About prayer times in Hamilton

Accurate prayer times for Hamilton on Sunday, 30 August 2026: Fajr 05:18, Shuruq 06:42, Dhuhr 13:20, Asr 17:03, Maghrib 19:59, Isha 21:21. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Toronto timezone (UTC−4 · EDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Hamilton is listed under Ontario in Canada. The engine uses 43.2557 latitude and -79.8711 longitude with IANA zone America/Toronto. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 570,000 people.

For the latitude of Hamilton, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:42 and Maghrib is 19:59. Dhuhr (13:20) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Canada, and why this page is calculated from Hamilton’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

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

Hamilton (Canada) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Hamilton is 54.3° from true north (NE), about 10,554 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 Mississauga (41 km), prayer times in Brampton (54 km), prayer times in Kitchener (55 km), prayer times in Toronto (59 km), prayer times in Markham (79 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 Hamilton is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
