Prayer Times in Ahmedabad, India

Praying in Ahmedabad

Today runs to roughly 11 hours and 20 minutes of daylight in Ahmedabad, from sunrise at 6:43 am to sunset at 6:03 pm. None of the five are fixed to the clock — they follow the sun, and the sun keeps different hours in every month.

Finding the qibla

Turn west, about 273°, for the qibla. The distance works out to about 3,369 kilometres, or 2,094 miles. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

How the times are worked out

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Ramadan timings

Stop eating by 5:25 am; break the fast at 6:03 pm. That is about 12 hours and 38 minutes on today's times. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The yearly swing

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Ahmedabad brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

A walk through today's times

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 5:25 am. By 6:43 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:23 pm; Asr comes round at 4:27 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 6:03 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:33 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 20 minutes.
