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 Manchester, 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 07:33), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:58) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:17). 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 Manchester with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Across 2026, Fajr in Manchester moves between 02:38 and 06:43, and Maghrib between 15:52 and 21:45. The longest fasting day, dawn to sunset, is 19h 07m on 20 June; the shortest is 9h 14m on 18 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. Manchester 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 ManchesterRamadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting.
Ramadan timetable for ManchesterManchester is in England and has about 570,000 people. Manchester lies 2.2° west of the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 9 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:09, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:09.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Manchester: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 60° above the horizon in June and only 13° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Manchester range from just 7h 28m in December to 17h 2m in June, a difference of 9h 34m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
At the 2021 census 122,962 residents of the City of Manchester described themselves as Muslim, about 22.3% of its 551,938 people and the second-largest religious group after Christians (199,873), with 179,037 people reporting no religion. The wider county is where the growth is most visible: in Greater Manchester the number of people answering 'Muslim' rose from 232,790 in 2011 to 373,875 in 2021. The community is concentrated in the south of the city, around Rusholme and the Curry Mile, Longsight and Victoria Park.
The Manchester Central Mosque, also known as the Victoria Park Mosque, stands in the middle of Victoria Park close to the Curry Mile. In 1971 the Jamiat-ul-Muslimeen began work on a purpose-built mosque, the two houses on the site were demolished, and the building has been expanded and altered several times since. The mosque follows the Barelvi tradition of the Indian subcontinent and plays a key role in Manchester's Muslim community. It held an anti-hate vigil in 2017 after the attack on a London mosque, and its imams have led the taraweeh prayers in Ramadan.
For prayer times, Manchester lies at 53.5 degrees north. In midsummer the sun sets at about 9:40 pm and twilight lasts almost through the night, so Fajr and Isha are calculated with a high-latitude rule. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Manchester lasts about 19 hours on 21 June and 9 hours on 21 December. Most mosques in the city follow the Hanafi school, and the Hanafi Asr time is shown first for the United Kingdom. Neighbouring mosques may follow different calendars for the start of Ramadan and Eid, and each sets its own congregation times.
