Prayer times for Karachi
These namaz timings are calculated for Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, at 24.8607° N, 67.0011° E. Karachi keeps Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5; time zone Asia/Karachi), and Pakistan does not currently change its clocks in summer. Times are worked out on your phone for each date with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr and Isha at 18° below the horizon) and Hanafi Asr, the school followed by most Muslims in Pakistan.
Because Karachi lies 8.0° west of the 75.0° E meridian on which PKT is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 32 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:32 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 9 June (4:13 AM) and latest around 9 January (5:58 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:42 PM in November and 7:26 PM in July. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 15 h 10 min in June and the shortest about 11 h 57 min in December. The seasons move the times noticeably, but less than in the far north.
Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and main port. The default calculation method on this page is named after a Karachi institution, the University of Islamic Sciences. Masjid-e-Tooba, with its single large dome, is one of the city's landmarks. For jama'at, follow your local masjid's timetable.
