This method is based on precise astronomical calculations and is used by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs for all official prayer timetables across the country.

This method is also used by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and many other organizations as a reference for Saudi-specific timings.

Yes, Madinah and Makkah prayer times differ by approximately 5 to 15 minutes depending on the prayer and season. Madinah is located approximately 450 kilometers north of Makkah, which causes slight variations in sunrise and sunset times. Generally, Fajr in Madinah is 5–10 minutes later than in Makkah, while Maghrib and Isha are 5–10 minutes earlier. Both cities use the same Umm al-Qura calculation method, so the differences are purely geographical. If you are travelling between the two holy cities, use our dedicated Makkah prayer times page for accurate timings.

During Ramadan, prayer times in Madinah follow the same Umm al-Qura calculation method but carry additional significance. Fajr marks the end of Suhoor (pre-dawn meal), Maghrib marks the breaking of the fast (Iftar), and Taraweeh prayers are held after Isha in Masjid an-Nabawi. In Ramadan 2026 (expected to begin around mid-February), Fajr in Madinah will be approximately 5:30 AM and Maghrib around 6:20 PM. In Ramadan 2027 (expected around early February), timings will be similar. The exact dates depend on moon sighting. We publish a dedicated Ramadan timetable for Madinah each year with Iftar and Suhoor times.

The best time to visit Madinah depends on your priorities. For fewer crowds, the months of Muharram, Safar, and Rajab (outside Ramadan) are ideal. For spiritual reward, Ramadan is unparalleled — praying Taraweeh in Masjid an-Nabawi is an unforgettable experience. For weather comfort, November through February offers mild temperatures (20–30 degrees Celsius), while May through September can exceed 45 degrees Celsius. Regardless of when you visit, knowing the exact Madinah prayer times is essential for planning your prayers in the Prophet’s Mosque and your Ziyarah to Masjid Quba and other historic sites.
