Today's Prayer Times - 19 July 2026
Prayer Times in Mumbai — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib & Isha Namaz Timings
Mumbai is home to one of the largest and most diverse Muslim populations in India — from the narrow lanes of Bhendi Bazaar and Mohammed Ali Road to the mosques of Mahim, Kurla, and Mira Road. With such a sprawling, coastal city, getting accurate Prayer Times in Mumbai matters more than it might seem: Mumbai’s location right on the Arabian Sea, combined with its humid, often overcast weather, means visually judging sunset or dawn isn’t always reliable. A properly calculated, location-specific Islamic prayer times table takes the guesswork out of it completely, which is exactly why this page exists — to give the city’s Muslim prayer times community accurate, daily-updated timings they can trust.
Today’s Namaz Timings in Mumbai
The live widget above shows accurate Prayer Times in Mumbai for today — the exact Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha timings, recalculated fresh every single day based on the sun’s real position over the city, not an outdated printed chart.
Because Mumbai sits close to sea level at around 19° North latitude, its prayer times move through a fairly wide seasonal range across the year:
- Fajr in Mumbai generally falls between 4:40 AM in summer and 5:50 AM in winter.
- Dhuhr in Mumbai stays fairly stable, usually starting between 12:15 PM and 1:00 PM.
- Asr in Mumbai typically falls somewhere between 3:30 PM and 4:45 PM, depending on the time of year.
- Maghrib in Mumbai follows sunset directly — as early as 6:00 PM in December and as late as 7:20 PM in June.
- Isha in Mumbai usually begins 75–90 minutes after Maghrib, commonly landing between 7:30 PM and 8:45 PM.
Because Mumbai spans a large area — from Colaba in the south to Mira-Bhayandar and Thane in the north — there can be a minute or two of natural variation between neighbourhoods. For everyday purposes, though, the timings above apply reliably across the whole Mumbai metropolitan regio.
How Prayer Times in Mumbai Are Calculated
These timings are never arbitrary — like all Islamic prayer times, every timing is tied to the sun’s exact position relative to Mumbai’s coordinates. Fajr begins once the sun reaches a specific number of degrees below the horizon before sunrise; Isha begins once the same threshold is crossed after sunset. Most mosques across Maharashtra and the wider Indian subcontinent follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which sets this threshold at 18° for both Fajr and Isha — the same standard used across Pakistan, Bangladesh, and much of India.
Dhuhr begins the moment the sun crosses its highest point in the sky (solar noon), Asr is worked out from the length of an object’s shadow, and Maghrib begins the instant the sun fully sets below the horizon. Because Mumbai’s coastal position affects horizon visibility, especially during the monsoon months (June to September) when cloud cover is heavy, relying on a calculated timetable — rather than watching for the sun yourself — is far more dependable.
Mumbai’s Muslim Community and Its Mosques
Mumbai’s Muslim community is one of the most historically layered in India, with Sunni, Shia, and Bohra congregations each maintaining their own network of mosques and prayer spaces across the city. Landmark mosques such as the Haji Ali Dargah, Jama Masjid near Crawford Market, and dozens of smaller neighbourhood masajid in areas like Bandra, Byculla, Nagpada, and Govandi all rely on precise, daily Muslim prayer times calculations to set their Adhan and congregational Jamaat times.
For the city’s large working population — many commuting long distances by local train — knowing the exact Dhuhr and Asr windows in advance helps in planning prayer breaks around office hours, while Maghrib often marks the moment commuters begin heading home.
Jumu’ah (Friday Prayer) in Mumbai
Jumu’ah replaces the Dhuhr prayer every Friday and is obligatory for adult Muslim men who are able to attend. Across Mumbai’s mosques, Jumu’ah is typically held between 12:30 PM and 1:45 PM, though the exact start time can differ slightly from mosque to mosque depending on local scheduling. It’s always worth confirming directly with your neighbourhood masjid, especially during the shorter daylight months.
Ramadan Prayer Times in Mumbai
During Ramadan, Prayer Times in Mumbai get extra attention from the city’s Muslims, especially two Islamic prayer times: Fajr, which marks the start of the fast (Suhoor cut-off), and Maghrib, which marks Iftar. Since Mumbai’s Maghrib time shifts across the month depending on when Ramadan falls in the Islamic calendar year, checking a daily-updated Ramadan calendar — rather than a single fixed time for the whole month — is the safest way to avoid ending your fast too early or too late.
