Prayer Times in Gent

Today's Fajr time for Gent is at the top of this page, with a live countdown. It is computed from the sun's position at Gent's coordinates using the Muslim World League method and shown in Europe/Brussels, so it is correct whether you are reading this in Gent or planning a trip from elsewhere.

Maghrib begins the moment the sun sets in Gent, and in Ramadan that is the time to break your fast. Today's Maghrib is listed above and the monthly timetable below gives every day this month, so you can plan ahead.

Belgium generally follows Muslim World League, which is what this page uses by default. Methods differ mainly in the sun angle they use for Fajr and Isha, so the two ends of the day can vary by several minutes between them. If your mosque follows another method, the prayer times tool lets you switch and see the difference.

The qibla from Gent is 123° SE from north, measured as a great-circle bearing to the Kaaba in Makkah — the shortest path across the earth's surface, which is why it can differ from the direction a flat map suggests.

They are calculated for Gent's own coordinates rather than a country-wide average, which matters: prayer times shift by roughly four minutes for every degree of longitude. For the closest match, use the page for the city nearest you.
