Prayer Times in Montreal — 2024

If you are in Montreal today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:46 (Fajr), 12:55 (Dhuhr), 16:39 (Asr), 19:37 (Maghrib) and 21:03 (Isha). 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.

Montreal sits in Quebec, Canada, at 45.5017°, -73.5673°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 1.8 million people.

For the latitude of Montreal, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:13 and Maghrib is 19:37. Dhuhr (12:55) 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 Montreal’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Montreal 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.

Muslims in Montreal use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Montreal is 58.7° from true north (ENE), about 9,998 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 Ottawa (166 km), prayer times in Quebec City (233 km), prayer times in Markham (491 km), prayer times in Toronto (504 km), prayer times in Mississauga (526 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 Montreal is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
