Each mosque sets its own khutbah and iqamah time, so confirm with your local masjid.
Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Islamabad, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.
Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:39), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:53) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:06). The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.
The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Islamabad with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Across 2026, Fajr in Islamabad moves between 03:13 and 05:45, and Maghrib between 16:59 and 19:22. The longest fasting day, dawn to sunset, is 16h 08m on 18 June; the shortest is 11h 24m on 17 December.
Islamabad does not change its clocks; times stay on Asia/Karachi all year. How times are calculated

A Hijri month has 29 or 30 days; its last day depends on the next crescent. Phases are calculated for each evening.

Ramadan timetable for IslamabadIslamabad is the capital, home to about 600,000 people. The nearest larger city is Rawalpindi, 14 km to the south. Islamabad lies 2° west of the 75° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 8 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:08, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Islamabad: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 80° above the horizon in June and only 33° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Islamabad range from 9h 55m in December to 14h 24m in June, a difference of 4h 29m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
The Faisal Mosque is the national mosque of Pakistan and the focus of Islamabad's skyline, at the north end of Faisal Avenue at the foot of the Margalla Hills. It is named after King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who reigned from 1964 to 1975, and was paid for by the Saudi government, at a cost reported as 28 million dollars or over 130 million riyals. King Khalid laid the foundation stone in October 1976, building was completed in 1986 and the first prayer was held on 18 June 1988.
Its design broke with tradition. The Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay won an international competition with a mosque that has no conventional dome and an eight-sided main hall that resembles a Bedouin tent. It has four minarets of 90 metres, said to be the tallest in South Asia. The mosque can hold about 300,000 worshippers in total, with up to 74,000 in the main areas and 200,000 in the grounds on a site of 130,000 square metres. It is the sixth-largest mosque in the world by capacity, and it was the largest from 1986 until 1993.
Islamabad is also the capital where Pakistan's religious bodies meet: the Council of Islamic Ideology, created by the 1973 Constitution, advises the state on whether laws agree with Islam. For prayer times, Islamabad lies at 33.7 degrees north in the foothills, and Pakistan keeps UTC+5 all year. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Islamabad lasts about 16 hours on 21 June and 11 and a half hours on 21 December. Most mosques use the Karachi method with the Hanafi Asr, and the start of Ramadan and Eid is announced by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which in 2026 met in Peshawar, not in the capital. Congregation times are set by each mosque.
