Prayer Times in Sydney Today

How we calculate prayer times in Sydney

We calculate the times for Sydney from the city's coordinates (-33.8688°, 151.2093°) and today's date with the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, Isha at 17°.

In summer the sun doesn't sink that far below the horizon at this latitude, so we apply the angle-based rule for high latitudes: Fajr is never earlier than a share of the night before sunrise, and Isha never later than the same share after sunset (the share is the angle divided by 60).

Australia has no single national calculation standard. We use the Muslim World League method, a widely used international standard; some Australian mosques publish their own timetables, so follow your mosque where it differs.

Asr is shown two ways: the standard time, held by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools (an object's shadow equals its length plus its shadow at noon), and the Hanafi time (twice its length), which comes later. Use the one your mosque follows.

Times are in local time, currently AEDT (UTC+11). Clocks change on Sunday 4 April 2027 (to AEST, UTC+10); the timetable and the countdown follow the change on their own.
