Accurate Namaz timings and daily schedules are also available for other major hubs including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Soweto, Port Elizabeth, Pietermaritzburg, Benoni and Bloemfontein.

Prayer Times in South Africa — FAQ

Answers refreshed daily based on today's reference prayer times across South Africa.

What time are today's prayers in South Africa?

Reference times from Pretoria (capital of South Africa) for today: Fajr 04:15, Dhuhr 11:53, Asr 15:23, Maghrib 18:11, Isha 19:41 (local time, Africa/Johannesburg). Click any city in the list below to see times specific to that location.

Why do prayer times differ between cities in South Africa?

Prayer times depend on the local sunrise, solar zenith, and sunset — which shift with longitude and latitude. Even within South Africa, two cities a few hundred kilometres apart can have Fajr times that differ by 10–20 minutes. Always use the city-specific page rather than a national average.

What is today's Hijri date in South Africa?

Today corresponds to 1 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH in the Islamic Hijri calendar. In South Africa, the Hijri date changes at Maghrib (sunset) of each city — the time of which is shown on the individual city pages.

Which Qibla direction do Muslims in South Africa face?

All Muslims face the Kaaba in Mecca, but the bearing (measured clockwise from true north) differs by city within South Africa because of the Earth's curvature. Each city page shows the precise Qibla bearing for that location, calculated via the great-circle method.

How many cities in South Africa have published prayer times here?

This page links to prayer times for 65 cities in South Africa. Each city has its own page with daily and monthly timetables, per-prayer details, and a Qibla bearing.

Are prayer times in this country adjusted for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes — all times shown are in local civil time and automatically reflect any DST shifts observed in South Africa. There is no separate adjustment needed.

Which calculation method should I follow?

The page defaults to widely-accepted regional conventions (Umm al-Qura for the Arabian Peninsula, ISNA for North America, Muslim World League for most of Europe and Asia). If your local mosque uses a different method, switch via the page filters and bookmark the resulting URL for daily reference.
