Today's Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times for Doha, Qatar — calculated live on your device, with the Qibla direction and Hijri date.
From Doha, face 252.6° (measured clockwise from true north) to pray towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which is about 1,269 km away in a straight line. A phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit a few degrees away from true north, so for the most accurate line use the bearing with a map or a compass corrected for magnetic declination. For a live compass dial, open the Qibla Direction tool.
Doha is in Qatar. The times on this page are calculated for the city centre at 25.2854° N, 51.5310° E, and are shown in Doha's own timezone — Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3) (Asia/Qatar) — wherever in the world you open the page. Areas across a large city can differ from the centre by a minute or so, and a masjid timetable may add precautionary minutes on top of the calculated times.
The defaults are the ones used across the Loona Islamic Tools site: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°) with Hanafi Asr. If your local authority uses a different method, the main Prayer Times tool lets you switch between Karachi, ISNA, Muslim World League, Egyptian and Umm al-Qura methods, choose Shafi Asr instead, or enter exact coordinates for a village or a specific neighbourhood. For a whole month at a glance, see the Monthly Prayer Timetable.
Every time on this page is calculated, not copied from a printed table. The built-in prayer engine takes Doha's latitude and longitude plus the date, and works out the sun's path for that day: Dhuhr is the moment the sun reaches its highest point (solar noon), Sunrise and Maghrib are when the sun sits 0.833° below the horizon, Fajr and Isha are when it reaches the twilight angle of the method — 18° below the horizon for the Karachi default — and Asr is found from the shadow factor of the school (2 for Hanafi, 1 for Shafi). Where summer twilight never fully ends at far-northern latitudes, an angle-based rule caps Fajr and Isha at a share of the night. The Hijri date is read from the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser. All of it runs in your browser; nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
For Monday 9 November 2026 in Doha, the page shows Fajr 4:28 AM, Sunrise 5:47 AM, Dhuhr 11:18 AM, Asr 3:12 PM, Maghrib 4:48 PM and Isha 6:07 PM - Karachi method, Hanafi Asr. Open the page during the day and the next upcoming prayer is highlighted, with a line underneath naming the method and Asr school in use.
This page uses the Loona Islamic Tools default: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18 degrees, Isha 18 degrees) with Hanafi Asr. Qatar's official prayer calendar is issued by the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) and can differ from the times on this page by a few minutes. To use a different method - ISNA, Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority or Umm al-Qura - open the main Prayer Times tool and change the method there.
Hanafi. The Hanafi school starts Asr when an object's shadow is twice its length plus its noon shadow (factor 2), which is the later of the two common Asr times. The Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools use factor 1, giving an earlier Asr. If you follow the Shafi school, open the main Prayer Times tool and switch the Asr setting to Shafi.
The Qibla bearing from Doha is 252.6 degrees clockwise from true north, and the straight-line distance to the Kaaba in Makkah is about 1,269 km. It is the initial bearing of the great-circle (shortest) path to the Kaaba at 21.4225 N, 39.8262 E.
Three reasons cover almost every difference: the masjid may use a different calculation method or twilight angles (see the first question), it may add precautionary minutes to the calculated times, and these times are computed for the city-centre coordinates, while your neighbourhood can sit a minute or so either side. Matching the method and Asr school removes nearly all of the gap.
They are calculated fresh on your device from the sun's position for Doha's coordinates (25.2854° N, 51.5310° E) on the date shown - not copied from a printed table. Dhuhr is solar noon, Sunrise and Maghrib are when the sun is 0.833 degrees below the horizon, Fajr and Isha use the Karachi twilight angle of 18 degrees, and Asr uses the Hanafi shadow factor of 2. The Hijri date shown uses the Umm al-Qura calendar; a local moon-sighting announcement can differ from it by a day.
