Prayer Times in Newark — July 2025

Reading the July 2025 table

Accurate prayer times for Newark on Sunday, 30 August 2026: Fajr 05:02, Shuruq 06:22, Dhuhr 12:57, Asr 16:39, Maghrib 19:33, Isha 20:51. 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.

Newark is listed under New Jersey in United States. The engine uses 40.7357 latitude and -74.1724 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 listed population is about 310,000 people.

For the latitude of Newark, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:22 and Maghrib is 19:33. 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 Newark’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Islamic Society of North America method is the starting point on this Newark 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.

Newark (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 Newark is 58.4° from true north (ENE), about 10,317 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 (11 km), prayer times in New York (14 km), prayer times in Brooklyn (20 km), prayer times in Paterson (20 km), prayer times in Queens (32 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 Newark is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
