Today’s Prayer Times in Karachi — What Each Time Means
Each time above marks when a prayer’s waqt opens, worked out from the sun’s position over Karachi — dawn twilight sets Fajr, the sun’s peak sets Zuhr, an object’s shadow length sets Asr, sunset sets Maghrib, and nightfall sets Isha.
The times shift by about a minute every few days because sunrise and sunset move steadily through the year, so a fixed timetable would be wrong within a week. That is why the Salah times here update daily rather than staying static.
The “Ends” column tells you how long each waqt lasts, so you know whether you can still offer that Namaz or need to pray it as qaza. A missed Salat is made up as qaza once its window closes.
Here’s the next block — four sections, ready to paste. Times stay as widget placeholders; the two mosque times you must phone-verify are flagged.

Fajr Time in Karachi Today — Start, End & Qaza
Fajr in Karachi today begins at {{fajr_start}} and ends at sunrise, {{fajr_end}}. That sunrise moment is the hard cutoff — once the sun’s edge appears, the Fajr window is over.
Fajr time is the same in Hanafi and Shafi fiqh. Many people search for a separate “Hanafi Fajr time,” but the schools of thought do not differ here — both use the same dawn twilight. The only daily prayer where Hanafi and Shafi part ways is Asr, explained below. So the Fajr time above serves Hanafi, Shafi, and Sunni readers alike.
Fajr becomes qaza at sunrise. If you wake after the sun is up, offer it as qaza, and per Hanafi fiqh, hold off for the ~15–20 minutes while the sun is actually rising before praying. See our Qaza namaz guide for how to make up a missed Fajr correctly.
Fiqh Jafria Fajr starts a few minutes earlier, on a different twilight standard — see the Karachi Shia prayer times page for Jafria timings.
Fajr is 2 sunnah followed by 2 fard.
Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib & Isha in Karachi — Start and End Times
Zuhr Time Karachi
Zuhr in Karachi begins at {{zuhr_start}}, once the sun crosses its peak (zawal), and ends when Asr starts at {{asr_hanafi_start}}. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Zuhr for men who pray in congregation — see Jummah timings below. Zuhr is 4 sunnah, 4 fard, 2 sunnah, and 2 nafl.
Asr Time Karachi — Why Hanafi and Shafi Differ
Asr in Karachi begins at {{asr_hanafi_start}} under Hanafi fiqh and {{asr_shafi_start}} under Shafi — a gap of roughly 80 minutes. Hanafi waits until an object’s shadow reaches twice its own length; Shafi, Maliki, and Hanbali pray earlier, at one shadow length. Both start times sit in the table above. Asr ends at sunset, though praying in the final minutes before Maghrib is makruh and better avoided.
Maghrib Time Karachi
Maghrib begins at sunset, {{maghrib_start}}, and its window is the shortest of the five prayers — it ends when the western twilight fades, around {{maghrib_end}}. That short gap is why people check the Maghrib end time so often; there is little room to delay. During Ramadan, Iftar time in Karachi is the same moment as Maghrib.
Isha Time Karachi
Isha begins at nightfall, {{isha_start}}, once the twilight has gone, and stays valid until Fajr — though Hanafi scholars prefer it offered before midnight. Isha closes with 3 rakat Witr. In Ramadan, Taraweeh is prayed after the Isha fard.

Jummah (Friday) Prayer Time in Karachi {#jummah}
Jummah time is not an astronomical time. The Zuhr waqt opens at {{zuhr_start}}, but each mosque sets its own khutbah and jamaat time — most Karachi mosques hold Jummah between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM. Always confirm with your local masjid, since timings vary by area and season.

