Isha Time Karachi Today – Start, Islamic Midnight and Tahajjud

Isha time in Karachi today, Saturday, 24 October 2026 (12 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), starts at 7:14 PM. In Fiqh Hanafi it stays valid until Fajr at 5:18 AM, but it is best prayed before the Islamic midnight at 11:38 PM. Tomorrow Isha begins at 7:13 PM.

When Isha Begins in Karachi

Isha begins once the last of the evening twilight has left the western sky, when the sun is 18° below the horizon. This is the Hanafi position, which waits for the white glow to fade, not just the red. In Karachi today that is 7:14 PM.

Apps that use 15° put Isha in Karachi about 13 minutes earlier. On 10 October 2026 they showed 7:13 PM, while Isha by the Karachi method began at 7:26 PM. Praying at the earlier time can mean praying before Isha has started.

Isha Time in Karachi for the Next 30 Days

For each night: when Isha begins, the Islamic midnight, and when Isha ends at the next Fajr.

How Late Can You Pray Isha in Karachi?

By Fiqh Hanafi, Isha remains valid until Fajr, at 5:18 AM tomorrow. Within that span:

• Preferred: before a third of the night has passed. The Prophet ﷺ said he would have told his ummah to delay Isha to a third of the night, were it not a hardship for them (Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 167).
• Allowed: until the Islamic midnight, 11:38 PM tonight, following the hadith that gives Isha’s time “until the middle of the night” (Sahih Muslim 612).
• Disliked without a reason: from midnight until Fajr. The prayer still counts.

The Islamic midnight is halfway between sunset and Fajr, not 12:00 on the clock.

Karachi’s Nights Through the Year

Isha in Karachi is earliest around 20 November at 7:02 PM and latest around 23 June at 8:54 PM. The time between Isha and Fajr is longest around mid-December, about 10 hours 42 minutes, and shortest around mid-June, about 7 hours 21 minutes. Karachi’s summer nights stay close to an hour longer than in Punjab, which leaves more room for sleep before Fajr and for tahajjud.

Witr and Tahajjud

Witr is three rakats after Isha, and in the Hanafi school it is wajib. “Make witr the last of your prayers at night” (Sahih al-Bukhari 998); if you rise for tahajjud, you may leave witr until after it. Tonight the last third of the night in Karachi begins at 1:31 AM, the time the Prophet ﷺ said Allah descends to the lowest heaven and asks who is calling upon Him (Sahih al-Bukhari 1145).

Isha and Taraweeh in Ramadan

Taraweeh follows the Isha fard and sunnah, so it can never begin before Isha time. Our Hanafi sehri and iftar timetable for Karachi covers the fasting times for the month.

How Many Rakats Are in Isha?

Seventeen in the Hanafi practice: four sunnah ghair mu’akkadah, four fard, two sunnah mu’akkadah, two nafl, three witr and two nafl. The four fard and three witr are never to be left. The Prophet ﷺ disliked sleeping before Isha and talking late after it (Sahih al-Bukhari 568), so pray, then rest, and wake for Fajr time in Karachi.
