What it marks
Fajr
The Fajr window opens; for fasting, suhoor ends.

The sun has passed its zenith; Dhuhr begins.
Asr
Asr begins and lasts until sunset.

The Asr time above follows the standard (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali) opinion. Following the Hanafi opinion, Asr in Copenhagen today begins at 17:44 — the difference is the shadow ratio each school uses, not a difference in accuracy.
Every day of September 2026 for Copenhagen. 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.

Qibla
Copenhagen qibla direction
138.2°Bearing from true north (south-east)
4,426 kmGreat-circle distance to the Kaaba
55.6761° N/12.5683° ECity centre coordinates (Europe/Copenhagen)
Facing the Kaaba from Copenhagen means turning to approximately 138.2 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.

Yearly
Copenhagen sun calendar 2026
At 55.7° latitude, Copenhagen 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.

Above roughly 55° latitude the sun no longer drops 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so Fajr and Isha cannot be defined by the usual angle at all. The times here use the angle-based high-latitude rule, which divides the short night proportionally — the same approach most mosques in Denmark follow.

Clock change
Summer time in Denmark
In 2026, Denmark 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/Copenhagen rather than a fixed UTC offset, the transition is handled automatically. This is one of the differences between Denmark and Türkiye, which abolished seasonal clock changes in 2016.

What time is Fajr and Maghrib in Copenhagen today?
On Friday, 4 September 2026, Fajr in Copenhagen is at 03:59 and Maghrib (iftar) at 19:56 — a fasting day of 15h 57m. The same day, sunrise is 06:20, Dhuhr 13:09, Asr 16:49 and Isha 22:07, all in local time (UTC+02:00).
What is the qibla direction in Copenhagen?
From Copenhagen the qibla bearing to the Kaaba is approximately 138.2° measured clockwise from true north — roughly south-east. The great-circle distance to Makkah is about 4,426 km. When using a phone compass, remember that magnetic north differs from true north; the Hatırla İslam qibla compass corrects for this automatically.
Why is Asr listed twice for Copenhagen?
Because the two mainstream opinions give different times. In the Hanafi school Asr begins when an object's shadow equals twice its own length; in the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, once it equals one length. For Copenhagen today that is 16:49 (standard) and 17:44 (Hanafi). Both are listed so you can follow whichever your community does.
How long is the longest fasting day in Copenhagen?
In Copenhagen the longest gap between Fajr and Maghrib falls on 5 May 2026 — about 19 hours 28 minutes (Fajr 01:27, Maghrib 20:55). The shortest is 19 December 2026, roughly 9 hours 22 minutes. Because Ramadan follows the Hijri calendar it moves about 11 days earlier each year, so the length of the fast shifts with it.
When are the earliest and latest Fajr times in Copenhagen?
Across the year, Fajr in Copenhagen is earliest around 01:27 (5 May 2026) and latest around 06:20 (1 January 2026). The longest day is 5 May 2026 with about 15 hours 35 minutes of daylight; the shortest is 20 December 2026 at about 7 hours 1 minute.
Do the clocks changing affect prayer times in Copenhagen?
The astronomical moment of each prayer never changes — only the clock reading does. Denmark moves to summer time on 29 March 2026 and back on 25 October 2026 in 2026, so every listed time jumps by an hour overnight on those two dates. The times on this page already account for it, because they are calculated in Europe/Copenhagen.
Which calculation method is used for Copenhagen?
These times use the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), the most widely used standard across European mosques, with the angle-based rule for high latitudes so Isha and Fajr remain defined through the short summer nights. If your local mosque publishes a different timetable, that is normally down to a different Fajr/Isha angle rather than an error — a few minutes of difference is expected.
How do I see Copenhagen prayer times on my phone?
Open the Hatırla İslam app and either grant location access or pick your city; it shows the six daily times, a live countdown to the next salah and the Hijri date on one screen. The lock-screen widget and Dynamic Island support are free, and times stay available offline after the first load.
