On October 12, 2025 a prayer or Namaz five times was performed by muslims of Pakistan, on fixed time from the sun. Again, these vary by city, but a typical schedule can be referenced here: Fajr 04:48 AM Dhuhr 11:54 AM Asr mid-afternoon Maghrib at 17:38 PM Isha around 19:01 PM. The times are only a rough guide because they vary greatly depending on work schedules, local mosques or published timetables in your area.
Approximate Prayer Times Across Pakistan
According to the most used prayer-time tables for Islamabad and northern areas; prayers scheduled on 12 October 2025 will be as under.
- Fajr (dawn): ~ 04:48 AM
- Sunrise / Shuruq: ~ 06:10 AM

In further southern cities, such as Karachi, timings do vary slightly. For instance, the Karachi calendar states 05:14 AM for Fajr’s mindful lay until 12:22 PM for Dhuhr, from 16:32 PM until Asr’s end at Maghrib (18:10), and from Maghrib onwards to Isha which ends at 19:26 on 12 Oct. These differences are attributed to local variations in latitude, altitude and hours of daylight across Pakistan.
Why Localized Times Matter
There are no standard prayer times in Islam as the five daily prayers and sun position determine when a Muslim should pray. If we are on a different latitude, elevation or atmospheric refraction is a little bit different, the beginning or end of the prayer window can change minutes. A lot of mosques, Islamic centers or online services subscribe to city-specific timetables to keep the general populace in sync with accurate observance.
If referring to a national or regional timetable for any times, always verify against a reliable local source. This is to ensure common errors made while observing the prayers at specified time windows are avoided.
