the main Hanafi timetable.
