SalahNowUzbekistan prayer times
The Muslim Board of Uzbekistan publishes today’s times but not a downloadable national table. This page explains the parameters the app takes from the Board’s own code, and the one minute on Dhuhr that is kept on purpose.

How these times are calculated
The Muslim Board of Uzbekistan publishes only the current day’s times on muslim.uz and islom.uz, not a downloadable national table, so the app calculates rather than reproducing a published table. The angles and the four-minute Shom margin used here are read from the Board’s own published prayer-time code and were checked against fifteen days of its published times: Fajr, sunrise, Asr, Shom and Isha land on the same minute, while Dhuhr here can be published one minute later than the Board’s — deliberately, so the time can never fall before zawāl. Because the six times do not all match exactly, and the Board publishes no table to reproduce, every row is labelled as calculated. Precaution minutes added by individual mosques are outside this scope.

- Institution
- Muslim Board of Uzbekistan
- Method
- Muslim World League base, calibrated to the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan
- Fajr 15.5°, Isha 15.5° and Shom four minutes after sunset — the Board’s own values, replacing the base preset’s 18°/17°.
- Asr
- Asr uses the Hanafi shadow ratio of two, which is what the Board publishes and what Uzbek mosques call; the ratio can be changed in the app and only Asr moves.
- Precaution minutes
- Shom carries the Board’s own four-minute margin after sunset. Dhuhr keeps the one built-in minute of the base preset so the time can never fall before zawāl. Nothing else is adjusted.
- Time zone
- Uzbekistan abolished daylight saving in 1991, so nothing in these tables moves because of a clock change. The country is wide, though: Nukus in Karakalpakstan and Andijan in the Fergana valley are about twelve degrees of longitude apart, close to fifty minutes of real solar time, which is why each city is calculated from its own coordinates rather than offset from Tashkent.
- Hijri calendar and crescent
- Ramadan, Eid and the other Hijri dates for Uzbekistan are announced by the Muslim Board, the same body whose prayer-time parameters these pages use. The Hijri date shown in the app is calculated and can sit a day away from the Board’s announcement.
The country’s religious administration. It publishes the current day’s prayer times on its two portals and announces the Hijri dates, but does not publish a downloadable national timetable.

What the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan publishes
The Muslim Board of Uzbekistan runs two official portals, muslim.uz and islom.uz, and both show prayer times. What they show, though, is the current day — a widget and a page, not a downloadable annual table. That is an important distinction for an app: there is no published national timetable to reproduce row by row, so times have to be calculated. The question is only which parameters to calculate with, and on that point the Board is unusually transparent.
Reading the parameters from the Board’s own code
The islom.uz site calculates its times in the browser, and the parameters are written plainly in its published code: Fajr at fifteen and a half degrees, Isha at the same fifteen and a half, the Hanafi ratio for Asr, and Shom set four minutes after sunset. Those values are not a guess fitted to a handful of observed times; they are the Board’s own settings, and the app uses them directly. Checked against fifteen days of the Board’s published times, spread across nearly two years, Fajr, sunrise, Asr, Shom and Isha land on the same minute.
The one minute on Dhuhr
Dhuhr is the deliberate exception. The Board publishes Dhuhr at bare zawāl, the instant the sun crosses the meridian. The calculation base used here carries a single built-in minute after that point, so the time shown can be one minute later than the Board’s. That minute is kept rather than removed: a Dhuhr offered one minute late is valid, while a Dhuhr offered a moment early is not, and the safeguard is worth more than cosmetic agreement. It is also one reason these pages label the times as calculated rather than as the Board’s timetable.
A note on the Board’s earlier parameters
The Board changed its settings during 2026. Until mid-year it published Isha at fifteen degrees and added a five-minute margin to Dhuhr; by the end of August both had changed to the values described above. The app follows the current period, because that is what a reader comparing the app against today’s official page will see. If the Board reverts, only two numbers need to change — and the fifteen days of checked history include days from the earlier period, so the change can be made by measurement rather than by guesswork.
