🕌 How Are Prayer Times Calculated for Nankana Sahib?

Prayer times for Nankana Sahib are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Method 1), which is the most widely followed calculation standard across Pakistan. This method uses a Fajr angle of 18° and an Isha angle of 18° below the horizon.

The Hanafi juristic school (Fiqh) is applied for Asr timing, where the shadow of an object must equal twice its length plus its shadow at noon. For followers of Fiqa Jafria (Shia), Asr begins when the shadow equals the object's length (1× ratio), and Isha uses a different twilight angle — use our Hanafi vs Jafria comparison tool above to see the exact differences for Nankana Sahib.
