About Liverpool Prayer Times
Liverpool Prayer Times gives the prayer times for Liverpool, worked out for the city itself, every day of the year. It is part of the Muslims Around the World network.
Who runs it
Liverpool Prayer Times is one of a family of Islamic websites made by Muslims Around the World. Each does one job well: a city’s prayer times, a Ramadan timetable, a surah, a dua. Every one is on the Muslims Around the World sites page.
Muslims Around the World is protecting the legacy of Ali Banat, may Allah have mercy on him, and every site in the family is part of that work. Read his story.
You can learn more with us at Muslims Around the World: short reminders from scholars, duas with their meaning, Quran recitations and prayer times.
The site is free, has no third-party adverts and needs no account.
How the times are worked out
- Place
- Central Liverpool, 53.4072° N, 2.9917° W, from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors)
- Clocks
- UK time (Europe/London), with British Summer Time
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee: Fajr and Isha at 18° with seasonal limits; a seventh of the night from 55° north. The same method muslimsaroundtheworld.org uses here
- Asr
- Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) (switch to Hanafi on any timetable)
- Short summer nights
- When the sun doesn't get low enough for the angle, Fajr and Isha follow the Moonsighting Committee’s seasonal rule: a limit before sunrise for Fajr, and after sunset for Isha, worked out from the city’s latitude and the time of year
- Hijri dates
- The Umm al-Qura calendar; UK moon-sighting announcements can be a day later
- Calculation
- An open-source astronomical calculation (the adhan library by Batoul Apps, MIT licence) works out where the sun is over Liverpool each day; times are rounded to the minute
- Areas
- Area names and positions: GeoNames (geonames.org), CC BY 4.0. Each area’s times are worked out for its own position
- Mosques
- Jamaat times are often a few minutes after these start times, and some mosques use another method for Fajr and Isha. For congregation, follow your mosque
Why a Liverpool timetable
Liverpool sits too far west for a London timetable. One printed for the capital runs early by 11 or 12 minutes at Zuhr all year, by up to 23 minutes at Maghrib in early June, and by about 22 minutes at sunrise in midwinter. This site works every figure out for Liverpool itself, so there is nothing left to correct.

Our method for Liverpool
- Where. Central Liverpool, 53.407° N, 2.992° W, as OpenStreetMap places it.
- Dawn and nightfall. Fajr and Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon (the Moonsighting Committee method), never earlier for Fajr, or later for Isha, than its seasonal limits for 53.4° N.
- Summer. From about mid-May to the end of July those limits set Fajr and Isha on their own.
- Zuhr, Asr and Maghrib. Five minutes after solar noon; the standard or Hanafi shadow length; three minutes after sunset.
- Clock. UK time, British Summer Time included, to the nearest minute.
