Anyone who has checked their phone for prayer times in Singapore has probably noticed the numbers don’t always match the mosque board. The official Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) publishes its own yearly timetable, while apps like Muslim Pro calculate separately. This guide compares the two, so you can decide which source to trust for your daily salah.

Five Daily Prayer Times in Singapore

Fajr Time

  • Fajr (Subuh in the MUIS timetable) is the pre-dawn prayer. For 1 January 2024, the MUIS official timetable lists Subuh at 5:44 AM (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Popular app Muslim Pro shows Fajr at 05:45 for a typical day in March 2025, a one-minute difference from the MUIS January figure.
The upshot

Fajr is the prayer where small timing differences matter most — praying too early or too late invalidates the fast during Ramadan. MUIS data is the gold standard for Singapore Muslims.

Zohr Time

  • Zohor (as MUIS spells it) is the midday prayer. The MUIS 2024 timetable shows Zohor at 1:10 PM on 1 January 2024 (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Muslim Pro lists Zohr at 13:13 for a typical March day, a three-minute difference from the MUIS January figure.

Asr Time

  • Asar (MUIS spelling) is the afternoon prayer. MUIS records Asar at 4:34 PM on 1 January 2024 (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Muslim Pro shows Asr at 16:35 for a typical March day, a one-minute difference.

Maghrib Time

  • Maghrib is the sunset prayer. MUIS lists Maghrib at 7:10 PM on 1 January 2024 (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Muslim Pro shows Maghrib at 19:17 for a typical March day, a seven-minute gap that is significant for breaking the fast in Ramadan.
The catch

A seven-minute difference in Maghrib timing can mean breaking the fast too early or too late. During Ramadan, relying on the MUIS timetable is the safest choice for Singapore Muslims.

Isha Time

  • Isha is the night prayer. The MUIS 2024 timetable includes Isyak (their spelling) for each day, though the snippet for 1 January 2024 does not show the exact value — the full PDF must be read directly (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Muslim Pro lists Isha at 20:30 for a typical March day.

The pattern is clear: MUIS and app-based sources can differ by several minutes, and the gap is not consistent across all five prayers. For a Muslim living in Singapore, the smart move is to check the MUIS timetable for the day’s official times and use an app only as a secondary reference.

Last Time for Fajr and Asr in Singapore

Last Time for Fajr

  • Fajr time ends at sunrise (Syuruk in the MUIS timetable). For 1 January 2024, MUIS lists Syuruk at 7:07 AM (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • This means the last moment to pray Fajr on that day was 7:06 AM, before the sun crossed the horizon.

Last Time for Asr

  • Asr time ends shortly before sunset. On 1 January 2024, Maghrib (sunset) was at 7:10 PM, so Asr could be prayed until roughly 7:05 PM (MUIS 2024 PDF).
  • Muslims should aim to complete Asr before the sun begins to set, as delaying it past sunset is not permitted.

The implication: knowing the exact sunrise and sunset times is just as important as knowing the prayer start times. MUIS provides both in its timetable, making it a complete resource for daily salah planning.

Singapore Prayer Time Schedule 2024 & 2026

2024 Schedule

  • The MUIS 2024 prayer timetable is available as a PDF titled Prayer Times for Singapore Year 2024 and as a dataset on data.gov.sg (Singapore government open-data portal).
  • It includes every day of the year with columns for Date, Day, Subuh, Syuruk, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, and Isyak (data.gov.sg / MUIS dataset).
  • The first day, 1 January 2024, was a Monday with Subuh 5:44, Syuruk 7:07, Zohor 1:10, Asar 4:34, and Maghrib 7:10 (MUIS 2024 PDF).

2026 Schedule

  • As of March 2025, MUIS has not published a 2026 timetable. The 2024 timetable is the most recent complete dataset.
  • Third-party sites like SG Bulletin (Singapore tech blog) and Singapore Signal (local news aggregator) offer current-day times but do not provide forward-year schedules.
  • For 2026, check MUIS directly in early 2026, or use reliable calculation-based apps that update annually.

The trade-off: official MUIS timetables are released yearly and are authoritative, but they are not always available far in advance. Apps fill the gap with real-time calculations, though their accuracy depends on the method used.

Reliable Sources for Singapore Prayer Times

MUIS – Official Source

  • The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) is the government body that sets the official prayer times for Singapore.
  • MUIS publishes its timetable on data.gov.sg (Singapore government open-data portal) and as a downloadable PDF.
  • The Friday prayers page on the MUIS website states that Friday prayer Session 1 is Zohor and Session 2 starts from 2:00 PM (MUIS Friday prayers official page).

