Prayer Times in Indianapolis — May 2026

Reading the May 2026 table

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Indianapolis — Sunday, 30 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:53, Dhuhr at 13:45, Asr at 17:26, Maghrib at 20:20 and Isha at 21:37. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 07:11. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Indiana/Indianapolis timezone (UTC−4 · EDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Indianapolis is listed under Indiana in United States. The engine uses 39.7684 latitude and -86.1581 longitude with IANA zone America/Indiana/Indianapolis. 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 880,000 people.

For the latitude of Indianapolis, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:11 and Maghrib is 20:20. Dhuhr (13:45) 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 Indianapolis’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Indianapolis 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.

Indianapolis (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 Indianapolis is 50.1° from true north (NE), about 11,205 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 Chicago (265 km), prayer times in Columbus (270 km), prayer times in Ann Arbor (345 km), prayer times in St. Louis (371 km), prayer times in Dearborn (378 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 Indianapolis is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
