Prayer Times in Austin — August 2026

Reading the August 2026 table

Prayer times in Austin today (Sunday, 30 August 2026): Fajr 05:59, Sunrise 07:07, Dhuhr 13:32, Asr 17:06, Maghrib 19:57, Isha 21:04. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Chicago timezone (UTC−5 · CDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Austin sits in Texas, United States, at 30.2672°, -97.7431°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The listed population is about 980,000 people.

For the latitude of Austin, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:07 and Maghrib is 19:57. Dhuhr (13:32) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United States, and why this page is calculated from Austin’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Islamic Society of North America method is the starting point on this Austin page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Many North American Islamic centres follow ISNA (15°/15°). If your masjid prints later Fajr than this page, switch the method to ISNA.

Muslims in Austin use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Austin is 43.5° from true north (NE), about 12,694 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in San Antonio (118 km), prayer times in Houston (235 km), prayer times in Fort Worth (279 km), prayer times in Dallas (293 km), prayer times in Irving (293 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Austin is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
