The QuranBookk Prayer Times tool gives you precise, GPS-based prayer times for wherever you are right now. But there are dozens of real situations where you need prayer times for a location other than your current one.
The Global Prayer Times directory was built for exactly these situations — covering every country, state, and city worldwide with accurate, daily-updated prayer times.
1. Travel preparation. You board a flight on Sunday and land in a new city Monday morning. Fajr on Monday in that city — do you know when it is? The worldwide directory lets you look it up before you leave home.
2. Ramadan planning in a new city. Every minute of Suhoor and every second of Iftar matters during Ramadan. A Muslim moving to a new city for the month needs the Fajr and Maghrib times for that specific location, not approximations.
3. Supporting family abroad. If your parents are in Karachi and you are in Toronto, coordinating a call during their Iftar requires knowing their Maghrib time. The directory makes this immediate.
4. Muslim students abroad. A student at a university in a new country needs the local prayer times from their first day — not after a week of figuring out apps.
5. Setting workplace prayer schedules. An HR professional or Muslim employee representative needs accurate prayer times for the city where the office is located, to arrange accommodations for fasting colleagues.
6. Khutbah and event scheduling. Any Islamic event, lecture, or gathering that crosses prayer times needs to be planned around them — and the worldwide directory gives the organizer the exact times for their city.
7. Community sharing. Mosque administrators and Islamic organizations serve communities across multiple cities. Looking up prayer times for each city they cover, rather than only their own GPS location, requires a directory.
8. Journalists, researchers, and educators. Writing or teaching about fasting hours in different latitudes — the classic comparison of Ramadan in Reykjavik vs. Kuala Lumpur — requires accurate city-specific data.
One of the most striking facts about global prayer times is how dramatically the duration between Fajr and Maghrib — the fasting window during Ramadan — varies by latitude:
| City | Approximate Ramadan Fasting Hours |
|---|---|
| Reykjavik, Iceland | 17–21 hours (summer Ramadan) |
| Helsinki, Finland | 16–19 hours |
| London, UK | 14–17 hours |
A Muslim fasting in Reykjavik during a summer Ramadan fasts nearly twice as long per day as one in Kuala Lumpur. This variation is not widely discussed, but it has profound practical implications for meal planning, work schedules, and physical endurance. The Global Prayer Times directory makes these differences immediately visible and verifiable for any city.
The directory is organized by Country → State/Province → City, allowing you to drill down from the country level to a specific city. Each city page shows:
For complete preparation when travelling or relocating, the Global Prayer Times directory works alongside the Global Qibla Directions tool — which gives you the Qibla bearing for any city in the same hierarchical structure. Know both the direction and the timing before you arrive.
For the Islamic calendar context — understanding which Hijri dates and Islamic events fall during your planned travel period — the Global Hijri Calendars directory covers the same geographic depth with Hijri calendar data for every city.
For the prayer times at your current location updated in real time by GPS, the Prayer Times tool remains the most accurate option.
The Global Prayer Times directory requires no account, no app, and no subscription. It is accessible from any browser worldwide — the same zero-friction access standard as every QuranBookk feature.
