About prayer times in Chennai
Today the sun is above the horizon in Chennai for 11 h 46 min. The longest day of the year is 12 h 54 min (21 June), the shortest 11 h 22 min (21 December).
If you set an alarm for Fajr, October needs it between 4:48 am and 4:50 am in Chennai. Maghrib comes between 5:43 pm and 5:59 pm.
The Fajr window today is 71 minutes long: it opens at dawn and closes at sunrise (6:00 am), so the last moment for Fajr is just before 6:00 am.
Between Asr at 4:09 pm and Maghrib at 5:46 pm lies the afternoon window. Those who pray the standard (Shafi‘i) Asr start at 3:14 pm.
Tonight: Isha 6:58 pm, Islamic midnight 11:17 pm, last third of the night from 1:08 am. Maghrib to Isha takes 72 minutes.
Jumu'ah this week falls on 23 October; Dhuhr begins at 11:54 am, and the sermon usually starts at or after that time. Across the month Maghrib shifts by 16 minutes.
Ishraq and Duha (Chasht) can be prayed once the sun has risen a little, from about 6:20 am today, until shortly before Dhuhr. Avoid voluntary prayer in the minutes right after sunrise.
A 291 km distance is enough to shift the times: Maghrib in Chennai is 11 min before Bengaluru.
Times are shown in local time, India Standard Time, which does not change during the year.
For the Qibla, turn to 287.9° from true north (WNW). A phone compass points to magnetic north, which can differ from true north by a few degrees.
Times follow the Karachi method used by University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi, with Hanafi Asr (shadow twice the object’s length) as most mosques here pray it. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, in 109 days.

Questions people ask
What time is Fajr in Chennai today?
Fajr in Chennai begins at 4:49 am today and ends at sunrise, 6:00 am.
When is Maghrib (iftar time) in Chennai?
Maghrib is at 5:46 pm today, right after sunset. In Ramadan this is iftar time.
Which calculation method is used in India?
We use Karachi (University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi), the convention most mosques in India follow. You can switch method or Asr school in Settings.
Why is my mosque's time different?
Mosques may round differently, add a few minutes of caution, or use another Fajr/Isha angle. A difference of 1–3 minutes is normal. Use "Match my mosque" in Settings to align this page with your mosque's timetable. Iqamah (congregation) times are set by each mosque and are later than the start times shown here.
Does this page track my location?
No. The times are calculated in your browser. If you tap "Near me", your position is used once on your phone to find the closest city and is never sent to us.
Times are calculated astronomically. Small differences from your mosque are normal — follow your local mosque.
