Prayer Times in Mazar-i-Sharif

Today in Mazar-i-Sharif (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:04, sunrise at 06:32, Dhuhr at 11:46, Asr at 15:19, Maghrib at 16:58 and Isha at 18:27 local time (UTC+4:30).

The times are calculated for 36.7090°, 67.1109° with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (Fajr & Isha 18°) method, the convention most widely used in Afghanistan, and the Hanafi rule for Asr. Your local mosque may add a few minutes of precaution or use a different method, so its timetable takes precedence.

The qibla from Mazar-i-Sharif is 245° from true north (WSW), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 3,132 km away. Today at 16:26 the sun stands exactly in the direction of the qibla, so shadows point directly away from it, an easy way to check the direction without a compass.

On the June solstice, the longest day of the year in Mazar-i-Sharif, Fajr is at 02:51, Maghrib at 19:24 and Isha at 21:15; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 16 h 33 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 05:37 and Maghrib at 16:49, a fast of only 11 h 12 min.

Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier every year, so over a 33-year cycle the fasting day in Mazar-i-Sharif ranges between these two lengths. See the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Mazar-i-Sharif for suhoor and iftar times.
