Antwerpprayer times

The Asr time above follows the standard (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali) opinion. Following the Hanafi opinion, Asr in Antwerp today begins at 18:18 — the difference is the shadow ratio each school uses, not a difference in accuracy.

For how each of these moments is defined astronomically, see how prayer times are calculated.

Every day of September 2026 for Antwerp. Today's row is highlighted; the Asr column is split into standard and Hanafi; the last column is the gap between Fajr and Maghrib — the length of the fast if you are fasting that day.

Facing the Kaaba from Antwerp means turning to approximately 123.9 degrees clockwise from true north — roughly south-east. A phone compass points to magnetic north, which in Western Europe differs from true north by a couple of degrees, so that offset has to be corrected. See how to find the qibla for methods that work without a compass.

At 51.2° latitude, Antwerp sees a wide swing between summer and winter — which is exactly what makes planning suhoor and iftar here harder than in lower latitudes. These values are computed astronomically from the city's coordinates and may differ from a mosque timetable by a few minutes.

The gap between Maghrib and Isha stretches noticeably in Antwerp during summer, because the twilight lingers far longer than it does at lower latitudes. That is astronomy, not a calculation error.

In 2026, Belgium moves to summer time on 29 March 2026 and returns to standard time on 25 October 2026. On those two mornings every prayer time on this page shifts by an hour on the clock — Fajr in particular can jump from a comfortable hour to an uncomfortable one overnight.

Nothing changes astronomically: the sun keeps the same schedule, only the clock is redefined. Because these times are calculated in Europe/Brussels rather than a fixed UTC offset, the transition is handled automatically. This is one of the differences between Belgium and Türkiye, which abolished seasonal clock changes in 2016.

Prayer times follow the sun, so they differ from city to city even inside one country and one time zone. Relative to Antwerp, this is when the sun rises today elsewhere in Belgium:

Praying by another city's timetable can be off by several minutes, which matters most for Fajr and Maghrib. See the full list of cities for other countries.

Hatırla İslam shows Antwerp prayer times with a live countdown to the next salah, athan notifications, a lock-screen widget and Dynamic Island support — all free. Grant location access or pick Antwerp manually, and the times stay available offline after the first load.
