Reading the January 2028 table

Accurate prayer times for Kitchener on Sunday, 30 August 2026: Fajr 05:20, Shuruq 06:44, Dhuhr 13:23, Asr 17:06, Maghrib 20:02, Isha 21:24. 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.

Coordinates for Kitchener: 43.4516, -80.4925. Time zone America/Toronto (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 listed population is about 250,000 people.

For the latitude of Kitchener, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:44 and Maghrib is 20:02. Dhuhr (13:23) 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 Kitchener’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Islamic Society of North America method is the starting point on this Kitchener 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 Kitchener 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 Kitchener is 53.8° from true north (NE), about 10,581 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 Hamilton (55 km), prayer times in Brampton (67 km), prayer times in Mississauga (70 km), prayer times in London (80 km), prayer times in Toronto (92 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 Kitchener is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
