Adhan and the Start of Prayer Time
A practical explanation of adhan time and how it relates to the beginning of each prayer window.
Adhan on a city page means the calculated beginning of the prayer time for that city. Local announcements and mosque speakers may differ by mosque or community.
The site places adhan beside iqama estimates, qibla, and monthly schedules so people understand the full context.
Adhan vs Iqama
Adhan announces the time; iqama marks the congregation starting in a mosque. Iqama varies locally and should be confirmed with the mosque.
Estimated iqama: Fajr +25m, Dhuhr/Asr/Isha +20m, Maghrib +10m. The local mosque schedule is the reference when times differ.
