The five daily prayers and how their times are set
- Fajr
- Begins at true dawn, when the Sun is 15.0° below the horizon before sunrise under the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method. It ends at sunrise.
- Sunrise
- Not a prayer: the moment the upper edge of the Sun appears, which ends the time for Fajr.
- Dhuhr
- Begins just after the Sun passes its highest point (solar noon). Solar noon is not 12:00: it depends on longitude, the time zone and the time of year.
- Asr
- Begins when an object's shadow equals its length plus its noon shadow (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali), or twice its length plus its noon shadow (Hanafi), which is later.
- Maghrib
- Begins at sunset, when the upper edge of the Sun disappears; corrected for atmospheric refraction.
- Isha
- Begins at nightfall: when the Sun is 15.0° below the horizon after sunset (end of evening twilight).
Calculation methods compared
| Method | Fajr angle | Isha rule | Fajr in New York City today | Isha in New York City today | Commonly used in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) | 15.0° | 15.0° | North America | ||
| Muslim World League (MWL) | 18.0° | 17.0° | Europe, parts of Asia | ||
| Egyptian General Authority of Survey | 19.5° | 17.5° | Egypt, parts of Africa and the Middle East | ||
| University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi | 18.0° | 18.0° | Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan | ||

A larger angle means an earlier Fajr and a later Isha. The difference between methods can reach 20–40 minutes in the United States, and more in summer at northern latitudes. Use the method your local mosque follows; our calculator lets you switch methods and the Asr convention.
Why your mosque's timetable may differ
- Calculation method: mosques may use a different Fajr and Isha angle (see the table above).
- Asr convention: Hanafi Asr is usually 30 to 70 minutes later than the standard Asr in the US.
- Iqama versus prayer time: a mosque timetable often lists the congregation (iqama) time, which is set some minutes after the start of the prayer time.
- Safety margins: some timetables add a few minutes to Maghrib or subtract from Fajr; we show the calculated time and say so.
- Location: times change by about one minute for every 12 miles east or west, so a city-wide table can differ slightly from your exact address. Use your ZIP code for the closest result.
- High latitudes: in Alaska and the far north in summer, the Sun may not go deep enough below the horizon; the page then states which rule was applied.

How this site works
- Times are calculated on this server from the Sun's position for each location, with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method by default. Nothing is copied from other prayer-time sites.
- Tested on 377 cases against adhan-js 4.4.6: largest difference 59.9 seconds (high-latitude edge cases are reported separately).
- Mosque listings appear only after their details are checked; a halal listing appears only after its halal status is verified with the venue, a certifier or a visit.
