Prayer Times in New York — September 2023

Reading the September 2023 table

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for New York — Sunday, 30 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:02, Dhuhr at 12:57, Asr at 16:38, Maghrib at 19:32 and Isha at 20:51. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:21. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/New_York timezone (UTC−4 · EDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

New York is listed under New York in United States. The engine uses 40.7128 latitude and -74.0060 longitude with IANA zone America/New_York. 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 8.3 million people.

For the latitude of New York, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:21 and Maghrib is 19:32. Dhuhr (12:57) 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 New York’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for New York 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.

New York City’s Muslim communities stretch from Bay Ridge and Jackson Heights to Harlem, Paterson and Jersey City just across the Hudson. Because the city spans a wide longitude, a Brooklyn timetable and a Queens timetable can differ by a minute. This page uses a Manhattan/city-centroid coordinate.

Qibla from New York is 58.5° from true north (ENE), about 10,306 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 Jersey City (3 km), prayer times in Brooklyn (6 km), prayer times in Newark (14 km), prayer times in Queens (18 km), prayer times in Paterson (27 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 New York is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
