Peshawar is the capital and largest city of the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and one of the country's most populous cities, home to over 1.9 million people. It lies in the northwest of Pakistan within the Valley of Peshawar, a broad plain situated just east of the historic Khyber Pass, at an elevation of about 359 metres above sea level.
Its position near the Khyber Pass has long made Peshawar a gateway between South and Central Asia, shaping it into a major regional centre of trade and culture. As the administrative seat of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the city anchors a large urban Muslim community for whom daily prayer is part of the rhythm of life, supported by mosques throughout its many neighbourhoods.
Prayer Times in Peshawar
Peshawar observes Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At roughly 34 degrees north the seasonal swing is noticeable: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon. Times on this page are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is widely used across Pakistan.
Ramadan in Peshawar
During Ramadan, the timing of the daily fast in Peshawar follows the local Fajr and Maghrib times, with Suhoor ending at dawn before Fajr and Iftar beginning at sunset with Maghrib. Because the city does not observe daylight saving time, the length of the fasting day is determined purely by the season in which Ramadan falls.
When Ramadan occurs in summer, Peshawar's position at roughly 34 degrees north means long daylight hours and a correspondingly longer fast, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter days and an earlier Iftar. Many mosques across the city hold Taraweeh prayers after Isha, and worshippers can use this page's daily timetable to plan Suhoor and Iftar around the accurate Fajr and Maghrib times.
