Find accurate, up-to-date prayer times for Sydney, Australia. This page shows today's Fajr, Sunrise, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha timings for Sydney, along with the complete 30-day Namaz timetable below. Prayer times are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method with the Hanafi juristic setting for Asr, and are updated automatically every day.
Muslims in Sydney observe five daily prayers — Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — each tied to the sun's position rather than the clock, which is why timings shift slightly every day. Fajr begins with the first light of dawn, Zuhr shortly after the sun passes its zenith, Asr in the mid-to-late afternoon, Maghrib immediately after sunset, and Isha once evening twilight has faded. Because Sydney sits at its own specific latitude and longitude, its prayer schedule differs — sometimes by a few minutes, sometimes by much more — from other cities in Australia and around the world, even on the same calendar day.
How These Timings Are Calculated
The prayer times shown for Sydney are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation method, with Asr determined according to the Hanafi juristic school (followed by the majority of Muslims in South Asia). If your local mosque's announced Jama'at time differs slightly from the times shown here, that is normal — congregational (Jama'at) timing is typically set a few minutes after the calculated start time to allow worshippers to gather, and may vary slightly by neighbourhood or mosque.
