Azan playing at the wrong time?

If Azan plays at the wrong time, check the location, timezone, daylight-saving rules and selected method first.

Diagnostic order

Exactly one hour out is almost always daylight saving or a timezone setting. A few minutes out is usually location or method. Wildly out is usually the wrong city entirely.

Compare against a second source

Check the same prayer on the same date against a locally reviewed timetable. Compare one prayer at a time — if only Maghrib disagrees, the Maghrib convention is your answer.

Avoid custom offsets

Adding a manual offset hides the real problem and breaks the moment the season changes. Fix the setting, not the symptom.

When to ask for support

If location, timezone and method are all correct and times are still wrong, note the date, city, method and the two times you are comparing before contacting the maker.
