Prayer Times in Astana

Today in Astana (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:24, sunrise at 07:19, Dhuhr at 11:59, Asr at 14:48, Maghrib at 16:37 and Isha at 18:24 local time (UTC+5).

The times are calculated for 51.1694°, 71.4491° with the Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) method, the convention most widely used in Kazakhstan, and the Hanafi rule for Asr. Because Astana lies above 48° latitude, Fajr and Isha around midsummer follow the "seventh of the night" rule, as the sun does not sink far enough below the horizon. Your local mosque may add a few minutes of precaution or use a different method, so its timetable takes precedence.

The qibla from Astana is 231° from true north (SW), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 4,292 km away. Today at 15:34 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 Astana, Fajr is at 02:55, Maghrib at 20:33 and Isha at 21:37; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 17 h 38 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 06:12 and Maghrib at 16:09, a fast of only 9 h 57 min.

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