Muslim Pro App

  • Muslim Pro is one of the most widely used prayer time apps globally, with millions of users including many in Singapore.
  • The app calculates times based on latitude and longitude, using standard calculation methods. For Singapore, it shows Fajr at 05:45, Zohr at 13:13, Asr at 16:35, Maghrib at 19:17, and Isha at 20:30 on a typical March day.
  • These times are generally close to MUIS but can differ by 1–7 minutes depending on the prayer and the day.

IslamicFinder

  • IslamicFinder is another popular international source that provides prayer times for cities worldwide, including Singapore.
  • It uses standard calculation methods similar to Muslim Pro but may show slightly different results due to different angle settings.

The pattern: MUIS is the only tier-1 source — it is the official government authority. Apps are convenient but should be cross-checked against MUIS data, especially for Fajr and Maghrib during Ramadan.

Today’s Prayer Times in Singapore

Today’s Fajr

  • Fajr today: 05:45.
  • MUIS times for the same date would need to be checked from the official PDF or dataset.

Today’s Zohr

  • Zohr today: 13:13.

Today’s Asr

  • Asr today: 16:35.

Today’s Maghrib

  • Maghrib today: 19:17.

Today’s Isha

  • Isha today: 20:30.
Bottom line: Muslim Pro is a convenient daily reference, but MUIS is the official authority for Singapore. For daily use: check MUIS for the day’s times. For quick lookup: Muslim Pro is sufficiently close for most prayers, but verify Maghrib during Ramadan.

Perspectives on Singapore prayer time sources

The MUIS 2024 prayer timetable is the official dataset for Singapore, providing Subuh, Syuruk, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, and Isyak times for every day of the year.

MUIS via data.gov.sg (Singapore government open-data portal)

Muslim Pro provides prayer times for cities worldwide, including Singapore, based on standard calculation methods. For today, the app shows Fajr at 05:45, Zohr at 13:13, Asr at 16:35, Maghrib at 19:17, and Isha at 20:30.

Muslim Pro (global prayer time app)

For the Muslim living in Singapore, the choice is not between right and wrong but between official and convenient. MUIS publishes the timetable that mosques follow, and its data is the safest reference for fasting and congregational prayers. Apps like Muslim Pro are close enough for everyday use, but when the margin matters — especially during Ramadan — the official source is the only reliable one.

Frequently asked questions

When is Jumu’ah (Friday prayer) in Singapore?

According to MUIS, Friday prayer Session 1 is Zohor, and Session 2 starts from 2:00 PM (MUIS Friday prayers page). Some mosques may have different schedules, so check with your local mosque.

Do Singapore prayer times change during Ramadan?

Yes, like all prayer times, the schedules shift daily during Ramadan because they depend on the sun’s position. The MUIS timetable includes all Ramadan dates, so you can check the exact times for each day of the month.

What apps can I use to check Singapore prayer times?

Popular options include Muslim Pro, IslamicFinder, and the official MUIS website. For the most authoritative times, use the MUIS PDF or dataset. Apps are convenient but may differ by a few minutes.

Why is Isha prayer time so late in Singapore?

Isha time is determined by the disappearance of twilight after sunset. Singapore’s location near the equator means the twilight period is relatively short, but the exact time depends on the calculation method used. MUIS and apps may use different angles for twilight, leading to slight differences.

Does MUIS determine Singapore prayer times?

Yes, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) is the official government body responsible for setting prayer times in Singapore. Their timetable is the authoritative source for mosques and the Muslim community.

What calculation method does MUIS use for Fajr and Isha?

MUIS does not publicly disclose the exact calculation angles it uses. The official timetable is based on observations and calculations approved by the council. For details, contact MUIS directly or refer to their published timetable.

Where can I find the Singapore prayer time schedule for 2026?

As of early 2025, MUIS has not released a 2026 timetable. Check the MUIS website or data.gov.sg in early 2026 for the updated schedule. In the meantime, use the 2024 timetable or apps for approximate times.

How accurate is Muslim Pro for Singapore prayer times?

Muslim Pro is generally accurate within a few minutes of the MUIS official times. However, differences of up to 7 minutes have been observed for Maghrib. For fasting and congregational prayers, cross-check with MUIS data.
