Prayer times – Hanói

Muslim Presence in Hanoi: Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is home to a small but established Muslim community. While the city does not have a large Muslim population, the presence of several mosques and prayer places indicates a long-term settlement of Muslims, primarily from the Cham ethnic group and expatriates. The community has maintained its religious practices discreetly within the urban fabric of the Old Quarter and surrounding districts.

Local Mosques and Prayer Places: The most prominent listed mosque is Masjid Al Noor Hanoi, located at 12 P. Hàng Lược in the Hoàn Kiếm district, within the historic Old Quarter. Nearby, An Noor Mosque at 16 P. Hàng Lược and another prayer place at the same address further indicate a concentration of Islamic activity in this area. Additional prayer places are found in the suburban districts of Thạch Thất and Quốc Oai, showing the community's spread beyond the city center.

Prayer Time Orientation: Muslims in Hanoi observe the five daily prayers—Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha—according to the city's timezone, Asia/Bangkok. Prayer times vary throughout the year due to Hanoi's latitude and seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset. The Qibla direction is oriented towards Mecca, and the distance to Mecca is approximately 7,200 km. The calculation method used is the default for the region, ensuring accurate timings for the local community.
