Everyday practice
A new city. The same daily rhythm.
A practical checklist for finding prayer times when your location and timezone change.
Look up the destination before you leave
Search for the destination city and read the country or region beneath the result. Many places share a name, and a correct-looking city name is not enough to identify the location. Athan for All’s city search includes regional labels to help distinguish those results.
Use the date controls to check your arrival day. The times belong to the selected location, not necessarily the timezone where you are currently viewing the website.
Check the timezone after you arrive
A phone may update its own clock automatically, but a city you selected manually stays selected until you change it. Check the place name and timezone above and below the timetable whenever you travel.
On the homepage, Use my location requests coordinates from your browser. If permission has already been granted, the homepage can refresh that location on a visit. If location access is declined or unavailable, city search remains available.
Check the calculation convention
The regional suggestion can change when you choose a different country. That suggestion is intended to give you a starting point. It does not replace a local mosque’s advice or account for every convention used within a country.
Your Asr preference is shown separately. If you compare the website with a printed timetable, compare the same date, location and settings, and check whether the printed times refer to prayer starts or congregation times.
Prepare for limited connectivity
The mobile app includes prayer calculation and city search data for on-device use. The website still needs an initial connection to load, and its city-search data is loaded in parts as needed. Do not assume a city you have never searched will be available in an offline browser.
A downloaded monthly CSV can serve as a reference for the location and settings printed in its header. Save a fresh copy if your destination or calculation settings change.
Keep practical planning separate from religious guidance
A timetable answers when calculated prayer events occur at a place. It does not decide questions about combining or shortening prayers during travel, or which local convention you should follow. For those questions, consult someone qualified to advise you.
Once your location, date, timezone and settings are checked, you can use the timetable as a practical companion for planning the day.
