Prayer times in Birmingham

Birmingham runs a few minutes behind London for every prayer, being further west. Mosque timetables across the city commonly use Muslim World League angles.

Why timetables disagree

Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for Birmingham is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to Muslim World League here and lets you change it.

Asr, and the two calculations

Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — often by the better part of an hour. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.

Getting the adhan in Birmingham

Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
