Ramadan timetable for KarachiKarachi, the Sun and the clock
Karachi is the main city of Sindh, home to about 12,000,000 people. Karachi lies 8° west of the 75° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 32 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:32, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Karachi: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 89° above the horizon in June and only 42° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Karachi range from 10h 35m in December to 13h 41m in June, a difference of 3h 6m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
The Muslim community in Karachi
Karachi City recorded 18,189,474 Muslims in the 2023 census, about 96.5% of its residents, with Christians at roughly 2.1% and Hindus at roughly 1.1%. The 2023 mother-tongue figures for the wider Karachi Division show how many parts of the country are represented: Urdu 50.6%, Pashto 13.5%, Sindhi 11.1%, Punjabi 8.1%, Balochi 4.0% and Saraiki 3.7%. The religious make-up changed sharply around independence: one reference gives Muslims as 42% of the city in 1941 and 96% in 1951. Wikipedia also states, without giving a year, that about 73% of the city's Muslims are Sunni and 27% Shia, and it names the Memon, Bohra and Khoja groups among the Gujarati Muslims.
The community's institutions reflect these groups. Ismaili traders are recorded in Kharadar, the old core of the city, from the 16th and 17th centuries. After a famine in Kutch in 1820, 250 Ismaili families settled there and built their first house of worship in Kagzi Bazar in 1825. The Kharadar Jamatkhana is still one of the largest of the Nizari Ismaili community, and the Khoja Isna Ashri Masjid in the same district serves Shia worshippers. The New Memon Masjid, also in Kharadar, had its first committee on 17 September 1948, heard its first adhan on 15 July 1949, and had its foundation stone laid on 24 August 1949 by Governor General Khawaja Nazimuddin; a survey put its capacity at 10,000. The Tooba Mosque in Defence Housing Authority Phase II was built between 1966 and 1969 to a design by Babar Hameed Chauhan, with a single 65 metre dome over a hall without pillars and room for up to 5,000 people. Jamia Binoria, a Hanafi and Deobandi seminary founded by Mufti Muhammad Naeem in 1978 or 1979 (the article gives both), lists about 8,000 students.
For prayer times, Karachi lies at about 24.9 degrees north and keeps Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Karachi lasts about 15 hours on 21 June and 12 hours on 21 December. Shia communities follow separate times, which this site publishes on its Jafaria pages, and congregation times are set by each mosque.
