Prayer Times by City — 140+ Cities Worldwide

Every 15° of longitude equals one hour of time difference. New York (74°W) and Chicago (87°W) are 13° apart — Chicago's sun rises about 52 minutes later on the same clock. This is why two cities in the same time zone can still have different prayer times.

The further north a city sits, the more extreme its seasonal variation. Seattle (47.6°N) can see Isha after 10:30 PM in June but before 7 PM in December — a 3.5-hour swing. Miami (25.8°N) experiences less than half that range. Minneapolis (45°N) is one of the US cities with the most dramatic variation.

Most US mosques use the ISNA method (15° Fajr / 15° Isha angles). Communities from South Asia may use the Karachi method (18°/18°), which gives earlier Fajr and later Isha. Asr differs by madhab: Hanafi Asr is 30–60 minutes later than Shafi'i/Hanbali Asr. All our city pages include a method switcher.

Prayer times shift by 1–3 minutes every day as the sun's declination changes throughout the year. This is why every city page shows a full monthly calendar — so you can plan ahead without checking daily. The shift is largest near the solstices and smallest near the equinoxes.
