Rawalpindi is a major metropolis in Pakistan's Punjab province and the administrative seat of Rawalpindi District. Known locally as Pindi, it ranks as the third-largest city in Punjab and the fourth-most populous city in Pakistan, with a population of around 2.1 million. The city lies in north-western Punjab along the Soan River, at an elevation of roughly 508 metres above sea level.
Rawalpindi is closely tied to the adjacent national capital, Islamabad, and together the two form a continuous urban area often called the twin cities. This proximity makes Rawalpindi a key commercial, transport, and population centre in northern Pakistan, serving residents and visitors who move between the two cities daily.
Prayer Times in Rawalpindi
Rawalpindi observes Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) year-round with no daylight saving, so the daily prayer schedule shifts only with the seasons rather than with any clock change. At roughly 33.6 degrees north, the city sees a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times shown here are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is widely followed across Pakistan.
Ramadan in Rawalpindi
During Ramadan, Rawalpindi's Muslim community observes the daily fast from Fajr until Maghrib, with Suhoor taken before dawn and Iftar at sunset. Because the city keeps Pakistan Standard Time year-round with no daylight saving, the timing of Suhoor and Iftar follows only the natural movement of dawn and sunset through the month.
When Ramadan falls in summer, the long days at this northern latitude mean an early Suhoor and a later Iftar, lengthening the fasting day; when it falls in winter, shorter days bring an earlier Iftar and a more compact schedule. Throughout the month, the daily Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha times on this page can help residents plan Suhoor, Iftar, and Taraweeh prayers.
