Why Prayer Times Differ Between Countries
Why prayer times change by geography, timezone, calculation method, and Asr setting.
Prayer times differ between countries because the sun does not reach every city at the same civil time. Longitude shifts the clock, latitude changes day length, and timezone rules shape the displayed time.
Fajr and Isha are especially sensitive to twilight settings, while Asr can differ because of shadow calculation settings.
When Difference Is Normal
When comparing distant countries or cities, it is normal for Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha to differ by minutes or hours.
When comparing places inside one country, check city, timezone, and calculation method before treating the difference as an error.
