How prayer times vary across Turkey
On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Fajr begins earliest in Gaziantep (5:24 AM) and latest in Izmir (6:05 AM), a spread of 41 minutes on the clock. Maghrib, when the fast is opened in Ramadan, runs from 5:43 PM in Gaziantep to 6:22 PM in Izmir. All of these cities share one time zone, so the differences come only from where each city lies.
Calculation method used in Turkey
The Diyanet (Presidency of Religious Affairs) method, with its fixed safety adjustments, is the official convention in Turkey. Diyanet's published Asr (ikindi) time uses the earlier, standard shadow length, so that is the default here; many Hanafi worshippers in Turkey prefer the later Hanafi Asr, which you can switch to in the page settings.
- Method: Diyanet (Turkey), with Fajr at 18° and Isha at 17°.
- Asr: Standard (Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali). Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its length (plus its noon shadow).
- How every method works is explained on our sources and methods page.
