Prayer Times in St. Paul — 2026

If you are in St. Paul today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:06 (Fajr), 13:13 (Dhuhr), 16:56 (Asr), 19:54 (Maghrib) and 21:19 (Isha). 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.

St. Paul is listed under Minnesota in United States. The engine uses 44.9537 latitude and -93.0900 longitude with IANA zone America/Chicago. 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 St. Paul, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:32 and Maghrib is 19:54. Dhuhr (13:13) 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 St. Paul’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for St. Paul 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.

St. Paul (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 St. Paul is 44.0° from true north (NE), about 11,229 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 Minneapolis (14 km), prayer times in Milwaukee (466 km), prayer times in Chicago (558 km), prayer times in Kansas City (662 km), prayer times in St. Louis (743 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 St. Paul is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
