How Prayer Times Are Calculated
The ISNA Method
Prayer times are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, which uses a solar angle of 15° for both Fajr and Isha. This is one of the most widely used methods in North America and Western countries.
Calculations are powered by the Aladhan API, using precise astronomical data and your exact latitude and longitude.
Each Prayer Explained
- Fajr - Astronomical twilight (15° below horizon), before sunrise.
- Dhuhr - When the sun passes its zenith (solar noon).
- Asr - Shadow equals object height (Standard / Shafi method).
- Maghrib - Immediately after sunset.
- Isha - Twilight disappears (15° below horizon after sunset).
Times may vary by ±1–2 minutes due to atmospheric refraction and coordinate precision. Verify with a local Islamic authority for obligatory prayers.
