Azan Clock

What the Azan Clock Does

The countdown points to the next calculated prayer time for the selected city, while the table keeps the rest of today visible. Changing city recalculates the schedule from that location’s coordinates and time zone.

An optional alert can sound when a listed time arrives. The alert is a browser-generated reminder tone, not a recording of a muezzin and not a substitute for the call or timetable used by a mosque.

Reading a Calculated Schedule

The schedule uses the prayer method and Asr setting selected for the site. Those choices are shown to the user; their calculation details are kept on the methodology page so this tool does not repeat the same method-by-method essay found on every other prayer page.

If the times published by your mosque differ from this calculator, use the mosque schedule for the congregation. Location, calculation settings and local adjustments can all account for a small difference.

Voluntary Worship Windows

The optional windows below are easier to understand when grouped by where they sit in the day rather than as one long sequence:

  • Night — Witr belongs after Isha and before Fajr; late-night voluntary worship, including Tahajjud, falls within the night. The displayed Islamic-midnight marker is a time division, not another obligatory prayer.
  • After sunrise and the morning — the interface marks a post-sunrise window and the broader Duha period. Names such as Ishraq and Chasht are used in different communities for parts of this morning worship.
  • Restricted solar intervals — the tool marks the short periods around sunrise, solar noon and sunset because local prayer guidance may treat these differently from ordinary voluntary-prayer time.
  • Evening labels — terminology around Awwabin is not uniform across scholarly traditions. Some sources use the name for Duha, while some local schedules apply it to voluntary prayer after Maghrib; treat the label as a planning aid and follow the convention taught locally.

These extra markers are informational calculations. They do not add new obligatory prayers and should not be read as a site-issued religious ruling.

Questions People Ask

What does the Azan Clock alert mean?

It is a browser reminder that the next calculated prayer time has arrived for the selected city. It is not a replacement for a mosque’s call or timetable.

Does the page play a recorded adhan?

No. The alert tones are generated for the interface; the page does not reproduce a recitation recording.

Can I change the alert sound?

Yes. The tone selector belongs to this tool and its choice is kept separately from the other timer and alarm tools.

Why does changing city change the schedule?

The prayer calculation follows the selected coordinates and time zone. A city in the same time zone can still have different solar times.

Which prayer settings does the clock use?

It uses the site’s active prayer-method and Asr settings. Their calculation details are explained on the methodology page rather than repeated inside this FAQ.

Why can the mosque timetable be different?

A local institution may use another accepted calculation method or adjustment. Use the congregation’s published schedule when that is the timetable you follow.

What are the extra morning and night markers?

They are optional planning windows around voluntary worship and solar intervals. They do not create additional obligatory prayers.

Why can the label Awwabin mean different things?

The term is used differently across scholarly and local traditions, including for Duha in many sources and for post-Maghrib voluntary worship in some schedules. The tool treats it as a label rather than declaring one usage universal.

Where are sehri and iftar shown?

Use the Ramadan pages for the location-based pre-dawn and sunset timetable.
