Begins = the start of each prayer window (Muslim World League (MWL), Wakefield, England). Each mosque sets its own iqamah (congregation) time — usually 15–30 minutes later. Tuesday, 11th August 2026.

High-latitude note: at Wakefield's northern latitude the sun stays too high for true dawn and nightfall on these summer dates, so Fajr and Isha are estimated using the “one-seventh of the night” method. Always confirm with your local mosque.

At Wakefield's latitude the sun doesn't reach the Fajr/Isha twilight angle around this date, so a documented high-latitude adjustment (one-seventh of the night) is applied. Confirm with your local mosque.

About Wakefield

Wakefield in West Yorkshire has a Muslim community predominantly of Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage, concentrated in areas such as Eastmoor, Lupset and the town centre. Muslims have been present in Wakefield since the 1960s, when families settled to work in the mining and textile industries. Today the city's mosques provide five daily prayers, Jummah, Islamic education and community welfare for a growing community that draws worshippers from Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract and the surrounding West Yorkshire towns.

About Prayer Times in Wakefield

Prayer times in Wakefield are calculated from astronomical data for the city's location using the Muslim World League (MWL) method — Fajr at 18° below the horizon and Isha at 17°, the most widely used calculation among UK mosques.

Because Wakefield is at a northern UK latitude, prayer times vary substantially by season. In summer, Fajr can begin as early as 2:30–3:00 AM and Maghrib falls after 9:00 PM — making the Ramadan fasting day one of the longest in the world. In winter, all five prayers fall within a much shorter day: Fajr around 6:30–7:00 AM and Maghrib around 3:30–4:00 PM, with Dhuhr, Asr and Isha all within a few hours.

The times shown above are astronomical prayer start times — when each prayer window opens. Your local mosque's iqamah (congregational prayer) times are typically 15–30 minutes later and are set independently by each mosque. Always confirm iqamah times directly with your mosque.
