The five daily prayers
Muslims pray five times a day, each within its own window set by the sun. In Singapore the prayers are known by their Malay names, and each has a start time after which it may be prayed until the next prayer begins.
- Subuh (Fajr) — before dawn, until sunrise (Syuruk)
- Zohor (Dhuhr) — after the sun passes its peak, in the early afternoon
- Asar (Asr) — mid to late afternoon
- Maghrib — just after sunset
- Isyak (Isha) — night, after the twilight fades
Who sets prayer times in Singapore?
The official authority is MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura). It publishes the daily and monthly prayer timetable for Singapore, which mosques, apps and tools follow. Because the times are based on the sun's position over Singapore, they move by a minute or two each day through the year.
Syuruk (sunrise) is listed alongside the five prayers because it marks the end of the Subuh window — you'll often see it on the same timetable.
- MUIS publishes the official Singapore timetable
- Times shift slightly each day with the sun
- Syuruk marks the end of the Subuh window

How to check today's waktu solat
The reliable way is to follow a timetable aligned with MUIS rather than a generic global calculator, which can differ by several minutes. Our prayer-times tool shows today's times for Singapore, and you can find the qibla direction for prayer too.
Friday (Jumaat) prayers
On Fridays, the Zohor prayer is replaced by the congregational Jumaat prayer at the mosque, which includes a khutbah (sermon). Timings vary by mosque, so check your local masjid's Jumaat schedule — many run more than one session to manage the crowd.
- Jumaat replaces Zohor on Fridays, prayed in congregation
- Includes the khutbah (sermon) before the prayer
- Check your mosque's session timings in advance
