Prayer times in Stockholm

At 59° north, Stockholm reaches the point in midsummer where the sun never dips far enough for a true astronomical Fajr or Isha. The Moonsighting Committee method is designed for exactly this.

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 Stockholm is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to Moonsighting Committee 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 Stockholm

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.
