Prayer times for Rawalpindi
These namaz timings are calculated for Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan, at 33.5651° N, 73.0169° E. Rawalpindi keeps Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5; time zone Asia/Karachi), and Pakistan does not currently change its clocks in summer. Times are worked out on your phone for each date with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr and Isha at 18° below the horizon) and Hanafi Asr, the school followed by most Muslims in Pakistan.
Because Rawalpindi lies 2.0° west of the 75.0° E meridian on which PKT is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 8 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:08 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 11 June (3:14 AM) and latest around 7 January (5:45 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:00 PM in November and 7:22 PM in June. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 16 h 07 min in June and the shortest about 11 h 25 min in December. Being far north, it sees a wide swing between short winter days and long summer days.
Rawalpindi is Islamabad's twin city; the two lie so close that their prayer times usually match to within a minute. For jama'at, follow your local masjid's timetable.
