FAQ
How accurate are the prayer times?
Prayer times are calculated using the adhan.js library with the ISNA method by default, which is the standard for US mosques. Times are verified against IslamicFinder.org and MuslimPro. The site recommends confirming with your local mosque for their specific method.
Which calculation method should I use?
Most US mosques use ISNA (the default). If your mosque uses Muslim World League (common in Europe), Karachi (South Asia), or Umm Al-Qura (Saudi Arabia), switch in the Settings panel on any prayer times page.
What is the difference between Shafi'i and Hanafi Asr times?
Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali madhabs calculate Asr when an object's shadow equals its height. Hanafi madhab begins Asr when the shadow is twice the height, making Hanafi Asr later in the afternoon.
Does this work outside the US?
Yes. The geolocation tool works anywhere in the world. The city directory covers 4,800+ cities worldwide. If your exact city is not listed, the search falls back to OpenStreetMap to find any inhabited place on Earth.
Can I cancel the Pro subscription anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. You keep Pro access until the end of your billing period. The site emails 7 days before any charge.
