Chelmsford Prayer Times Today

Chelmsford namaz timings today are Fajr 05:31, Sunrise 07:12, Dhuhr 11:48, Asr 14:22 (Shafi'i 13:45), Maghrib 16:12, Isha 17:45. The list at the top of this page shows them with the current prayer, and the arrows step to other days.

Fajr in Chelmsford today begins at 05:31 and lasts until sunrise at 07:12. When fasting, suhoor ends as Fajr begins, and the fast is opened at Maghrib, 16:12.

Maghrib in Chelmsford today is at 16:12, just after sunset. That is also iftar time, when the fast is opened. Maghrib lasts until Isha begins at 17:45.

Isha in Chelmsford today begins at 17:45. Its time lasts until Fajr the next morning, and it is recommended not to delay it past the middle of the night.

Apps calculate prayer times from sun angles, while this page shows the start times Chelmsford Muslim Society's timetable publishes. A mosque that follows another timetable usually differs by a few minutes for Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib and by more for Fajr and Isha.

Times follow Chelmsford Muslim Society's timetable for its Central Mosque and Hamptons Centre. Chelmsford has no city-wide timetable. These are Chelmsford Muslim Society's published start times, loaded from its timetable rather than calculated, because no standard calculation reproduces its seasonal rules.

Chelmsford has two Asr times. Today the Hanafi Asr in Chelmsford is at 14:22, 37 minutes after the Shafi'i Asr at 13:45. Hanafi Asr starts when an object's shadow is twice its length; the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali time starts at once its length. The list on this page shows the Hanafi time first, as most Chelmsford mosques do.

Jumu'ah is prayed in place of Dhuhr. On Friday 20 November 2026 Dhuhr in Chelmsford begins at 11:49. Each mosque sets its own khutbah and jamaat times, so check with the mosque you attend.

In summer sunset comes late and twilight lasts long, so Isha follows it. On Monday 21 June 2027, Fajr is at 02:36, Maghrib at 21:23 and Isha at 22:41. Isha follows Chelmsford Muslim Society's published timetable.

The Qibla from Chelmsford is 120° from true north, roughly east-southeast. That is the shortest path across the globe to the Kaaba in Makkah, which is why it points east-southeast rather than straight towards Saudi Arabia on a flat map.

All times are Chelmsford local time, currently GMT. The clocks change on Sunday 28 March 2027; from that day the times are in BST, and the timetable already accounts for it.
