Prayer Times in Memphis — August 2026

Reading the August 2026 table

Accurate prayer times for Memphis on Sunday, 30 August 2026: Fajr 05:19, Shuruq 06:31, Dhuhr 13:01, Asr 16:39, Maghrib 19:31, Isha 20:42. 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.

Coordinates for Memphis: 35.1495, -90.0490. Time zone America/Chicago (UTC−5 · CDT) 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 630,000 people.

For the latitude of Memphis, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:31 and Maghrib is 19:31. Dhuhr (13:01) 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 Memphis’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Islamic Society of North America method is the starting point on this Memphis 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 Memphis 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 Memphis is 48.0° from true north (NE), about 11,801 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 Nashville (316 km), prayer times in St. Louis (387 km), prayer times in Atlanta (542 km), prayer times in New Orleans (578 km), prayer times in Kansas City (595 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 Memphis is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
