Reading Prayer Times Today

Reading namaz timings today are Fajr 05:42, Sunrise 07:20, Dhuhr 11:53, Asr 14:28 (Shafi'i 13:52), Maghrib 16:19, Isha 17:46. The list at the top of this page shows them with the current prayer, and the arrows step to other days.

Fajr in Reading today begins at 05:42 and lasts until sunrise at 07:20. When fasting, suhoor ends as Fajr begins, and the fast is opened at Maghrib, 16:19.

Maghrib in Reading today is at 16:19, just after sunset. That is also iftar time, when the fast is opened. Maghrib lasts until Isha begins at 17:46.

Isha in Reading today begins at 17:46. Its time lasts until Fajr the next morning, and it is recommended not to delay it past the middle of the night.

Apps and mosques use different calculation methods. This page uses the Moonsighting Committee method with Fajr and Isha both at 18°. The difference is usually a few minutes for Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib and larger for Fajr and Isha.

Calculated with the Moonsighting Committee method, which Central Jamme Masjid and Abu Bakr Masjid publish to the minute. Reading has no timetable that most of its mosques share, so these times are calculated for central Reading with the Moonsighting Committee method, and checked against the mosques named above on dates through the year.

Reading has two Asr times. Today the Hanafi Asr in Reading 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 Reading mosques do.

Jumu'ah is prayed in place of Dhuhr. On Friday 20 November 2026 Dhuhr in Reading begins at 11:54. Each mosque sets its own khutbah and jamaat times, so check with the mosque you attend.

Reading is far enough north that the sky barely gets fully dark around midsummer. On Monday 21 June 2027, Fajr is at 02:47, Maghrib at 21:28 and Isha at 22:45. The Moonsighting Committee method applies seasonal limits so Isha and Fajr stay at a practical time.

The Qibla from Reading 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 Reading 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.
