Prayer Times in Brooklyn — March 2026

Reading the March 2026 table

Prayer times in Brooklyn today (Sunday, 30 August 2026): Fajr 05:02, Sunrise 06:21, Dhuhr 12:56, Asr 16:38, Maghrib 19:32, Isha 20:50. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/New_York timezone (UTC−4 · EDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Brooklyn: 40.6782, -73.9442. Time zone America/New_York (UTC−4 · EDT) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 2.6 million people.

For the latitude of Brooklyn, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:21 and Maghrib is 19:32. Dhuhr (12:56) 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 Brooklyn’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Islamic Society of North America method is the starting point on this Brooklyn 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.

Travellers through Brooklyn should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Brooklyn is 58.5° from true north (ENE), about 10,304 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 New York (6 km), prayer times in Jersey City (9 km), prayer times in Queens (14 km), prayer times in Newark (20 km), prayer times in Paterson (33 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 Brooklyn is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
