United Kingdom Prayer Times — Tuesday, November 3, 2026

In the United Kingdom, prayer times are calculated according to the Muslim World League (MWL) standard (18° Fajr / 17° Isha) in the Europe/London timezone. Timings dynamically switch between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer.

Between mid-May and late July at UK latitudes (50°N to 58°N), the sun does not descend sufficiently below the horizon, causing continuous twilight (Aqrabul Ayyam). Timings implement the Middle of the Night (Nisf al-Layl) or angle-based adjustment rules to ensure valid Fajr and Isha prayer windows.

Standard Asr (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) begins when an object's shadow equals its height (1x). In the Hanafi juristic rule (widely observed across British South Asian mosques), Asr begins when the shadow reaches twice the object's height (2x), occurring approximately 45–60 minutes later.

Due to latitude differences, Glasgow and northern cities experience substantially longer summer daylight and shorter winter days compared to London and the south. Fajr, Maghrib, and sunrise can differ by 20 to 40 minutes across regions.

Friday Jumu'ah prayer is held at Dhuhr time in mosques across the UK. Due to large congregations, many major British mosques (such as East London Mosque and Birmingham Central Mosque) hold multiple shifts between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM.

From anywhere in the British Isles, the Qibla orientation points South-East (roughly 118° to 121° clockwise from True North) directly toward the Holy Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
