Prayer Times in Jerusalem (Al-Quds)

Today in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 04:31, sunrise at 06:01, Dhuhr at 11:24, Asr at 14:22, Maghrib at 16:44 and Isha at 18:05 local time (UTC+2).

The times are calculated for 31.7780°, 35.2354° with the Egyptian General Authority of Survey (Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°) method, the convention most widely used in Palestine, and the Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) 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 Jerusalem (Al-Quds) is 157° from true north (SSE), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 1,238 km away. Today at 10:10 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 Jerusalem (Al-Quds), Fajr is at 03:44, Maghrib at 19:48 and Isha at 21:24; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 16 h 04 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 05:00 and Maghrib at 16:39, a fast of only 11 h 39 min.

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