Singapore Prayer Times Today: Official & Verified Schedule

James Freddie Davies Howard • 2026-10-14 • Reviewed by Ethan Collins

Anyone who has tried to pin down “today’s” prayer time in Singapore knows the problem: different apps can show different minutes. On the date this guide was fact-checked — — the leading apps put Maghrib within two minutes of 18:54, while Fajr differed by up to eight minutes across the same sources (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app); IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)), and the official reference that settles the question is the MUIS timetable published through Singapore’s national open-data portal.

Fajr range: 05:31–05:38 ·
Dhuhr range: 12:53–12:58 ·
Asr range: 16:00–16:06 ·
Maghrib range: 18:54–19:00 ·
Isha range: 20:04–20:25

  • Check the current date’s row on the MUIS record (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • Read the Malay labels: Subuh, Zohor, Asar, Isyak (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • Use apps as convenience, with the official row as the reference (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).

Ten facts, one pattern: the official record anchors every number, and the apps explain the spread.

What is the latest verified information about Singapore prayer times today?

The quickest way to think about Singapore prayer times is to separate the official layer from the published layer. For a concrete date, here is what the leading services actually show.

What are today’s published prayer times in Singapore?

  • Fajr / Subuh (pre-dawn): on Muslim Pro vs on IslamicFinder — an eight-minute gap on the same date (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app); IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).
  • Dhuhr / Zohor (midday), Asr / Asar (afternoon), and Maghrib (sunset): 12:52, 16:06, and 18:54 on Muslim Pro; IslamicFinder matches the first two and lists Maghrib at 18:55 (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app); IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).
  • Isha (night), labelled Isyak on the official record: 20:03 on both services, on a date Muslim Pro records as 3 Jumada al-Awwal 1448 (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app)).
The gap

According to Al-Habib.info, one community timetable lists Fajr at for the same date — a nine-minute spread between the earliest and latest pre-dawn times (Al-Habib.info (community timetable)). The official row is the tiebreaker.

These are the published numbers. The official numbers are the rows MUIS publishes: one calendar date per row, in the Malay field names Subuh, Syuruk, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, and Isyak, and in 24-hour format from 2026 onward (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Which prayer times are listed in the standard Singapore daily schedule?

  • Subuh — the Malay label for Fajr, the pre-dawn prayer.
  • Syuruk — sunrise, the reference point between Subuh and Zohor.
  • Zohor — the Malay label for Dhuhr, the midday prayer.
  • Asar — the Malay label for Asr, the late-afternoon prayer.
  • Maghrib — the sunset prayer, the same word in Malay and English.
  • Isyak — the Malay label for Isha, the night prayer.

These six labels are exactly the fields in the official MUIS record, so reading a mosque noticeboard and reading the national dataset are the same skill (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

The pattern: the labels change, the prayers do not — and the date row is the only element that requires verification.

Bottom line: For Muslims in Singapore, the verified route is official-first: check the date-specific MUIS row, then let the app handle the reminder. Everyone else should treat any single aggregator time as approximate until it matches the official row.

The pattern is consistent: trust the dated row, use the app as a convenience, and treat any number that contradicts the official row as a calculation artifact.

What should readers know first about Singapore prayer times today?

Two facts clear up most of the confusion. First, prayer times track the sun, so the schedule moves every day. Second, Singapore is compact enough that one national-style timetable works for the island — yet different websites still end up with different minutes.

Why do Singapore prayer times differ slightly across websites?

  • The timetable is calculated from the sun’s position, and every app converts that position into clock time using angle settings — IslamicFinder’s Singapore preset uses a Fajr angle of 20° and an Isha angle of 18° (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).
  • Small differences in those angles, or in the coordinates chosen for “Singapore”, produce the minute-level gaps between sites (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).
  • The official dataset removes most of that ambiguity because it publishes one row per date with a stated date range (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Do I need to check the time every day?

