Tahajjud Time Calculator
Use this free Tahajjud Time Calculator to find Tahajjud time today, the last third of the night and Islamic midnight from Maghrib and the following Fajr. Check cities in Pakistan such as Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, UAE cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or any other city worldwide.
How to use the Tahajjud Time Calculator
- Enter your city and country. Dubai, United Arab Emirates is selected by default.
- Choose the date on which the night begins. For example, a night beginning on 17 September uses Maghrib on 17 September and Fajr on 18 September.
- Select the calculation method used by your local prayer timetable, then press Calculate Tahajjud Time.
- Read the last-third start and Fajr end time. You can also see Islamic midnight and all three parts of the night.
If automatic lookup is unavailable or differs from your mosque, enter the local Maghrib and next-morning Fajr times in the manual section. Use both times from the same local timetable. The displayed clock times follow the selected location; they should not be treated as your own local times when checking another country.

How the Tahajjud Time Calculator works
The Islamic night for this calculation runs from المغرب until the following morning’s الفجر. The total night is divided into three equal parts. The final third begins after two-thirds of the night have passed.
Formula: Last third start = Fajr − one-third of the Maghrib-to-Fajr night length. Tahajjud itself can be prayed after Isha and sleep; the last third is commonly regarded as the most virtuous part of the night.
Tahajjud time in Pakistan, UAE and worldwide
Prayer times shift throughout the year, so the last third is not a fixed clock time such as 2:00 AM. Use the calculator for Pakistan cities including Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad; UAE cities including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain; or another city worldwide. Always compare the result with the timetable followed by your trusted local mosque when needed.

Last third of the night: calculation example
Suppose Maghrib is at 6:00 PM and Fajr the next morning is at 6:00 AM. The night lasts 12 hours, so each third lasts four hours.
- First third: 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
- Second third: 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
- Last third: 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM.
- Islamic midnight: 12:00 AM in this example.
These are example times, not today’s timetable for Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Enter your actual local times above. On a shorter or longer night, the calculator changes the length of each third automatically.
This last third of the night calculator uses Maghrib to measure the night, but that does not mean Tahajjud starts at Maghrib. The calculation identifies the final third; night prayer is associated with the period after Isha and before Fajr.
Prayer-time data and references
Automatic timings come from the AlAdhan Prayer Times API. Different methods and local adjustments can produce different Fajr times, which also changes the calculated last third.
The significance of the last third is described in Sahih al-Bukhari 1145. For practical worship timings, follow your trusted local mosque or relevant prayer-time authority.
Tahajjud Time Calculator FAQs
What time is Tahajjud tonight?
The exact clock time changes by location and date. Use the calculator above to get the last-third window from tonight’s Maghrib to tomorrow’s Fajr.
How do I calculate the last third of the night?
Measure the time from Maghrib to the next Fajr, divide the duration by three, and subtract one third from Fajr. That result is the beginning of the last third.
Is Islamic midnight the same as 12:00 AM?
No. Islamic midnight in this calculator is the midpoint between Maghrib and the following Fajr, so it can be earlier or later than 12:00 AM.
Why might my mosque show slightly different times?
Prayer-time authorities can use different calculation methods and local adjustments. For worship, follow the timetable used by your trusted local mosque or relevant authority.
