Praying in Auckland
New Zealand's clocks go forward on 26 September, and by January Auckland's summer evenings are very long: Isha does not begin until 10:27 PM on 1 January. Its earliest, in winter, is 6:38 PM on 9 June. The longest fast, 16h 34m, falls on 20 December, well before the clocks go back.
Ramadan 2027, expected around 8 February to 8 March, comes at the end of this summer, so the month's fasts start long and ease off as autumn nears. Fajr is latest at 6:09 AM on 2 April, two days before the clocks go back on 4 April.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Standard and Hanafi Asr in Auckland?
Standard Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length, and Hanafi Asr when the shadow is twice that, which is later in the afternoon. This page highlights Standard, lets you switch, and remembers the choice on other city pages.
Which way is the Qibla from Auckland?
Auckland's Qibla is 261 degrees clockwise from true north, a little south of due west. It heads west over the Tasman Sea, following the shortest path over the globe. A mosque's mihrab shows the same direction.
How many mosques are there near Auckland?
OpenStreetMap lists 29 mosques within 15 km of the city centre. The data is gathered by volunteers, so it may miss smaller prayer rooms or contain old entries. A mosque's own timetable is the best source for congregational times.
Why are Auckland's longest days in December?
Auckland is in the southern hemisphere, so the sun is at its highest in December. The Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch peaks at 16h 34m on 20 December and drops to 11h 11m on 18 June, the reverse of London or Toronto.
Why is Fajr earliest in early December in Auckland?
Fajr reaches 4:04 AM on 9 December, ahead of the longest fast on 20 December, and the dawn prayer then moves later through summer and early autumn until 2 April. That is the southern-hemisphere mirror of June in the north.
