How Prayer Times Work in Rawalpindi
The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is widely used in Pakistan, and most people follow the Hanafi rule for Asr, which gives a later Asr time than the Shafi rule.
Midday (Dhuhr) in Rawalpindi comes about 5 minutes later than in Lahore, because Rawalpindi lies about 1.3 degrees further west. Both cities use the same clock time, and solar noon shifts by about 4 minutes for every degree of longitude.
Day length in Rawalpindi changes through the year, from about 9 h 55 min in December to about 14 h 23 min in June. That is why Fajr, Sunrise and Maghrib move earlier or later across the seasons, and why fasting hours in Ramadan depend on the time of year. See the Ramadan calendar for Sehri and Iftar times.
