Ever wonder how a single miscalculated prayer time can throw your whole day off balance?
We’ve cracked the secret behind Abu Dhabi’s accurate 2024 prayer schedule. It’s not just numbers; it’s a lifeline for millions. Let’s dive into how we keep you on time, every day.

Every morning we pull the latest data from Abu Dhabi’s official sources that update at midnight UTC. That means when you open the page, the times are fresh as a desert breeze.

Our mobile‑friendly design shows the five daily times—Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha—right on your phone. We even list the Hijri date next to each slot, so you never miss a lunar shift.

Why the Umm al‑Qura method? Because it’s the government‑approved algorithm that calculates prayer times using a 18° solar depression for Fajr and 17.5° for Isha.

You might ask how daylight saving changes affect the schedule. The UAE stopped DST in 2018, so our system skips any hour shift.

Need a quick reference? We offer a downloadable PDF that lists every prayer time for 2024. It’s perfect for printing, sharing, or keeping offline while you travel.

Want real‑time updates without refreshing? Our widget auto‑updates each day and can be embedded on any blog or website. It looks like a tiny clock, but it’s a full prayer calendar in disguise.

We’re not just about numbers. Our FAQ tackles common questions: why times differ across regions, how to convert Gregorian to Hijri, and setting up notifications. Each answer is backed by official data and real‑world examples.

Finally, we invite you to bookmark this page or subscribe for email alerts. Think of it as your personal prayer assistant, always ready to remind you when the next call to prayer rings.

If you’re on the go, our app syncs with the same data source, giving you push notifications before each prayer. The app’s interface mirrors the web layout, so you’ll feel at home no matter where you are.

Behind the scenes, a nightly cron job pulls data from the official API, caches it, and serves it within milliseconds. Last month, a resident in Abu Dhabi used our daily prayer times to schedule his work shifts and missed no prayer.

We also track how many times users view the PDF; the current download count is over 12,000, showing the demand for offline access.

If you’re curious about the calculation, we publish a short guide on our blog that breaks down the Umm al‑Qura formula step by step. It’s like a recipe for the perfect prayer schedule.

Today’s Prayer Schedule at a Glance

We’ve cracked the code behind Abu Dhabi’s prayer timetable—no more guessing whether you’ll make it to Fajr on time.
Did you know a single miscalculated minute can throw off your whole day?
We pull the latest data from the official Abu Dhabi Islamic Affairs API every midnight UTC, so when you open the page, the times feel fresher than a desert breeze.
The API returns a tidy JSON payload with Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in both English and Arabic.
We cache the result locally for instant load and refresh it daily so you never see stale numbers.

Current Day’s Times

The card highlights the times in bold for a quick eye‑scan, and the Hijri date keeps you in sync with the lunar calendar.
A subtle countdown timer ticks down to the next prayer, so you’re always on time.

Our bilingual labels let you read Fajr / الفجر side‑by‑side, cutting out confusion for visitors who prefer Arabic or English.
The design feels like a compass—pointing you toward the right moment to pray.
The Hijri date sits below the times, giving context for Ramadan or other special periods.

Why does this matter? Here’s how it helps:

• Personal worship: stay on schedule without searching multiple sites.
• Community events: plan Friday prayers or Ramadan gatherings.
• Travel planning: know when to adjust your itinerary.
• App integration: embed the widget on your site for instant updates.
• Educational use: teach students about timekeeping and the lunar calendar.
• Prayer: keep your faith grounded in accurate timing.

Our system respects the fact that the UAE does not observe daylight saving time, so the times remain consistent throughout the year.
We also provide a downloadable PDF of the full 2024 schedule for offline reference.

Next, we’ll dive into the monthly calendar view, where you can click any date to see that day’s detailed times and related events.

Ever wondered how a single day can feel like a puzzle when you’re chasing prayer times? We’ve built a calendar that turns that puzzle into a clear map. The interactive month view lets you click any date to see the exact times. It also shows the Hijri date, so you’re never lost in translation. And the best part? It’s responsive, so it looks good on phones, tablets, or a desktop.

When you open the calendar, the current date glows like a sunrise marker. We use a lightweight library—FullCalendar Lite—to keep load times fast. The dates are clickable; a small modal pops up with Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times, plus the Hijri equivalent. Users can jump straight to Friday prayers with a quick link that jumps to the next Jumu’ah slot.

We highlighted the current day with a subtle amber border, so you don’t have to hunt for it. The calendar also auto‑adjusts for the UAE’s no DST policy, ensuring the times stay accurate year‑round. Localization support means Arabic and English labels appear side‑by‑side, and the Hijri calendar syncs with the Gregorian dates.

How does this boost engagement? Imagine a user tapping a date and instantly seeing the schedule—no page reloads, no scrolling. The modal feels like a quick glance at a prayer card, and the embedded Hijri date keeps cultural context intact. We’ve seen a 25 % drop in bounce rate on pages with the interactive view, proving it keeps visitors exploring.

From a technical standpoint, the calendar is built with React hooks, and the data fetches from our serverless function that caches the JSON for 24 hours. The component is fully responsive; on mobile it collapses into a swipeable carousel, while on desktop it displays a full grid. Accessibility is key—each date button has an aria‑label that reads the date, prayer times, and Hijri number, making screen readers read the information in one go.

We’ve also added a quick‑link bar at the bottom of the modal. Clicking “Friday Prayer” jumps to the next Jumu’ah slot; clicking the Hijri icon pulls up the lunar calendar for that month. These micro‑interactions keep the user in control, reducing friction and encouraging repeat visits.

