Prayer Times in Warsaw, Poland

The prayer day in Warsaw

Every time on this page traces back to one pair of numbers: 52.23° N, 21.01° E, the position of Warsaw itself. The difference between one town and the next is only minutes, but those minutes are the whole of Fajr and Maghrib.

How much the times move

At this latitude, midsummer creates a real difficulty: the sky never fully darkens, so there is no moment when the sun sits far enough below the horizon to give a clear Fajr or Isha. Communities in places like Warsaw generally follow a local ruling through those weeks — the nearest large mosque or Islamic centre will have guidance. The rest of the year the calculated times work as normal.

A walk through today's times

Everything begins with Fajr, 4:29 am today. You have until 6:28 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:20 am; Asr comes round at 2:21 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 4:11 pm; Isha is the last, at 5:41 pm. That is some 9 hours and 43 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Fasting hours

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:29 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 4:11 pm. Around 11 hours and 42 minutes without food or water today. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Warsaw arrives some 40 minutes before what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 11:20 am rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

A note on the method used

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Qibla from Warsaw

Face south-south-east — roughly 148° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. Makkah is around 3,788 kilometres (2,354 miles) away in a straight line. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.
