Prayer times for many areas can be found at the home pages of local masajid and student organizations. Below are some tools that can also calculate prayer times for many areas. There are sometimes different opinions on determination of prayer times, so it’s usually best to follow established schedules of your local community (for example, Shafi`i fiqh and a solar depression angle of 15 degrees are the norm for North American calculations). In extreme latitudes, the length of days and nights allows for an exception to normal calculation. Please use one of the following links to find prayer schedule for your area.
