Prayer Times in Mazar-e-Sharif Today
Times for Mazar-e-Sharif follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. Calculation authorities differ on how far below the horizon the sun must sit for Fajr to begin and Isha to end, which is the main reason published times vary between sources. Afghanistan conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
At 36.7° north, Mazar-e-Sharif has a pronounced seasonal swing — daylight can differ by four hours or more between June and December. In the long summer, Fajr and Isha crowd together at either end of a short night.
Asr in Mazar-e-Sharif is shown by the Hanafi reckoning, which marks its start when an object's shadow reaches twice its own length. The Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools use once its length, which falls roughly an hour earlier depending on the season. Both are long-established positions; the juristic school can be switched on this page.
These times are computed for 36.7069°N, 67.1100°E in the Asia/Kabul timezone. Because the calculation is tied to coordinates rather than to a city boundary, mosques a few kilometres away may publish times a minute or two apart, and many add a small precautionary margin of their own.
