Oxford Prayer Times Today

Oxford namaz timings today are Fajr 05:24, Sunrise 07:21, Dhuhr 11:50, Asr 14:28 (Shafi'i 13:52), Maghrib 16:16, Isha 18:13. The list at the top of this page shows them with the current prayer, and the arrows step to other days.

Fajr in Oxford today begins at 05:24 and lasts until sunrise at 07:21. When fasting, suhoor ends as Fajr begins, and the fast is opened at Maghrib, 16:16.

Maghrib in Oxford today is at 16:16, just after sunset. That is also iftar time, when the fast is opened. Maghrib lasts until Isha begins at 18:13.

Isha in Oxford today begins at 18:13. 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 Central Oxford Mosque'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 Central Oxford Mosque's published timetable, which starts Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon. Oxford has no city-wide timetable. These are Central Oxford Mosque's published start times, loaded from its timetable rather than calculated, because no standard calculation reproduces its seasonal rules.

Oxford has two Asr times. Today the Hanafi Asr in Oxford is at 14:28, 36 minutes after the Shafi'i Asr at 13:52. 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 Oxford mosques do.

Jumu'ah is prayed in place of Dhuhr. On Friday 20 November 2026 Dhuhr in Oxford begins at 11:51. 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 01:07, Maghrib at 21:27 and Isha at 22:35. Central Oxford Mosque sets Isha 80 to 105 minutes after sunset from February to October, and about two hours after sunset from November to January.

The Qibla from Oxford is 118° 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 Oxford 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.
