How are prayer times calculated?

Prayer times are computed from the exact geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each city, combined with the local timezone. The calculation relies on the sun's position relative to the horizon: each prayer corresponds to a specific solar angle defined by the chosen calculation method.

Salatna automatically applies the official method for each country. In the UK, the MWL method (Muslim World League, 18° below the horizon) is used. In France, the UOIF method (12°) is standard. For ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), the angle is 15°. These differences directly affect Fajr and Isha times, especially during summer months and at higher latitudes.

Unlike paper calendars or apps that don't refresh their data, Salatna recalculates times in real-time for every city and every day. Daylight saving time transitions are handled automatically through IANA timezone management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do prayer times vary from city to city?
Prayer times depend on the sun's position, which changes with the latitude, longitude, and elevation of each city. Two cities 100 km apart can have several minutes difference in Fajr and Isha times. That's why Salatna calculates times individually for each city.
What is the MWL method and why is it used in the UK?
The MWL (Muslim World League) method uses an 18° angle below the horizon for Fajr and Isha calculations. It's the standard method endorsed by major Islamic organisations in the UK. Other countries use different methods: UOIF (12°) in France, ISNA (15°) in North America.
How does Salatna handle daylight saving time changes?
Prayer times are calculated using IANA timezones (e.g., Europe/London, Europe/Paris), which automatically include summer/winter time transitions. You don't need to configure anything — displayed times always reflect the correct local time.
Are the times reliable during Ramadan?
Yes. Fajr (beginning of the fast) and Maghrib (breaking of the fast) are calculated with the same precision year-round. We recommend cross-referencing with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments.
What's the difference between Fajr and Sunrise?
Fajr marks the beginning of astronomical dawn — the moment when the Fajr prayer becomes permissible. Sunrise is when the sun appears above the horizon, after which the Fajr prayer is no longer valid. The interval between the two ranges from 60 to 120 minutes depending on season and latitude.
How do I find the Qibla direction?
The Qibla is the direction towards the Kaaba in Mecca. Salatna calculates the precise angle from geographic north for each city. On your city's page, the angle in degrees is displayed. Use a compass or your phone's compass app to orient yourself.
