Prayer times for Peshawar
These namaz timings are calculated for Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, at 34.0151° N, 71.5249° E. Peshawar keeps Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5; time zone Asia/Karachi), and Pakistan does not currently change its clocks in summer. Times are worked out on your phone for each date with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr and Isha at 18° below the horizon) and Hanafi Asr, the school followed by most Muslims in Pakistan.
Because Peshawar lies 3.5° west of the 75.0° E meridian on which PKT is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 14 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:14 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 10 June (3:18 AM) and latest around 4 January (5:51 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:04 PM in December and 7:29 PM in June. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 16 h 11 min in June and the shortest about 11 h 23 min in December. Being far north, it sees a wide swing between short winter days and long summer days.
Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Khyber Pass, is home to the Mughal-era Mohabbat Khan Mosque in the old city. For jama'at, follow your local masjid's timetable.
