# UK Prayer Times

> Free, accurate Islamic prayer times (Salah / Namaz / Salat) and a mosque directory for 130+ cities across the United Kingdom. An independent, free community service — not affiliated with any mosque or organisation. No ads, no tracking, no registration.

## About the data

- **London and the M25 area** use the official **London Unified Prayer Timetable (LUPT)** — adopted by Hizbul Ulama UK and the Central Moon Sighting Committee, and followed by East London Mosque, London Central Mosque and most mosques inside the M25. Its Fajr and Isha come from moonsighting-committee observation, not a fixed angle.
- **The rest of the UK** uses the **Muslim World League (MWL)** method — Fajr 18°, Isha 17° — computed locally from precise solar astronomy for each city's coordinates. British Summer Time (BST) is handled automatically. Times are computed on-device (no third-party API).
- At northern UK latitudes the sun does not always reach those angles in summer, so a documented high-latitude adjustment (one-seventh of the night) is applied and disclosed where needed (e.g. Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh).
- Asr can be viewed with the **Standard (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali)** or **Hanafi** time, and alternative methods (Karachi 18°, ISNA 15°, Egyptian) can be selected on each city page.
- The times shown are astronomical prayer **start** times. Each mosque sets its own iqamah (congregational) times, typically 15–30 minutes later — always confirm locally.
