How to Calculate the Prayer Time in Dubai 

There are a few different methods used to calculate the prayer times in Dubai and other parts of the Muslim world. The most commonly used method is the “Islamic Society of North America” (ISNA) method, which uses mathematical calculations based on the position of the sun and the location’s latitude and longitude.

Other methods include:

The “University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi” (UISK) method, which uses a combination of astronomical calculations and the opinions of Islamic scholars,

The “Egyptian General Authority of Survey” (EGAS) method, which is similar to the ISNA method but uses slightly different calculations.

The “Islamic Fiqh Council of North America” (IFCNA) method, which is based on the ISNA method but also takes into account the position of the sun at sunset.

Additionally, some Islamic organizations and mosques use the local sighting of the moon to determine the start and end of the Islamic month, which can affect the prayer times.

It’s important to note that different mosques and organizations may use different methods to calculate prayer times, so it’s best to check with the specific mosque or organization for the most accurate prayer times.

Time Between Different Mosques and Organizations

Prayer times can vary slightly between different mosques, Islamic organizations, and even between different regions within the same country. This can be due to a variety of factors such as the method of calculation used, the local sighting of the moon, or even the interpretation of Islamic teachings.

The difference in prayer times between Sunni and Shia Muslims is generally minor. Both Sunni and Shia Muslims use the Islamic calendar, which is based on the lunar cycle, to determine the prayer times. However, there can be some differences in the interpretation of certain teachings, which can lead to slight variations in the calculation of prayer times.

For example, in the Hanafi School of thought, which is followed by many Sunni Muslims, the time for the Asr prayer begins when the shadow of an object is equal to its height, whereas the Shia jurisprudence, the Asr prayer begins when the shadow of an object is twice its height plus the shadow length at noon.

It’s worth noting that, in general, the difference in prayer times between Sunni and Shia Muslims is usually only a few minutes, and both communities will perform the five daily prayers at around the same time.
