Prayer times

Turn on prayer times

Prayer times stay off until you choose your city. Open My account, then the Prayer times page, or press "Choose my city" when Today invites you.

• Press "Use my current location" and allow your browser to share it. Basira keeps only your city and its approximate centre (about a kilometre), never your exact place.
• Or type your city's name, search, and pick it from the results.

Your city is kept privately on your account and nobody else sees it.

What you see

• On Today: the next prayer and its time. Press it to open the full page.
• On the Prayer times page: today's times (Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, sunset, Maghrib and midnight), with the next one marked, and a table of the next seven days.

Times show in your device's time zone when you saved your city. If you move to another city, choose it again.

Calculation method

• Qum (Leva Institute), the default: Fajr when the sun is 16° below the horizon, Maghrib at 4°.
• Tehran (Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran): Fajr at 17.7°, Maghrib at 4.5°.

In both methods midnight is halfway between sunset and Fajr. Times are calculated, so they may differ by a minute or two from your local mosque's timetable; follow your marja's guidance when it differs.

Turn it off

Press "Turn off prayer times" on the page. Your city is deleted and the line leaves Today.
