Salah times in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka, the island nation south of India with a population of around 22 million, is home to a Muslim community of around 10% — the third-largest religious group on the island after Buddhists and Hindus. The country's Muslim community arrived primarily through Arab traders sailing the Indian Ocean from the eighth century onward; the descendants of these traders, known locally as Moors, form the core of the Sri Lankan Muslim identity, alongside Malay and Indian Muslim communities. Most Sri Lankan Muslims follow the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence — reflecting their Arab maritime origins — though Hanafi influence is also present. The Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque in Colombo (1909), known for its distinctive red-and-white striped facade, is one of the most visually recognisable mosques in South Asia. Prayer times are typically calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi or Muslim World League method. Sri Lanka observes Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) without daylight saving.
