Islamic prayer times can differ because organizations use different Fajr and Isha twilight angles, Maghrib rules, and Asr shadow methods. Compare all supported methods here.
Islamic prayer-time calculation methods are not just labels. They affect Fajr, Isha, and sometimes Maghrib because organizations use different twilight angles, fixed intervals, or regional conventions. This is why the same city can show slightly different times across apps and mosque calendars.
