Derby Prayer Times

Finding the correct prayer times is important for Muslims living in Derby. The five daily prayers are Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, and each has its own prescribed time

Prayer times are based on the position of the sun and vary throughout the year. Our Derby prayer timetable provides an easy way to check the daily Salah times and plan your prayers.

Islamic prayer times are determined by the position of the sun. Astronomical calculations are used to establish the beginning of each prayer for a specific location such as Derby.

The position of the sun determines the beginning of each prayer period. Sunrise is important for establishing the end of Fajr, while sunset marks the beginning of Maghrib. The sun's position during the day is also used to calculate Dhuhr and Asr.

If you regularly follow a local mosque or Islamic centre, it is generally best to remain consistent with its recommended timetable.

Different Islamic organisations may use different calculation methods, particularly for Fajr and Isha. This can sometimes result in small differences between prayer timetables.

Prayer times are location-specific. Derby's geographical position affects sunrise, sunset and the position of the sun throughout the day.

This is why a prayer timetable created specifically for Derby is more useful than using timings from another city.

The Qibla is the direction towards the Kaaba in Makkah that Muslims face during Salah. From Derby, the Qibla is approximately 118° from true north, towards the east-south-east.

The exact bearing can vary slightly depending on your precise location. For the most accurate direction, use your location with a reliable Qibla compass or digital Qibla tool.

You can find the Qibla using:

If you use a phone compass, make sure it is calibrated and kept away from magnetic objects.

Muslims face the Qibla during Salah as part of the requirements of prayer. It is the direction towards the Kaaba and represents the unity of Muslims around the world in worship.
