About prayer times in Kabul
Kabul lies at 34.56° N, 69.21° E. Clocks there follow Afghanistan Time (UTC+4:30, time zone Asia/Kabul) all year with no daylight saving changes, so prayer times move only gradually with the seasons. Dhuhr, which begins just after the sun passes its highest point, stays between 11:38 AM and 12:08 PM on the clock all year.
Timetables in Afghanistan are typically based on the Karachi convention, and the Hanafi school is followed by most of the population. With this method Fajr starts when the sun is 18° below the horizon before dawn, and Isha when it reaches 18° after sunset. If your mosque follows a different convention, change the method or the Asr setting above and every table on this page will update.
Over 2026, Fajr in Kabul is earliest on 13 June (2:54 AM) and latest on 3 January (5:31 AM), while Maghrib ranges from 4:42 PM to 7:10 PM. Daylight lasts from about 9h 50m around 19 December to 14h 29m around 19 June.
Ramadan 1448 AH: on the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan is expected to run from about 8 February to 8 March 2027; the actual dates depend on moon sighting and may differ by a day in Afghanistan. In Kabul, the first fast would run from Fajr at 5:21 AM to Maghrib at 5:29 PM (about 12h 08m), and by the last day from 4:50 AM to 5:55 PM (about 13h 05m). See the Ramadan guide for more.
The times on this page are the moments each prayer's time begins. On Fridays, Jumu'ah is prayed in congregation in place of Dhuhr. Mosques in Kabul usually announce their own congregation (jama'ah) times, which are set some minutes after the start times shown here.

Prayer times in Kabul: common questions
Which calculation method is used for prayer times in Kabul?
By default this page uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 18°) with the Hanafi Asr time. Timetables in Afghanistan are typically based on the Karachi convention, and the Hanafi school is followed by most of the population. You can change both settings at the top of the page.
What is the Qibla direction from Kabul?
From Kabul, the Qibla is 250.8° clockwise from true north, roughly west-southwest. The Kaaba in Makkah is about 3,217 km (1,999 miles) away along the shortest route over the Earth's surface.
How long is the Ramadan fast in Kabul in 2027?
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on or around 8 February 2027 according to the Umm al-Qura calendar (the actual start depends on moon sighting and may differ by a day). In Kabul, the fast from Fajr to Maghrib would last about 12h 08m on the first day and about 13h 05m by the last day.
Why might these times differ from my local mosque in Kabul?
Mosques may use a different calculation method, a different Asr convention, their own safety margins of a few minutes, or local observation. The times here are the astronomical start times; congregation (jama'ah) times are usually set later by each mosque.
