Below is today's complete salah timetable for Nottingham. Prayer times vary slightly depending on your location within the city and the calculation method used. The times listed follow the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) standard, which is widely used across UK mosques and Islamic centres.

Prayer times in Nottingham change daily throughout the year due to the Earth's rotation and seasonal variations. During spring and summer months, Fajr times become earlier and Isha times become later, while autumn and winter see the opposite effect. A comprehensive monthly timetable helps you plan your worship schedule in advance and ensures you never miss a prayer.

Many Nottingham mosques and Islamic centres provide downloadable annual prayer timetables showing accurate salah start times for every day of the year. These resources are invaluable for those who wish to maintain consistency in their daily worship routine and coordinate with work, school, and family commitments.

Jummah is one of the most important congregational prayers in Islam, and Nottingham has several established mosques offering Friday services. The main Jummah times across Nottingham typically fall between 12:15 PM and 1:30 PM, with many centres offering multiple congregations to accommodate the large number of worshippers.

Major Islamic centres in Nottingham include Masjid Karimia in Forest Fields, Masjid Ibrahim in Wollaton, and Masjid Ash-Shifa in Bobbersmill, all offering first and second Jummah congregations. The Islamic Centre Nottingham on Curzon Street also provides Jummah services with Iqamah at 1:00 PM. It is recommended to arrive early, as Friday prayers attract large congregations and spaces fill quickly.

Prayer times are calculated using astronomical data specific to Nottingham's latitude (52.95°N) and longitude (-1.15°W). The ISNA method is the most commonly used calculation standard in the United Kingdom, providing reliable and consistent prayer times for Muslim communities. This method determines prayer times based on the sun's position relative to the horizon throughout the day.

Fajr prayer begins when the sun is 15 degrees below the horizon, while Isha begins when the sun is 15 degrees below the horizon in the evening. Asr time can be calculated using either the Hanafi or Shafi'i method, with the Hanafi method typically resulting in later Asr times. The Muslim World League method is also recognised and used by some communities. Our calculations are updated daily to reflect seasonal changes and ensure maximum accuracy for Nottingham worshippers.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn (Sehri) until sunset (Iftar). Sehri must be completed before Fajr prayer begins, while Iftar is taken immediately after Maghrib. In Nottingham, Ramadan fasting times vary significantly depending on the time of year, with summer Ramadans requiring much longer fasting periods due to extended daylight hours.

Many Nottingham mosques organise community Iftar meals and Taraweeh prayers throughout Ramadan, providing opportunities for Muslims to worship together and strengthen community bonds. Accurate Sehri and Iftar times are essential for maintaining the spiritual discipline of fasting, and our daily updates ensure you have the correct timings for your location in Nottinghamshire.

Why do prayer times vary between different sources?

Prayer times can vary slightly between sources due to different calculation methods (ISNA, Muslim World League, Karachi, etc.) and the specific latitude and longitude used for calculations. Additionally, some sources may use different twilight angles for Fajr and Isha prayers. The differences are typically only a few minutes, but choosing a consistent source ensures reliability in your daily worship routine.

Which calculation method do you use for Nottingham prayer times?

We use the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) method, which is the most widely adopted standard across UK mosques and Islamic centres. This method uses 15 degrees below the horizon for both Fajr and Isha calculations. We also provide options for the Hanafi Asr variant, which calculates Asr time differently than the Shafi'i method, allowing worshippers to choose according to their school of Islamic jurisprudence.

How accurate are these prayer times for Nottingham?

Our prayer times are calculated using precise astronomical data for Nottingham's exact coordinates and are updated daily. Accuracy is typically within 1-2 minutes of the actual prayer time. However, local factors such as buildings, trees, and terrain can affect when you personally observe sunrise or sunset, so slight variations may occur depending on your specific location within Nottinghamshire.

When does Ramadan start in Nottingham?

Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon (Hilal) and is confirmed by Islamic authorities. The exact date varies each year as the Islamic calendar is lunar-based. In 2026, Ramadan is expected to begin in late February or early March, but the precise date will be announced by the UK Islamic authorities following the official moon sighting. Nottingham mosques will announce the confirmed start date once it is verified.

What is the difference between Hanafi and Shafi'i Asr times?

The Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence calculates Asr time when the shadow of an object equals the object's length plus its noon shadow. The Shafi'i method calculates Asr when the shadow equals twice the object's length plus its noon shadow. This results in the Hanafi Asr time being later than the Shafi'i time, typically by 30-60 minutes depending on the season. Worshippers should follow the method of their chosen school of jurisprudence or their local mosque's practice.

Are prayer times the same across Nottinghamshire, including areas like Maidenhead, Chatham, and Stourbridge?

Prayer times vary based on geographical location. While Nottingham city centre serves as the reference point for this timetable, nearby areas such as Maidenhead, Chatham, and Stourbridge have slightly different prayer times due to their different latitudes and longitudes. For accurate Namaz times in these locations, you should consult prayer time calculators specific to those areas. However, the differences are typically only 5-15 minutes, and most local mosques in these regions provide their own updated prayer schedules.

What is Maghrib time and why is it important?

Maghrib is the fourth of the five daily prayers and begins at sunset. In Nottingham, Maghrib time is currently around 8:13 PM and changes daily throughout the year. This prayer marks the end of the fasting day during Ramadan and is one of the most significant prayer times in the Islamic calendar. Maghrib time in Nottingham varies considerably between seasons, with summer Maghrib times being as late as 9:00 PM or later, while winter times may be as early as 4:30 PM.