  • Yes — because the sun’s arc changes each day, the official record is built as one row per date rather than one all-purpose time (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • In practice the daily drift is a few minutes, but across a year Fajr and Isha shift by tens of minutes — which is why monthly timetables exist (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Apps update automatically, so they work well for routine once the date row matches today (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app)).
Why this matters

An eight-minute Fajr gap is not a rounding error: it changes when someone starts the pre-dawn prayer, and the official row is the only number that settles it (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

The implication: the schedule is stable enough to plan around, but “today” is a real variable — the sun moves, and the table moves with it.

Which official sources confirm key claims about Singapore prayer times today?

The short answer is MUIS, with the machine-readable copy on data.gov.sg. Both are public, primary records.

Who publishes the official prayer timetable in Singapore?

  • The Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) is Singapore’s official Islamic religious council and the authority behind the national prayer timetable (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • MUIS publishes the annual timetable through its Islamic Calendar resource — the same page mosques use as the reference (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • The machine-readable version lives on data.gov.sg in records that cover January 2024 through December 2026 (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

What is MUIS?

  • MUIS — Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura — is Singapore’s Islamic religious council (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Its annual timetable is the schedule that mosques reproduce for daily use, down to the daily jadual waktu solat printed on noticeboards (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Government and institutional sources rank above aggregator-only pages because they publish the underlying record, not a recalculation (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Why this matters: every app is a downstream calculation; the official record is upstream, and the date row settles the argument.

What is still unclear or unverified about Singapore prayer times today?

This guide is explicit about what the search results could not confirm. Because several third-party pages carry low confidence, the unclear list is longer than the confirmed one.

Confirmed facts

  • MUIS is the official Islamic authority in Singapore (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • The open-data record spans January 2024 through December 2026 (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • 2026 official times use 24-hour format (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • The five daily prayers map to the Malay labels Subuh, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, and Isyak (MUIS (official Islamic council)).

What’s unclear

  • The exact official time for a given “today” is not confirmed by search snippets alone; only the date’s row in the MUIS record settles it (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • Aggregators do not always state their calculation method (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).
  • “Today” may refer to different calendar dates on different pages (TimesPrayer (third-party aggregator)).
  • Community-run tables can drift further — Al-Habib.info lists 14 October 2026 Fajr at 05:40, Dhuhr at 12:54, Asr at 16:07, Maghrib at 18:55, and Isha at 20:00 (Al-Habib.info (community timetable)).
  • TimesPrayer lists the same date with Fajr 05:36, Syuruk 06:47, Dhuhr 12:50, Asr 16:05, Maghrib 18:53, and Isha 20:23 (TimesPrayer (third-party aggregator)).

The pattern: the official layer is unambiguous; the ambiguity lives in the republishing layer above it — so the skill is checking which layer you are reading.

What are the most common user questions about Singapore prayer times today?

The same few questions keep appearing in searches. Here are the direct answers, with the date-specific numbers for 14 October 2026.

What time is sunrise (Syuruk) today in Singapore?

  • On 14 October 2026, IslamicFinder lists Syuruk at , while TimesPrayer lists 06:47 (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory); TimesPrayer (third-party aggregator)).
  • Syuruk is the Malay word for sunrise and appears as a field in the official MUIS record, between Subuh and Zohor (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Is there one prayer time for all of Singapore?

  • In practice, yes: the MUIS timetable serves the whole country, and mosques reproduce it (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Some aggregators still maintain separate pages for different city labels, which is why coordinates can differ across sites (IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).

How do I read a Malay-language prayer timetable?

  • Subuh = Fajr, Zohor = Dhuhr, Asar = Asr, Maghrib = Maghrib, and Isyak = Isha (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Syuruk is the sunrise reference point, not a prayer (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • 2026 official timetables display 24-hour clock times, so reads as 6:54 PM (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

What this means: once you can read the six Malay labels, the mosque noticeboard and the official dataset become the same document.

How to verify today’s Singapore prayer schedule in under a minute

Verification takes five steps and one official page.

