Prayer Times in Hyderābād, India

Praying in Hyderābād

There are around 9 hours and 42 minutes between Isha and Fajr in Hyderābād just now. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

Which way to face in Hyderābād

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 283°. Makkah is around 4,069 kilometres (2,528 miles) away in a straight line.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr opens the day at 4:58 am, well before first light. Sunrise at 6:14 am closes that window. Dhuhr 12:00 pm, Asr 4:10 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:46 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:16 pm. Around 11 hours and 32 minutes of daylight, all told.

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 4:58 am to 5:46 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 48 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Season by season in Hyderābād

Across the year the Hyderābād timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

Nearby cities

India has 135 other cities covered on this site. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

Isha to Fajr

Hyderābād gets roughly 9 hours and 42 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

The calculation behind them

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.
