The daily schedules provided here follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi calculation method using Hanafi Asr timing. These reflect the exact start of each prayer time though local mosques usually hold congregation (jamaat) slightly later.

As Pakistan’s largest city, Karachi features landmarks like New Memon Masjid and Masjid-e-Tooba, with daily Karachi prayer timing running a few minutes behind eastern Punjab.
