    Night prayer

Asr by the Hanafi method (shadow = twice the object’s length plus its midday shadow): 16:55.

Calculated and checked: on all 221 days of 2026 outside Diyanet’s summer period, our six times for Dortmund are within 3 minutes of Aladhan, an independently written calculator run with the same settings, and on 222 days of 2027 within 3 minutes of Diyanet’s published yearly timetable. Checked on 11 October 2026.

Each time marks the start of a prayer’s window: broadly, Fajr lasts until sunrise (07:42 today), Dhuhr until Asr begins, Asr until sunset and Maghrib until Isha. If you are new to praying in Germany, expect the times to move quickly: this month Maghrib in Dortmund shifts by up to 3 min and Fajr by up to 2 min from one day to the next, far more than near the equator, so check the table rather than last week’s times.

Friday prayer (Jumu’ah) in Dortmund

Jumu’ah replaces Dhuhr on Fridays and falls in the Dhuhr window. On Friday, 16 October 2026 that window opens at 13:21. Each mosque sets its own time for the sermon (khutbah), often a fixed time all year or a time that changes with the clock change, so ask your mosque or check its website.

Calculated times, not a mosque timetable

Mosques in Dortmund publish their own timetables, and for congregational prayer the mosque’s time is the one that counts. Ours are calculated for the city centre with settings that match the published Diyanet tables for Germany (see how the times are calculated).

Clock change: on Sunday, 25 October 2026 the clocks go back to winter time (CET, UTC+1). From that day every prayer time is one hour earlier on the clock; the tables already show local time.

Short summer nights in Dortmund

Dortmund lies at 51.5° north. In 2026 the longest day here has 16 h 53 min of daylight and the shortest only 8 h 4 min, so Fajr and Isha swing much more over the year than in Turkey, North Africa or South Asia. Around midsummer the sky never gets fully dark: from 9 May to 2 August the sun does not sink far enough below the horizon, and Fajr and Isha are set by a night rule instead (marked * in the table). From 11 April to 1 September Diyanet also switches to its own summer rule for Fajr and Isha, which we cannot reproduce; on those days (marked °) its published Fajr can be up to about 55 minutes later and its Isha up to about 50 minutes earlier than ours. If your mosque follows the Diyanet calendar, use its timetable for those weeks.

Qibla direction from Dortmund

The Qibla from Dortmund is 128° from true north, measured clockwise: roughly south-east. The Kaaba in Makkah is about 4,356 km away along the shortest path over the globe. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Germany is currently only a few degrees from true north, so the difference hardly matters when you set up a prayer mat.

Mosques in Dortmund

Our data lists 28 mosques and Islamic centres in Dortmund (North Rhine-Westphalia), taken from OpenStreetMap; small prayer rooms are often missing there. Where an entry names a website, it is shown: that is the best place to find the mosque’s own prayer and Jumu’ah times.

Prayer times in nearby cities

Today’s times in the five closest larger cities (50,000+ inhabitants) that have their own page. The sun moves about one degree of longitude every four minutes, so cities further east pray earlier: 3 of these five have an earlier Dhuhr than Dortmund. “Dhuhr ±” is the difference to Dortmund in minutes.

How the times are calculated

The times are calculated from the position of the sun over the centre of Dortmund (51.51° N, 7.47° E, from OpenStreetMap), not copied from any timetable. By default we use settings that match the tables Diyanet (Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs) publishes for German cities: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, Isha at 16.15°, plus the minute offsets found in those tables (sunrise −7, Dhuhr +5, Asr +4, Maghrib +7 minutes). Asr uses the majority rule (shadow equal to the object’s length plus its midday shadow); the Hanafi time (twice the length) is shown as well.

Before a city gets a page, we compare its times for a whole year with the Aladhan API, an independently written calculator, run with the same settings, and for the largest cities also with Diyanet’s own published yearly table; only cities that stay within 3 minutes on every day outside the summer weeks described above are published. For Dortmund the largest difference was 3 minutes from Aladhan and 3 from Diyanet. Aladhan’s Asr follows a slightly different seasonal pattern than ours (up to 2 to 3 minutes apart), while the other five agree within a minute. Many apps use the Muslim World League method instead (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°, no offsets). Here are both for today:
