Rawalpindi Prayer Time
Rawalpindi, the twin city of Islamabad, shares very similar prayer times due to its geographical proximity. Rawalpindi prayer time is nearly identical to Islamabad's timings, with minor variations. Our platform provides dedicated accurate times for Rawalpindi residents.
Asr Prayer Time — The Middle Prayer
The Asr prayer time is unique because it has two different calculation opinions among Islamic scholars. The Hanafi method (used by most Pakistani Muslims) calculates Asr when an object's shadow equals twice its length, while the Shafi method uses a shadow equal to the object's length. Our calculator uses the standard Pakistani (Hanafi) Asr time. The Asr prayer must be completed before sunset and is among the prayers specifically emphasized in the Holy Quran.
Why Prayer Times Differ Between Cities
Prayer times vary between cities because they are astronomically calculated based on the sun's position relative to each location. Cities at different longitudes experience sunrise, solar noon, and sunset at different times. For example, Karachi prayer time for Maghrib may be 10–15 minutes different from Islamabad prayer time for Maghrib on the same day. This is why it's crucial to use city-specific prayer time calculators like ours.
How We Calculate Prayer Times
Our prayer times are fetched using the Aladhan Prayer Times API, which uses verified astronomical formulas approved by Islamic scholars. The calculation method follows the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi standard — the officially recognized method throughout Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and India. Times are automatically updated at midnight each day to ensure you always have today's accurate prayer schedule.