Prayer Times by Fiqh — Hanafi, Shafi, Ahle Hadees & Shia (Fiqh Jafria)
Across the schools of thought, what actually differs is Asr and the exact end of Maghrib — Fajr, Zuhr, and Isha start times stay the same for Sunni fiqhs. Here is how each maslak reads the times above.
| Fiqh | What changes | Karachi times |
|---|---|---|
| Hanafi | Later Asr — shadow must reach 2× an object’s length. Majority practice in Karachi. | The default shown above |
| Shafi | Earlier Asr — shadow at 1× length. Everything else matches Hanafi. | Use the Asr (Shafi) column |
| Ahle Hadees | Follows the earlier Asr, like Shafi. | See the Ahle Hadees timings page |
| Fiqh Jafria (Shia) | A different method — earlier Fajr, and Maghrib delayed until the sky’s redness fades. | See the Karachi Shia prayer times page |
Fiqh Jafria follows the Shia Ithna-Ashari method (Leva Institute, Qum): Fajr begins earlier on a different twilight angle, and Maghrib is offered about 10–15 minutes after sunset, once the eastern redness has passed. Many who follow this fiqh also combine Zuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha. The full Jafria timetable lives on the Karachi Shia prayer times page.
Sunrise, Ishraq, Chasht & Tahajjud Time in Karachi
Ishraq in Karachi begins about 15–20 minutes after sunrise, at {{ishraq_start}}, and runs through the early morning. It is a nafl prayer offered once the sun has fully risen.
Chasht (Duha) starts after Ishraq and lasts until Dahwa-e-Kubra, roughly 40 minutes before Zuhr. Its window today is {{chasht_start}} to {{chasht_end}}.
Tahajjud falls in the last third of the night — tonight in Karachi that is {{tahajjud_start}} until Fajr at {{fajr_start}}. It is offered after waking from sleep and carries great reward.
Prayer Times for Karachi Areas — DHA, Bahria Town, Gulshan & More
Within Karachi’s main districts — Gulshan, DHA, Clifton, Nazimabad, Korangi, Malir — prayer times differ by only a few seconds, so the citywide times above apply to all of them. There is no separate, meaningfully different schedule for these areas, and any site claiming otherwise is padding.
Bahria Town Karachi is the one real exception. It sits about 40 km east of the city on the M-9, far enough that Fajr and Maghrib shift by roughly a minute against central Karachi.
For nearby mosques and local jamaat times in your area, see the dedicated pages: DHA · Bahria Town · Gulshan-e-Iqbal · Clifton · Malir · Korangi · North Nazimabad.
How These Times Are Calculated (Method & Accuracy)
Every time on this page uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method — Fajr and Isha set at an 18° sun angle, Asr on the Hanafi standard by default, calculated for Karachi’s coordinates (24.86°N, 67.00°E) in Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5). This is the standard method for Pakistan and matches the timings most Karachi mosques follow.
Other methods exist — Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura (Makkah), ISNA, and the Jafari method (Qum) — and the switcher above lets you change to any of them. The times shown are the start of each waqt; some people add a minute or two as a personal precaution before praying.

FAQs — Karachi Namaz Timings
What time is Fajr in Karachi today?
Fajr in Karachi today begins at {{fajr_start}} and ends at sunrise, {{fajr_end}}. Once the sun rises, the Fajr window closes and the prayer is offered as qaza.
What is today’s Maghrib and Iftar time in Karachi?
Maghrib in Karachi today is at {{maghrib_start}}, the moment of sunset. During Ramadan, Iftar time is the same moment — you break your fast as Maghrib begins.
Why is Asr time different in Hanafi and Shafi?
Asr differs because the two schools measure shadow length differently — Hanafi waits until an object’s shadow is twice its length, Shafi prays at one length. In Karachi this creates a gap of about 80 minutes, and both times appear in the table above.
When does Fajr become qaza in Karachi?
Fajr becomes qaza at sunrise, {{fajr_end}}. If you wake after this, offer it as qaza, and per Hanafi fiqh, wait the 15–20 minutes while the sun is rising before praying. See our Qaza namaz guide.
Are prayer times the same across all Karachi areas?
Yes — across Gulshan, DHA, Clifton, Nazimabad, Korangi, and Malir, the times differ by only seconds, so the citywide schedule applies. Bahria Town Karachi, about 40 km east, shifts by roughly a minute.
What time is Jummah in Karachi mosques?
Jummah is set by each mosque, not by a fixed clock time. Most Karachi mosques hold it between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM — confirm the exact jamaat with your local masjid.
How many rakats are in the five daily prayers?
The five daily prayers total 17 fard rakats — Fajr 2, Zuhr 4, Asr 4, Maghrib 3, Isha 4. With the muakkadah sunnah and witr, a typical Hanafi day comes to around 48 rakats.
Which calculation method is correct for Karachi?
The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is the local standard, using an 18° angle for Fajr and Isha. It is followed across Pakistan and matches most Karachi mosque timings.
