Prayer Times in the United States

How Sahaar calculates prayer times in the United States

For the United States Sahaar defaults to the ISNA method, which places both Fajr and Isha at 15° below the horizon. Most masjids in North America build their monthly sheets from the same angles, so a page here should sit within a minute or two of the noticeboard schedule; any gap is usually local rounding or a deliberate margin, not a different sky.

Dhuhr carries the one-minute margin the ISNA profile adds after the sun crosses the meridian. Islamic dates in the app follow the Fiqh Council of North America, but that choice never touches the five daily times shown on these pages.

The Asr column defaults to the standard measure (1× shadow). The Hanafi measure (2× shadow) is printed next to it on every city page, for communities that pray by the later figure. A city north of 48.5° — Alaska, in practice — would switch to a middle-of-the-night limit for Fajr and Isha; across the contiguous states the 15° angles resolve on every night of the year.

These pages are calculated by Sahaar and are not an official timetable. If your masjid prints its own schedule, that is the one to keep.

Calculated — not an official timetable. Why prayer times differ between apps and timetables.

Cities

20 cities so far, chosen by the size of their Muslim communities rather than by population. On 1 October Fajr comes first in Phoenix (05:15) and last in Atlanta (06:24), each in its own local time; Minneapolis is the northernmost at 45.0° north and Houston the southernmost at 29.8° north, so summer nights differ most between them. The table groups them by state: 15 states in this wave.
