Prayer Times in South Africa

Prayer times vary across South Africa — they shift by about four minutes for every degree of longitude, and more where the country spans several timezones. Pick your city from the list on this page for exact times, or use the prayer times tool to detect your location automatically.

Pages for cities in South Africa use Muslim World League by default, the method most widely followed there. Methods differ in the sun angle used for Fajr and Isha, so they mainly disagree at dawn and at night.

75 cities have pages of their own, starting with Johannesburg. Each has today's times, a monthly timetable and the qibla direction. If yours is not listed, the nearest one is within a few minutes.

Ramadan follows the Hijri calendar, so its Gregorian date moves back about eleven days each year and the exact start depends on the moon sighting your country follows. The Ramadan countdown tracks it, and each city page gives the Fajr and Maghrib times that set suhoor and iftar.
