How these times are calculated
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee Worldwide
- Fajr
- 18° with seasonal adjustment
- Isha
- seasonal twilight (shafaq)
- Highlighted Asr
- Hanafi (shadow twice the length)
UK times use the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method. In summer, cities above 55 degrees north, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule for Fajr and Isha because true twilight never ends there. Dhuhr is shown 5 minutes after solar noon and Maghrib 3 minutes after sunset, following the method's guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does Oxford highlight?
Oxford highlights the Hanafi time, the later of the two. The Standard time is shown as well, and the switch above the timetable moves the highlight. Whichever you follow, use your own mosque's timetable for congregation.
Which direction is the Qibla in Oxford?
A line from Oxford to Makkah leaves at 118 degrees clockwise from true north, so the Kaaba lies roughly east-south-east. In a compass app, look for the option that shows true north rather than magnetic north.
How much longer is the longest fast than the shortest in Oxford?
Just over nine hours. The longest is 18h 45m on 22 June and the shortest 9h 32m on 18 December, four days before the winter solstice. Both are measured from Fajr to Maghrib.
Is Isha latest on the longest day in Oxford?
Yes. The latest Isha is on 21 June, the day of the solstice. The longest fast comes a day later, on 22 June, because it is measured from Fajr to Maghrib, not to Isha.
