Prayer Times in Sharjah Today

Accurate prayer times in Sharjah, UAE are calculated using the Umm Al-Qura University — the standard astronomical authority for this region. Times are sourced live from the Aladhan API and updated daily.

The five daily prayers (Salah) are obligatory for every Muslim. Fajr begins at the break of dawn before sunrise. Dhuhr is at midday when the sun passes its zenith. Asr falls in the late afternoon. Maghrib begins immediately after sunset. Isha is the night prayer, performed after twilight has disappeared.

Sunrise is shown as a reference time — it is not a prayer. Prayer times in Sharjah vary throughout the year as the sun's position changes with the seasons. The times shown are calculated using astronomical equations verified by Islamic scholars and cross-referenced with local mosque times.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are prayer times calculated in Sharjah?
Times are calculated using the Umm Al-Qura University, which uses astronomical equations based on the sun's position relative to Sharjah's coordinates (25.33°N, 55.44°E). The data comes from the Aladhan API, which is trusted by Muslims worldwide.
Why does Sharjah use the Umm Al-Qura University?
Different countries follow their own religious calculation authorities. UAE uses the Umm Al-Qura University as the standard reference. TaqwaTools automatically applies the correct method for each city based on its country.
Are these times the same as my local mosque?
Times should be within 1-3 minutes of your local mosque. Minor differences can occur due to elevation, local landmarks, or specific mosque adjustments. Always verify with your local mosque for Friday (Jumu'ah) prayers.
Can I see prayer times for other cities?
Yes — type any city name in the search box above and prayer times will instantly update with the correct calculation method for that location. TaqwaTools covers 200+ cities and falls back to Nominatim for any city worldwide.
What is the Sunrise time shown for?
Sunrise is shown as a reference — it marks the end of the Fajr prayer window and the beginning of the prohibited prayer time (until Dhuhr). It is not a prayer itself.
