Prayer Times in Samarkand

Today in Samarkand (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:36, sunrise at 07:08, Dhuhr at 12:17, Asr at 15:42, Maghrib at 17:23 and Isha at 18:50 local time (UTC+5).

The times are calculated for 39.6270°, 66.9750° with the Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) method, the convention most widely used in Uzbekistan, 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 Samarkand is 240° from true north (WSW), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 3,273 km away. Today at 16:28 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 Samarkand, Fajr is at 03:03, Maghrib at 20:03 and Isha at 21:56; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 17 h 00 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 06:12 and Maghrib at 17:11, a fast of only 10 h 59 min.

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