Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Birmingham, 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 07:27), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:57) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:19). 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 Birmingham with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Across 2026, Fajr in Birmingham moves between 02:44 and 06:37, and Maghrib between 15:56 and 21:38. The longest fasting day, dawn to sunset, is 18h 54m on 23 June; the shortest is 9h 24m on 21 December.
Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Birmingham is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. The Moonsighting Committee method then limits Fajr and Isha with its seasonal adjustment, a standard high latitude rule. How times are calculated
Waxing crescent

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

Open the qibla compass for BirminghamRamadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting.
Ramadan timetable for BirminghamBirmingham is in England and has about 1,200,000 people. Birmingham lies 1.9° west of the 0° 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. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:08.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Birmingham: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 61° above the horizon in June and only 14° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Birmingham range from just 7h 39m in December to 16h 50m in June, a difference of 9h 11m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
Birmingham has the largest Muslim population of any local authority in England and Wales. The 2021 census counted 341,811 Muslims, 29.9% of residents and 45.8% more than in 2011, ahead of Bradford (166,846), Tower Hamlets (123,912), Manchester (122,962) and Newham (122,146). The city council's census profile shows how concentrated the community is: in Small Heath 85.9% of residents are Muslim, in Alum Rock 83.7%, in Bordesley Green 80.2%, in Sparkhill 79.2% and in Sparkbrook and Balsall Heath East 77.4%. Of Birmingham's Muslims, 78% hold a UK passport, 57% were born in the UK and 26% were born in Southern Asia, which shows a community that is now mostly local-born.
The Birmingham Central Mosque in Highgate, completed in 1975, is the best known of the city's mosques. Its capacity is 6,000 including women, it has one dome and two minarets, and it is run by the Birmingham Mosque Trust. A golden dome was added in 1981, and in 1986 it received permission to broadcast the call to prayer within set limits. From 1988 to 1990 the Al-Hijrah School began in three rooms of the mosque, before moving to Small Heath. In April 2017, after a march by the English Defence League, the mosque held a tea party to promote dialogue between faiths, and it drew more people than the march.
For prayer times, Birmingham lies at 52.5 degrees north. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Birmingham lasts about 19 hours on 21 June and 9 and a half hours on 21 December. With so many mosques founded by families from South Asia, the Hanafi school is the most widely followed, and the Hanafi time for Asr is shown first for the United Kingdom. Different mosques follow different calendars for Ramadan and Eid, and each sets its own congregation times.
