Lying low on the Ganges Delta at an elevation of only about four metres, it is bounded by the Buriganga, Turag, Dhaleshwari, and Shitalakshya rivers and ranks among the most densely populated urban areas in the world. As the largest Bengali-speaking city and a long-standing cultural and economic hub of South Asia, Dhaka supports a vast Muslim community for whom this page provides daily Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times.
Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh and the heart of Dhaka Division. Set on the Ganges Delta and ringed by the Buriganga, Turag, Dhaleshwari, and Shitalakshya rivers, it is one of the most densely populated built-up areas in the world, with a city population of nearly 8.9 million and a far larger metropolitan population. It is also the largest Bengali-speaking city anywhere, and a major cultural, economic, and scientific centre of Eastern South Asia.
Islam is deeply woven into daily life in Dhaka, and mosques are found throughout its old quarters and modern neighbourhoods alike, from the historic riverside districts to affluent areas such as Gulshan. The call to prayer is a familiar part of the city's rhythm, and the five daily prayers draw worshippers in markets, offices, and residential streets across the metropolis. Friday Jumu'ah prayers fill mosques to capacity, with congregations spilling into surrounding courtyards and streets in the busiest parts of the city.
Prayer Times in Dhaka
Dhaka observes Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) throughout the year with no daylight saving changes, so prayer times shift only with the natural movement of the seasons. At roughly 24 degrees north, the city has a moderate seasonal swing: longer summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and a slightly later Fajr. Times on this page are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is widely followed across Bangladesh and the wider subcontinent. The five daily prayers remain stable and predictable from day to day, changing only by a few minutes as sunrise and sunset gradually move.
Ramadan in Dhaka
Ramadan transforms the daily pace of Dhaka, as the city's large Muslim community fasts from Fajr to Maghrib. In the late afternoon the streets and markets fill with iftar foods, and families, neighbours, and colleagues gather to break the fast together at sunset. Mosques across the city hold nightly taraweeh prayers, with attendance growing through the month and peaking during the last ten nights.
Because Dhaka keeps Bangladesh Standard Time year-round with no daylight saving, the length of the fasting day changes only gradually with the season in which Ramadan falls. When Ramadan occurs in the longer days of summer, fasts run longer and Isha and taraweeh continue well into the evening; in the shorter days of winter, the fast ends earlier in the afternoon. Charitable meals, community iftars, and a heightened spirit of worship are visible throughout the city for the whole month.
