Prayer Times in Houston — 2027

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Houston — Sunday, 30 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:50, Dhuhr at 13:22, Asr at 16:56, Maghrib at 19:47 and Isha at 20:54. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:58. 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.

Houston is listed under Texas in United States. The engine uses 29.7604 latitude and -95.3698 longitude with IANA zone America/Chicago. 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 urban area is on the order of 2.3 million people.

Houston is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 06:58 and Maghrib is at 19:47. Dhuhr (13:22) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Houston.

Calculation for Houston starts from Islamic Society of North America. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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.

Houston (United States) 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 Houston is 45.5° from true north (NE), about 12,574 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 Austin (235 km), prayer times in San Antonio (304 km), prayer times in Dallas (362 km), prayer times in Irving (371 km), prayer times in Fort Worth (382 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 Houston is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