  1. Open the MUIS Islamic Calendar or the data.gov.sg record. Both publish the same national timetable (MUIS (official Islamic council); data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  2. Confirm the date row matches today. The official table uses one row per calendar date (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  3. Read the Malay labels. Subuh, Syuruk, Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, Isyak is the official order (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  4. Convert 24-hour times for 2026. 18:54 means 6:54 PM (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  5. Cross-check one app. If Muslim Pro or IslamicFinder matches the official row, the app is safe to keep for reminders (Muslim Pro (prayer-time app)).
The upshot

Official-first, app-second: check the row, read the label, convert the format, and only then trust the notification. That order removes the aggregator confusion in under a minute.

The trade-off: apps win on convenience and lose on authority; a monthly one-minute check keeps the two aligned.

Bottom line: For Muslims in Singapore, the monthly habit is simple: open MUIS, check today’s row, set the app to match. Skip it, and Fajr can start nine minutes earlier on one site than on another.

That monthly check turns a one-time puzzle into a five-step routine.

How Singapore prayer times shift across the day and year

The schedule is stable but never static. Four time scales explain the movement.

  • Daily — the times move a few minutes because they track the sun; the official record encodes this as one row per date (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).
  • Monthly — MUIS and the main apps publish monthly timetables, which is why most readers only re-check at the start of each month (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Ramadan — special schedules add Imsak and move the fasting window around sunset, with Fajr and Isha shifting most visibly (MUIS (official Islamic council)).
  • Yearly — seasonal changes move Fajr and Isha by tens of minutes; the 2024–2026 open-data record makes that range visible at a glance (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

The implication: treating last month’s timetable as today’s is the most common error — the date range in the official dataset exists precisely because the sun does not stand still.

What the official record and the apps actually say

Three statements from the sources themselves summarise the picture.

MUIS publishes the official prayer timetable for Singapore, and the consolidated open-data record covers January 2024 through December 2026.

— data.gov.sg (national open-data portal), MUIS prayer timings record

From 2026 onward, the official presentation of MUIS prayer timings uses a 24-hour format, with one row per calendar date.

— data.gov.sg (national open-data portal), MUIS prayer timings record

IslamicFinder’s Singapore calculations follow MUIS settings — a Fajr angle of 20 degrees and an Isha angle of 18 degrees.

— IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory), Singapore listing

The pattern: the official sources define the what; the aggregators define the how — and the minutes in between are where verification matters.

The practical takeaway

Singapore’s prayer-time puzzle is not a data problem — the official data is public, dated, and clear. The problem is choosing which layer to read: the MUIS row for today’s date, or the convenient app whose settings can move Fajr by eight minutes on the same calendar day. For Muslims in Singapore, the strategy is a single recurring habit: verify the date row once a month, use the app as a reminder, and treat any aggregator time that disagrees with the official row as noise — or accept that your pre-dawn and night prayers may start minutes off from the congregation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Subuh and Fajr in a Singapore timetable?

None — Subuh is simply the Malay label for Fajr, the pre-dawn prayer, and it is the label used in the official MUIS record (MUIS (official Islamic council)).

What does Zohor mean on a Singapore prayer schedule?

Zohor is the Malay label for Dhuhr, the midday prayer; on the official table it sits between Syuruk and Asar (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Should I follow the nearest mosque or a national app in Singapore?

Mosques follow the MUIS national timetable, so the app and the mosque should agree. When they do not, the official date row is the reference (MUIS (official Islamic council); data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Do prayer times in Singapore change during Ramadan?

Yes — Ramadan schedules add Imsak and shift the times around dawn and sunset, with Fajr and Isha moving most visibly (MUIS (official Islamic council)).

What is Imsak time in Singapore prayer schedules?

Imsak is the pre-dawn marker shown on Ramadan schedules; MUIS special schedules include it because the fasting window starts before Fajr (MUIS (official Islamic council)).

How can I check if an online Singapore prayer-time page is current?

Confirm the page shows a date range or a “today” row, compare its numbers with the official MUIS dataset, and check whether it states a calculation method (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal); IslamicFinder (prayer-time directory)).

Does Singapore have daylight saving time changes for prayer times?

No DST adjustments appear in the official record: the MUIS dataset lists one row per date in 24-hour format, with no clock-shift correction (data.gov.sg (national open-data portal)).

Reading the official Malay labels removes the final layer of guesswork between the noticeboard and the national dataset.
