Understanding Islamic Prayer Times
Isha Prayer Times Istanbul, Turkey: 21:32.
Istanbul is home to a vibrant Muslim community that relies on precise prayer schedules throughout the year. The daily salah cycle in Istanbul begins with Fajr — the pre-dawn prayer — and concludes with Isha after nightfall. Because Istanbul sits at latitude 41.0° north, the gap between sunrise and sunset shifts noticeably across seasons, which in turn affects every prayer window.
The morning prayer holds a cherished place in the daily routine of Muslims in Turkey. Fajr timing is determined by the first light appearing on the eastern horizon, well before the sun itself rises. This calculation uses the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey convention, which defines the Fajr angle recognised by scholars in the region. Waking for this early salah is considered one of the most rewarding acts of devotion.
All prayer times on this page are computed using the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (method 13), widely adopted in Turkey. The calculation factors in Istanbul's exact coordinates and altitude to produce results consistent with local mosque schedules. You can also switch to a different method in the settings panel above if you follow a different convention.
At muslimprayer.live, our mission is to help every Muslim pray on time, wherever they are in the world. Salah is one of the most important obligations in Islam — as Allah says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times" (Qur'an 4:103). We believe in the power of reminding one another, as the Qur'an teaches: "Command your family to pray and be steadfast in it" (Qur'an 20:132). You can share prayer time cards from any city page to help your friends and family stay connected to their daily prayers, no matter where they live. Together, we can support each other in fulfilling this blessed obligation.
