Moonsighting Committee method

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.

Each mosque sets its own jama'ah (congregation) times, so check with the mosque you attend.

Fajr Time In Reading Today

Fajr in Reading today, Saturday 24 October 2026, is at 06:07; sunrise is at 07:43, so Fajr ends then. Tomorrow, Sunday 25 October 2026, Fajr is at 05:09.

These times use the Moonsighting Committee method, with Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and seasonal limits for Reading's high latitude. Fajr is also often spelled Fajar.

Other websites may show a different Fajr time for Reading because they use other calculation methods: ISNA puts Fajr at 15°, which gives a later time, while the Muslim World League and Karachi methods use 18° like this page but handle high latitudes differently. The gap is widest in summer, when the sky over Reading never gets fully dark.

Maghrib Time In Reading Today

Maghrib in Reading today, Saturday 24 October 2026, is at 17:55. This is also iftar time: when fasting, the fast is opened at Maghrib. Tomorrow, Sunday 25 October 2026, Maghrib is at 16:53.

Maghrib begins once the sun has fully set; the Moonsighting Committee method adds 3 minutes to sunset as a precaution. It lasts until Isha begins, at 19:17 today. It is recommended to pray it soon after it begins.

Because every calculation method works from sunset, Maghrib times for Reading usually differ by only a few minutes between apps, websites and mosques, mostly from the precaution each one adds.

Isha Time In Reading Today

Isha in Reading today, Saturday 24 October 2026, is at 19:17. Tomorrow, Sunday 25 October 2026, Isha is at 18:15.

These times use the Moonsighting Committee method, with Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon and seasonal limits for Reading's high latitude. The time for Isha lasts until Fajr, and it is recommended not to delay it past the middle of the night.

Isha times for Reading differ between sites most in summer. Around midsummer the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon in Reading, so each method falls back on a high-latitude rule, such as the middle of the night or one-seventh of the night. Methods also use different Isha angles: the Muslim World League uses 17°, ISNA 15° and Karachi 18°, while Umm al-Qura sets Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib.

In late June, Abu Bakr Masjid lists Isha up to 9 minutes earlier than this page.

What Time Is Isha In Reading Today?

Isha in Reading today begins at 19:17. Its time lasts until Fajr the next morning, and it is recommended not to delay it past the middle of the night.

Why Do Reading Prayer Times Differ Between Apps And Mosques?

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.

Do These Times Match Reading Mosques?

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.

What Is The Asr Time In Reading For Hanafis?

Reading has two Asr times. Today the Hanafi Asr in Reading is at 16:01, 41 minutes after the Shafi'i Asr at 15:20. 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.

What Time Is Jumu'ah In Reading?

Jumu'ah is prayed in place of Dhuhr. On Friday 30 October 2026 Dhuhr in Reading begins at 11:53. Each mosque sets its own khutbah and jamaat times, so check with the mosque you attend.

Why Is Isha So Late In Reading In Summer?

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.

What Is The Qibla Direction In Reading?

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.

Are These Times In GMT Or BST?

All times are Reading local time, currently BST. The clocks change on Sunday 25 October 2026; from that day the times are in GMT, and the timetable already accounts for it.
