The year in Durban

Across 2026 Fajr in Durban moves between 03:12 and 05:27, and the fast from Fajr to Maghrib stretches from 11 h 41 min in June to 15 h 44 min in December. The gap between the two Asr measures is widest in summer and narrowest in winter, because it follows the sun's height, not a fixed number of minutes.

Fajr, sunrise, Maghrib and Isha through 2026 in Durban, local wall-clock time. Vertical axis is the time of day from 03:00 to 21:00; the lines from top to bottom are Fajr, sunrise, Maghrib and Isha.

Questions about Durban

When is Fajr in Durban in October 2026?

On 1 October Fajr in Durban is at 04:14, and on 31 October it is at 03:37. Around 1 October it moves about 1.3 minutes earlier each day. The full month is in the table above; the Sahaar app rings a real alarm at Fajr, through silent mode.

How far apart are the two Asr times in Durban?

On 1 October the Hanafi Asr (2× shadow) in Durban is 57 minutes after the standard Asr (1× shadow); across October the gap runs from 57 to 66 minutes. It is not a fixed offset: it depends on how high the sun climbs, so it widens in summer and narrows in winter. This page shows the Hanafi (2× / Asr al-thani) time first because that is the measure most congregations in South Africa pray by; the other is always beside it.

When are Maghrib and Isha in Durban this month?

Maghrib moves from 18:00 on 1 October to 18:20 on 31 October, and Isha from 19:18 to 19:43. Isha here follows the Karachi (Pakistan / India) twilight rule rather than a fixed number of minutes after Maghrib, so the Maghrib-to-Isha gap changes with the season too.

Which way is the qibla from Durban?

10° clockwise from true north, with the Kaaba 5,779 km away along the great circle. A phone compass points to magnetic north, so add your local magnetic declination before comparing; the Sahaar app does this for you.

Why might these times differ from my mosque's timetable in Durban?

Because a timetable fixes a method, an Asr measure and often a few minutes of caution, and this page only shows the calculation: Karachi (Pakistan / India) with the Hanafi (2×) Asr, and only the minute adjustments listed in the method box. A mosque using different twilight angles or the other Asr measure will differ by minutes at Fajr and Isha and by up to an hour at Asr. If your mosque publishes a timetable, follow it.