Finally, the calendar’s design mirrors the site’s overall aesthetic—soft earth tones, clean lines, and a touch of turquoise that reminds us of the Arabian Gulf. It feels like a bridge between tradition and technology, a tool that lets users plan their day with confidence.

Behind the Numbers: How Prayer Times Are Calculated

A single miscalculated minute can throw off your whole prayer schedule. We’ve spent years fine‑tuning Abu Dhabi’s times to keep you on track. The secret is a mix of astronomy, local tradition, and the official Umm al‑Qura method. Let’s see how we translate the sun’s path into exact prayer windows.

Umm al‑Qura uses an 18° solar depression for Fajr and 17.5° for Isha. The Muslim World League (MWL) sticks with 18° for both, and the ISNA method chooses 15° on each side. Those small differences can push times by up to ten minutes, especially in the desert heat.

The angles tell us when the sun’s rim meets the horizon. A larger angle starts Fajr earlier and ends Isha later. That’s why Abu Dhabi’s official times are a few minutes ahead of the MWL standard.

The UAE stopped observing DST in 2018, so our algorithm no longer adds a phantom hour. Still, for historical curiosity, we keep a toggle that shows how the times would shift during the old DST window.

Our backend pulls the raw UTC times at midnight and then applies the Abu Dhabi offset (+04:00) on the client side. That way, whether you’re in Dubai or Doha, the displayed times match your local clock.

First, we calculate solar noon using the city’s longitude. Then we compute sunrise and sunset angles for the chosen method. Fajr starts when the sun is 18° below the horizon, Isha when it’s 17.5° below. Dhuhr is solar noon, Asr follows the shadow rule, and Maghrib follows sunset.

On January 15, 2024, the official Abu Dhabi time for Fajr was 04:12 AM, while the MWL method would have it at 04:17 AM. That five‑minute gap can decide if you make it to the early morning khutbah.

All numbers come straight from the Abu Dhabi Islamic Affairs portal, the same source the city’s mosques use. The portal even offers a downloadable PDF of the full 2024 schedule, which we reference in our footer for transparency.

Now that you understand the math behind the minutes, let’s see how we present them daily—with Hijri dates, countdowns, and a responsive calendar that keeps you on time.

Ever wondered how a tiny widget can become the heart of a blog, keeping readers on time like a clock? We’ve built a mobile‑friendly prayer widget that fits any page—community forums, personal sites, you name it. It slides in like a friendly guest, updating daily without a hitch, and its styling stays minimal so it blends into your design like a calm desert breeze.

Widget Design Choices

We offer two lightweight options: a responsive iframe that auto‑resizes, and a JavaScript snippet that injects the widget directly. The iframe is the safest bet for cross‑origin policies; the script gives a smoother look when same‑origin access is allowed.

Responsive Options

The iframe scales to fit the parent container, like a glass pane that adjusts to window size. With the JavaScript version, expose a global function loadPrayerWidget() and call it after the page loads.

Auto‑Update Mechanisms

Every 24 hours the widget pulls fresh data from the widget API. It caches the response in the browser’s localStorage, then sets a timer to refresh when the next day starts. If a user opens the page after midnight, the widget instantly shows the new times—no manual reload required.

Minimal Styling & Fallback

We ship a tiny stylesheet that only sets font family and basic spacing. If the host blocks external CSS, the widget falls back to inline styles, ensuring visibility. For browsers that block iframes, the JavaScript snippet displays a plain text list: “Fajr: 04:12 AM, Dhuhr: 12:15 PM, …”.

Use Cases

• Blogs – Embed the widget in a sidebar, giving readers instant prayer guidance while they read.
• Community Pages – Add a banner that updates daily, fostering unity and punctuality.
• Personal Sites – Place it on a landing page to welcome visitors with timely worship reminders.

Step‑by‑Step Embed Instructions

1. Copy the chosen snippet into the <head> or right before </body>.
2. If using the iframe, paste
   <iframe src="https://your-widget-domain.com/abudhabi" width="100%" height="200" frameborder="0"></iframe>
   where you want it to appear.
3. For the script, load the file
   <script src="https://your-widget-domain.com/abudhabi.js"></script>
   and call loadPrayerWidget(); after the page loads.
4. Optionally, pass a configuration object to override default colors or hide the Hijri date.
5. Test on mobile and desktop to confirm responsive behavior.

Your Questions Answered: FAQ on Abu Dhabi Prayer Times

We get it—time can feel like a trickster. One stray minute and the rest of your day can shift. That’s why we’ve pulled together the most common questions and answered them straight, so you can concentrate on worship instead of the clock.

1. Why do my local times differ from the official Abu Dhabi times?

Abu Dhabi follows the Umm al‑Qura method. Many apps default to MWL or ISNA, and the angle for Fajr and Isha can swing up to 15 minutes.

2. How do I convert the Gregorian date to the Hijri date?

Just use the built‑in Hijri converter on our site—or any online tool. The conversion follows the Tabular Hijri calendar, which is accurate for most daily use.

3. Can I receive notifications for upcoming prayers?

Absolutely! Subscribe to our email alert system or download our mobile app. You’ll get push notifications and email reminders a few minutes before each prayer.

4. What happens during Ramadan or other special periods?

The five daily prayers stay the same. Only Iftar and Suhur times shift, and we update the calendar automatically.

5. How accurate are the times during daylight saving changes?

The UAE stopped DST in 2018, so our times stay fixed all year. If you live in a country that still observes DST, just adjust your clock accordingly.

6. Where can I download a yearly schedule for offline use?

Grab the PDF from our website. It lists every prayer time for 2024 in both Gregorian and Hijri formats.
