Islamic prayer times today

Fajr begins at dawn and ends at sunrise; Dhuhr begins just after midday; Asr in the afternoon, when an object's shadow reaches its length; Maghrib right after sunset; and Isha once twilight has gone. The exact clock times shift every day with the sun, which is why they differ by city.

Namaz is the Persian and Urdu word for salah, the obligatory daily prayer, so namaz time and salah time are the same schedule shown above. Muslim prayer times, athan times, and Islamic prayer times all refer to it too.

Times are calculated for your location with the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) convention: Fajr and Isha at 15° below the horizon, and the standard Asr, when a shadow equals its object's length. Masajid following the Hanafi Asr pray it later in the afternoon.

The athan time is when a prayer's time begins. The iqamah is when the congregation actually stands to pray at a masjid, usually 10 to 30 minutes later, and each masjid sets its own. That's why the masajid near you are listed with their own iqamah times.
